'''Waqf''' means a permanent dedication of a person professing [[Islam]] of any movable or immovable property for any purpose recognized by Muslim law as - auspicious, religious or charitable.<br />
<br />
'''Wakif''' is a person donating property. Once the property is donated the donor loses all the rights over the property and such property cannot be transferred, mortgaged, or alienated without permission of the Waqf board.<br />
<br />
