    "content": "Having said that, I want to say that even as much as I support the Bill, because I think to a great extent it meets the constitutional standards of personal law, I would be concerned about certain aspects that I think are going beyond. I will be bringing amendments. Because they are very many, I may not mention all of them. So, I will pick just a few. Let me wear my glasses. The Bill basically sets a structure for Muslims to endow property or cash to a religious, charitable or benevolent purpose in accordance with the Islamic law. I was listening very carefully to Hon. Aden Duale. Just like Hon. Chris alluded to, I want to see where in the Quran it excludes other faithfuls. If he convinces me it is in the Quran, I will not argue. The way I do not argue with the Bible, I do not argue with the Quran. The Bible talks about including everyone, including Muslims. So, there is no reason to exclude Christians in getting money from the waqf. Therefore, I think I will bring an amendment to ensure that it includes everyone that may be needy. Some of the issues I want to raise are on the definition of waqf khairi . It would be tidy if you added the word “solely” so that you make it clear from waqf ahli for individuals and for waqf mushtaraq, which is a blend of both. I wish Hon. Duale was here because then he could understand what I am saying. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
