27. The Wagqf of Moveables. 
By Tur Hon. Dr. A. at-Ma’Mo0n SUHRAWARDY, 
Barrister-at- Law. 
PREFACE. 
The subject of this paper has been a fruitful source of con- 
troversy among jurists in all ages in all countries under Muslim 
Law. Elsewhere! I have traced in detail the history of this 
controversy in the various countries of Islam. Here I shall 
content myself with merely indicating the conflicting decisions 
on the point to be found in the Indian Law Reports: Khajah 
Hossein Ali v. Shahzadi Hazrah Begum (1869), 12 W.R., 344; 
Fatima Bibi v. Ariff Ismailji Bham (1881), 9 C.L.R., 66; Kaleloola 
v. Naseerudeen (1894), 18 Mad. 201; Abu Sayid Khan v. Bakar 
Ali (1901), I.L.R., 24 All. 190; Sakina Khanum v. Laddan 
Sahiba (1902), 2 C.L.J., 218; Civil Rule No. 51 of 1902, un- 
reported (Rangoon, 1903); Mofazzul Karim v. Mohammed 
(1905), 2 C.L.J., 166; Kulsom Bibi v. Golam Hossein Cassim 
Ariff (1905), 10 C.W.N., 449; Banubi v. Narsingrao (1906), 
I.L.R.,31 Bom. 250; Mohammed Ismail Ariff v. Ibrahim Gholam 
Ariff, unreported (Rangoon, 1907); Bai Fatmabai v. Golam 
Hossein (1907), 9 Bom. L.R., 1337; Yusuf Saratera v. Mollah 
Mahmood, unreported (334 of 1907) decision of the Cal. H. C. ; 
Kadir Ibrahim Rowther v. Mahomed Rahamadulla Rowther (1909), 
33 Mad., 118. 
For the purpose of this paper I do not claim to have laid 
under contribution all the works extant on Muslim Law. Be- 
sides those works from which I have made the excerpts, there 
are others which support my view, e.g. the Fatawd Anqarawiy- 
yah, p. 704, ed. Cairo, Minhaj al-Talibin, Fath al-Qarib, etc.
