  "en": "In the lexicon, imara is what a thing is made to flourish by, and it also means building. As a term it is the doing of what keeps land or a building in good condition, such as reviving land, repairing and plastering a building {cite:fiqh-mawsua-kuwaitiyya-noor-v3 p.11805}. It is narrower than building, and than the revival of land in either sense {cite:fiqh-mawsua-kuwaitiyya-noor-v3 p.11805} {cite:fiqh-mawsua-kuwaitiyya-noor-v3 p.11806}. The supervisor of an endowment must keep it in repair from its income or from what the founder stipulated; a guardian must keep his ward's real estate in repair; a restrained person must keep his own property in repair; a free adult is not obliged to do so, though neglecting a ruin is disliked {cite:fiqh-mawsua-kuwaitiyya-noor-v3 p.11806}. The upkeep of mosques is a communal duty, kept by worship, teaching and cleaning, and is strongly recommended {cite:fiqh-mawsua-kuwaitiyya-noor-v3 p.11806}."
