Section 66. Capital of wakaf and nazar 'am.

(1) Subject to the provisions of sub-sections (2) and (3) of this section, the capital of wakaf or nazr 'am shall not form part of the Fund but shall be applied in accordance with the terms of such wakaf or nazar '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 nazar 'am, the Majlis shall prepare a scheme for the application of the property and assets of the said wakaf or nazar 'am for a purpose similar to that for which the said wakaf or nazar 'am was originally created, and such property and assets shall be applied accordingly:

Provided that the Majlis may in exceptional cases, with the approval in writing of the Ruler, direct that such property and assets be added to and form part of the Fund.

(3) The Majlis may, in any case where the manner of application of the capital of a wakaf or nazar 'am is not specified or, if specified, is specified so vaguely or inadequately as to make it impossible to give it any effect, direct such capital to be added to and form part of the Fund.

(4) All instruments creating or relating to any wakaf or nazar 'am (including any documents of title or other securities) shall be held and retained by the Majlis.
