Endowment: Public Interference in Ḥusayniyyah Endowment Clauses

English:

Question #2011:

Has the public at large who take part in commemorative assemblies, and in whose interests the ḥusayniyyah was established, the right to interfere and come up with certain interpretations to the clauses of the endowment deed?

Answer #2011:

In trying to understand the provisions laid down in the endowment deed, should they be of an opaque nature or an ambiguous one, reference has to be made to the context and common view. Therefore, no one has the right to interpret them according to their opinion.
