The Mussalman Wakf (Repeal) Act, 2025 officially repeals the century-old Mussalman Wakf Act of 1923, which regulated the administration and financial oversight of Islamic religious and charitable endowments, known as wakfs, in India. This repeal applies to all trustees, managers, and beneficiaries of these properties. It matters because it officially retires an outdated colonial-era law, paving the way for updated administration. Crucially, the new Act guarantees that all prior actions, existing liabilities, and ongoing legal disputes initiated under the repealed 1923 legislation remain legally valid and will proceed unaffected, ensuring a stable transition for all parties involved.
