The answer

Changing or replacing an endowment requires referring to the judge to examine the endowment and the extent of the need, as it is not permissible to dispose of endowed land by sale or exchange except if it serves the interest and benefit of the endowment. This must be done through the Sharia judge. If the disposer is not the supervisor of the endowment, he is not permitted to dispose of it except through the supervisor.
