Arabic (موقوف) for waqf assets/ properties. In other words, mawqoof constitutes assets/ properties dedicated by the waqf donor/ waqf founder (waqif) as endowment (waqf) according to specific stipulations. Mawqoof is held under the administration of a trustee known as nazher al-waqf (mutawalli al-waqf) who will be in charge of it for the benefit of designated waqf beneficiaries.

However, the term mawqoof is often used interchangeably with waqf (i.e., waqf also denotes the very meaning of waqf assets/ properties).

Mawqoof is also spelled “mawquf“.
