(Ms.) Odhiambo-Mabona","speaker":{"id":376,"legal_name":"Millie Grace Akoth Odhiambo Mabona","slug":"millie-odhiambo-mabona"},"content":" What I am proposing to appear in my amendment is that — 4. (1) A Waqf shall be valid where – (a) It is made in accordance with Islamic law; (b) The Waaqif has attained eighteen years; (c) The Waaqif is of sound mind; and, (d) It is made for religious purposes and for the poor and vulnerable within the Muslim community. (2) A person shall only make a Waqf in relation to property the person owns. Then we will retain the one in the Bill that provided that the absences of any reservation of the ultimate benefit of a Waqf for the poor or any other purpose under Islamic law as a purpose of a permanent character shall not invalidate a Waqf. Then (2) in the Bill remains."}
