Abstract

The purpose of this essay is to examine the community's opinions about cash waqf, its regulations, and its rules in relation to fiqh. One option available to Muslims in Banda Aceh City for allocating funds for worship is cash waqf. On a practical level, however, society is still unaware that cash waqf exists, and academics continue to hold differing views at the fiqh level. This is why a legislative method and a conceptual approach were used in the writing of this study. According to the study's findings, one type of transportable waqf is cash waqf. Classical and modern academics continue to disagree on the constitutionality of the legislation from a fiqh standpoint. The Waqf Law, Government Regulations Implementing the Waqf Law, Minister of Religious Affairs Regulations, and BWI Regulations are among the legal provisions in Indonesia that have made cash waqf acceptable. When it comes to Aceh, Qanun Baitul Mal is where monetary waqf is managed. In reality, certain Acehnese citizens, particularly those in Banda Aceh City, are aware of the cash waqf regulations, while others are not yet aware of them. Although Banda Aceh City residents are generally lenient and accept financial waqf, socialization initiatives by associated organizations are thought to be underutilized. Therefore, there must be a concerted effort to maximize community socialization and cash waqf product branding. Cash waqf requires a particular rule in the form of a qanun, which is an extension of the current Qanun Baitul Mal.

Abstract

This article aims to analyse the management of waqf by institutional trustees at the Almuslim University Foundation in Bireuen from the perspective of Law No. 41 of 2004 on Waqf and fiqh muamalah. This study employs a qualitative method with a legal-empirical approach to evaluate the alignment between normative regulations and the practice of managing productive endowments at the institutional level. The findings reveal that the Almuslim University Foundation in Bireuen has fulfilled its role as a nazir by endeavouring to develop endowment assets, such as constructing educational facilities and engaging in productive collaborations. However, this management still faces several challenges, including the lack of integrated financial reporting, the dominant use of endowment proceeds for consumptive financing without a long-term capitalization strategy, and the risk of legal uncertainty regarding the status of assets derived from management, which could trigger administrative disputes. These conditions pose a potential threat to the accountability and sustainability of the social and economic functions of endowments. Therefore, institutional capacity building, enhancing the professionalism of administrators, improving digital-based reporting systems, and optimising oversight by the Indonesian Waqf Board are necessary. These findings underscore that the implementation of professional and transparent waqf governance principles is key to making waqf a sustainable and accountable instrument for community empowerment.
