Section 99. Capital of Wakaf and nazr 'am.

(1) Subject to the provisions of sub-sections (2) and (3) of this section, the capital property and assets affected by any lawful wakaf or nazr 'am shall not form part of the Fund, but shall be applied in pursuance of such wakaf or nazr 'am and held as segregated funds.

(2) If from lapse of time or change of circumstances it is no longer possible beneficially to carry out the exact provisions of any wakaf or nazr 'am, the Majlis shall prepare a scheme for the application of the property and assets affected thereby in a manner as closely as may be analogous to that required by the terms of such wakaf or nazr 'am, and shall apply the same accordingly:

Provided that the Majlis may, with the approval in writing of His Highness the Sultan, direct that such property and assets shall be added to and form part of the Fund.

(3) If the terms of any wakaf or nazr 'am are such that no method of application of the capital property and assets affected thereby is specified, or it is uncertain in what manner the same should be applied, the Majlis may direct that such capital property and assets shall be added to and form part of the Fund.

(4) All instruments creating, evidencing or affecting any wakaf or nazr 'am, together with any documents of title or other securities relating thereto, shall be held and retained by the Majlis.
