How does the concept of 'once a waqf, always a waqf' stand in light of the new law?
Explore the conflict between the new law and the Supreme Court's earlier stance on waqf properties.
- The concept of 'once a waqf, always a waqf' emphasizes that once a property is dedicated as waqf, it remains as such in perpetuity.
- The conflict arises with the new law that may seek to regulate or alter the status of waqf properties, potentially allowing for their reappropriation or change in status.
- This conflicts with the Supreme Court's earlier stance that upheld the sanctity of waqf properties and their perpetual dedication for religious or charitable purposes.
- The tension lies in balancing the rights of waqf administrators to manage properties efficiently with the need to preserve the original intent behind the dedication of waqf properties.
- There may be ongoing legal debates and challenges on how best to honor the principles of 'once a waqf, always a waqf' while addressing contemporary governance and regulatory concerns.
