In the above mentioned case, if the Waqif (endower) himself appointed the mutawalli (custodian) and the mutawalli bears the ability of being custodian i.e. he is pious, interested in the affairs of Waqf, then it is valid. Now it is not lawful for someone else to insist for the post of mutawalli unnecessarily and might land the sanctity of the mosque in danger.

Quarrel is never appreciable, especially it is more heinous in religious affairs.
