        Undoubtedly Waqf assets like any other property involve passage of time so they have expiration dates. The benefit and expediency of waqf assets depend on the sustenance of those properties so if their life span ends up by any cause, it is natural that their benefits also expire. It seems that by changing the usage of waqf assets, those properties can be sustained. The presented study is conducted with the purpose of "finding some strategies to facilitate the sale and conversion of waqf assets and increasing permission cases of changing their usage" and aims to review the arguments for and against this subject, apply previously conducted research by contemporary jurists and lawyers, and challenge the condition of permanence of endowment. The research method is descriptive-analytic and the results showed that in some cases, the usage of waqf assets can be changed and those properties can be used for other purposes provided that it is consistent with the aim of the endower.       Manuscript profile
