Can waqf property be sold?

A waqf under Islamic law is an endowment of property such as a building or land for religious or charitable purposes. The endowment is intended to be perpetual. If the waqf is terminated for any reason the property returns to the founder or their heirs. Therefore it cannot be sold. However, there is reportedly gross corruption in the management of waqf property.A waqf under Islamic law is an endowment of property such as a building or land for religious or charitable purposes.

Why are only Muslims allowed to go to the dome of the rock?

The true answer is because both the Jordanian waqf and Israeli police do not want non-Muslims inside the Dome of the Rock. The Jordanian waqf, not Palestinian officials, govern the Temple Mount. Israeli police provide security. The Waqf want only Muslims, because it is comfortable for them and they feel good about exercising power over others. They would be happiest with a situation akin to Mecca or Medina, where only Muslims are allowed to breathe the air. The Israelis defer to the Waqf and do not want to risk World War 3 over some religious fanatic causing trouble. The Israeli government is implicated in this utterly discriminatory policy. It is a true outrage.
