XXII. Sa‘pi Cuatri (V, p. 430, Hd. Cairo). 
As to the statement of the author (of the ‘Ina@yah) that 
‘‘one of its conditions is perpetuity, and perpetuity is not 
resent in moveables,’’ Isay that this statement is open to 
criticism; the reason being given in the reply from the argu- 
ment of al-Shafi‘i as will be stated later on. The author says ‘‘ it 
(the perpetuity) is indispensable as stated before.’’ I say the 
logical conclusion is that what is indispensable is the continuance 
of the wag/, so long as the subject-matter of the wagf continues, 
and this condition is fulfilled in the case in dispute also. There- 
fore the matter requires careful consideration.

_ “Its wagf is valid because it is possible to derive profit from 
it, therefore it resembles land, horses and arms’’: The reason 
isthat originally the wagf of horses and arms was not valid, 1.€-, 
every thing from which profit can be derived consistently with 
the continuance of its original, resembles land with respect to 
the validity of its wagf. ‘‘ We (Hanafis) contend that the wagf 
of them,’’ i.e., of the moveables which he (al-Shafi‘i) mentions, 
** Does not endure, and it is indispensable’’: i.e., the state 
of things is that perpetuity being indispensable the wagf of 
what does not endure is not valid.
