Section 24: Court to give effect to charitable objects
consolidated text (as at 1992). juris shows the text as it was consolidated; it does not confirm that this is the law in force today.
24. Court to give effect to charitable objects
(1) Where a waqf is purported to be made expressing a general intention
of charity, but either particularising no objects, or particularising objects
which have failed, the property may, by an order of the Court, be devoted to
the poor, or to charitable objects as near as possible to those that have
failed.
(2) Making a declaration of waqf is conclusive proof for inferring a general charitable intention.
