Hadith 3332

أَخْبَرَنَا أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ: "أَنَّ الزُّبَيْرَ جَعَلَ دُورَهُ صَدَقَةً عَلَى بَنِيهِ، لَا تُبَاعُ وَلَا تُوَرَّثُ، وَأَنَّ لِلْمَرْدُودَةِ مِنْ بَنَاتِهِ أَنْ تَسْكُنَ غَيْرَ مُضِرَّةٍ وَلَا مُضَارٍّ بِهَا، فَإِنْ هِيَ اسْتَغْنَتْ بِزَوْجٍ، فَلَا حَقَّ لَهَا".
Hisham narrated from his father (Urwah bin Az-Zubair) that Sayyiduna Zubair bin Al-Awwam (may Allah be pleased with him) dedicated his houses as endowment for his sons and stipulated that they should neither be sold nor divided as inheritance, and he said to one of his divorced daughters that she may reside in it and should not cause any harm to the house, nor should anyone else cause harm to it, and a daughter who has a husband does not have the right to reside in that house.

Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Hadith 3331)

To safeguard the principal property through sale, inheritance, or gift, and to designate its income for a specific cause in the way of Allah (fi sabilillah), is called waqf (endowment). That is, it is not permissible to sell it, gift it, or distribute it among heirs as inheritance.

Waqf is also valid for one's children, as in the aforementioned narration, where Sayyiduna Zubair radi Allahu anhu made his house a waqf for his sons.

And Allah knows best.
