Temporary waqf and perpetual benefit: a mathematical proof

Temporary waqf (Islamic pious foundation) possesses great unrealised potential of preserving maslahah (public interest) but to date, has not been given the attention it deserves. Temporary waqf is mostly accepted by the Maliki madhab (Islamic school of law) while in Malaysia, only Terengganu and the...
