Discuss the powers and functions of Mutawalli under Muslim law.

Mutawalli is a person who has been appointed to manage the property of a waqf.

Under Muslim law, he has power to file a suit for protecting the property and for administering the property and he can also employ agents whenever he feels that it is necessary for the welfare of property but he can not alienate or charge the property without the permission of the court or without any reasonable urgent necessity or if he has not been empowered by the waqf deed.

He has power to grant the lease of waqf property but he can not grant it for a period exceeding three years if the property is agricultural property and for a period exceeding one year if the property is a non agricultural property. He can do so only if he has been empowered by the waqf deed or after getting the permission of the court.

According to Muslim law, a mutawalli has no power of incurring debt. If a person gives loan to mutawalli for carrying out the purposes of waqf, he has no remedy against the waqf property.
