Abstract

According to the Article of civil law and “Fogaha’s” (Jurisprudence)
viewpoints, if an endower has appointed as a responsible and he has
accepted it too, he can manage it as “Motavally-e Mansoos” (specified
custodian) in the limitation that endower has determined, provided that
his acts are not against the statute. Generally, if an endowment doesn’t
have any specific manager according to Article 81 of civil law, and an
article of law of “Owgaf”, then the leader of Islamic country (“Valiy-e
Fagih”) should take all responsibility. But there are some disagreements
in jurisprudence about managing endowment. This paper is to explain
some various ideas of jurisprudents regarding assigning the
responsibility of general endowment to those who do not have any
advantages under the “Valiy-e Fagih’s” management. The paper is also
to suggest that some rules should be developed in order to have legal
guaranties about acts of management.
