The Influence of the Endowment's Moral Personality on its
Administration and Governance in Algerian Legislation
Abstract
Islamic jurisprudence and statutory law collectively acknowledge that an endowment (waqf) possesses a notional personality, which ensures civil and criminal legal safeguards. Undoubtedly, endowments have become a cornerstone for economic and social advancement. Recognizing the moral personality of an endowment significantly impacts its governance, particularly through the appointment of an administrator responsible for overseeing its operations and management. This framework is notably relevant in Algeria, where the government has established a regulatory system to oversee local-level endowment administration, facilitating autonomy in management, governance, and investment within the framework of Algerian legislation.
Keywords: legal personality, endowment institute, administrator, Algerian legislation
