Renting out the Imam's accommodation

Q 2: A person gave a house as Waqf (endowment) to an Imam. Is it permissible for that Imam to rent it for money if he does not want to live there?


A: It is permissible for the Imam to rent this house and take the rent for himself. There is no harm as long as he undertakes the responsibilities of being the Imam. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
