The idea of Islamic waqf represents an important principle in the development of non-governmental sectors, which aims at the public benefit and socio-economic development. The legal meaning of waqf is the retention of a specific thing in trust and the devotion of its profit or products in charity to the poor or other good objectives, it is the permanent dedication by a Muslim of any property for any purpose recognized under the Muslim law as being religious, pious or charitable. The relationship between the waqf, architecture and urbanism is a very old and effective relationship in Islamic cities and plays an important role in achieving a good urban environment and providing user needs with a high degree of efficiency.
