The aforementioned house was endowed, detained, and perpetuated as a valid, legal endowment and an eternal detention dedicated to the benefit as long as he is alive, and after him to his wife Rifka daughter of Isaac Hayyim, then after her the mentioned endowment is to be leased after renovation and the building of its share for one year, and that shall be paid for its renewal, renovation, and its management, and after that the revenue of the mentioned endowment shall be for the poor and the destitute minors residing in the Talmud Torah school until they join to learn the reading of the Torah, and the Mutawalli for registering that endowment is Isaac Yusuf Isaac, and that is after the renovation and building of the endowment share, and the obligations of the said Isaac, the matter of the custodianship shall be in the hands of the Hakham Bashi who is appointed by the Sultan, he pays what is collected from the growth of the endowment to the society spending on such matters for the children of the poor residing in the mentioned school. And after the mentioned endower acknowledged and handed over all of that to the Mutawalli appointed for registration, the said Isaac, free from any encumbrances, then he recanted the mentioned endowment, arguing for its non-binding nature according to the jurists. After review and clarification from the endower's side, the judge of the illustrious Sharia ruled on the validity of the endowment and its binding nature in its specifics and generalities, proceeding according to the pattern of conditions and regulations, being aware of the existing dispute among the ancestral Imams. After the judge's ruling for the dispute, the endowment was completed and became binding, so it shall not be sold or mortgaged for its exchange after hearing it, for the sin of it is on those who change it, for He is All-Hearing, All-Knowing. And that is according to the endowment notification issued by the Sharia Court of Baghdad dated 11 Rabi' al-Awwal 1219 and number 2557, which was certified by the Deputy Minister of Justice 12/4/24 in accordance with the expert of the Majalla dated 9/9/26, the endowment transaction was registered.
