NORAMTIVE ANALYSIS OF THE PILLARS AND CONDITIONS OF WAKAF IN POSITIVE LAW IN INDONESIA
Keywords:
Pillars of Waqf , Waqf Conditions , Classical Islamic LawAbstract
This study aims to analyze in depth the pillars and conditions of waqf in the perspective of classical Islamic law and its implementation in the positive legal system in Indonesia. This study uses a juridical-normative approach with a literature review method, through tracing primary legal materials such as Law Number 41 of 2004, as well as fiqh literature from four main schools of thought. The analysis is carried out qualitatively with an interpretive approach to legal norms and the reality of practice in society. The results of the study show that the four pillars of waqf (wakif, mawquf bih, mawquf 'alayh, and ṣighah) have been adopted into the national legal system, but their implementation faces significant obstacles. Problems such as low legal literacy of the community, minimal capacity of nadzir, and overlapping administration are the main obstacles. Comparison with waqf practices in countries such as Egypt, Malaysia, and the UK also shows the need for institutional innovation and cross-sectoral approaches. This study provides an important contribution in proposing a more adaptive reformulation of national waqf policy that is oriented towards maqāṣid al-syarī'ah. Thus, waqf is not only an instrument of worship, but also a motor of sustainable and equitable socio-economic development
