Is it permissible for the administration of a charitable society to mortgage its endowed properties to obtain a loan?
It is not permissible to mortgage an endowment (waqf) because it is not permissible to sell it. The purpose of a mortgage is to recover the debt from the price of the mortgaged item if the mortgagor is unable to repay. What cannot be sold cannot be used for this purpose.
