Endowment Of Usufruct Must Accompany Ownership Transfer
Is it permissible to endow the usufruct of a property, without endowing its ownership?
Usufruct alone is not endowable. While it is permissible to specify the manner in which the endowment is to be used (e.g. “the usufruct of this building goes to the poor and needy”), it is impermissible to endow only the use of a property while maintaining private ownership.
