| description | Philanthropic endowment or wqaf represents a form of long lasting charity with
potential profits or benefits meant for the spiritual and economical improvement of the
society. This study attempts to revisit the concept of waqf by analysing its literal and
technical meanings, its legitimacy in the light of the Qur’an and Sunnah. It also analysis
some classical and contemporary views pertaining its conceptualization and traces its
origin in the Islamic heritage. Istibdal, exchange of the waqf property, as a means of
viability of waqf property and its relevant challenges are also dealt with. This paper is
based on library research and use qualitative method. Having analysed, the relevant
data the authors arrived at the conclusion that future efforts need to be made to develop
the concept of waqf based on maqasid shari’ah while in tandem need to develop a
universal and comprehensive vision of shari’ah based on its objectives. Both concepts
must be revisited, reviewed, and revised to restore the dynamism of the concept of waqf
hence, making it an effective tool for alleviation of the poverty and the distribution of
wealth among the different sections of the society in equitable manner. |
