No financial figures for either endowment body are reported; a widely cited figure describing an annual government allocation to each endowment board could not be verified directly, since the United States Department of State's religious freedom reporting site returned a technical error on every attempt (five separate fetches across the current and two archived domains).CitationPublisherWell-attestedGulf NewsPublication YearWell-attested2026URLWell-attestedhttps://gulfnews.com/world/gulf/bahrain/bahrain-establishes-unified-council-to-oversee-sunni-and-jaafari-endowments-1.500554632Source TypeWell-attestednewsCross-Tradition ConnectionsAssociated WithSunni, Denominations Well-attested This source names Sunni directly: "to unify oversight of the kingdom's Sunni and Jaafari waqf endowments."Source Bahrain Establishes Unified Council Of Islamic Endowments To Oversee Sunni And Jaafari Waqf Affairs (Gulf News, 2026)tier 2Claims Backed By This Source (40 claims)This source backs 40 claims across the atlas.
