Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Cy-près is a charitable-trust doctrine associated here with waqf. Where its conditions are met, property can be applied as nearly as possible to the charitable purpose rather than allowing the charity to fail. Abdul Rauf distinguishes severability of invalid provisions from cases requiring cy-près and recognises the doctrine’s application to the ultimate charitable object.
