Abstract

This study aimed to explore the significant role played by Islamic waqf in advancing healthcare services as part of the broader effort to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) introduced by the United Nations, particularly SDG 3 on good health and well-being. The purpose of this exploration is simply to analyze how waqf functions as a sustainable financial mechanism in funding hospitals, supporting medical studies, and delivering essential health services to marginalized populations in Muslim communities. Adopting a descriptive-analytical methodology, this study draws on primary and secondary data sources, including waqf management reports, government publications, health policy documents, and peer-reviewed academic literature. Furthermore, case studies from Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Turkey were used to show practical implementations of health-related waqf initiatives. The obtained results showed that waqf significantly contributed to addressing healthcare gaps, reducing inequality, and promoting equitable access to medical services. During the course of the investigation, Waqf institutions were found to embody Islamic principles of stewardship (istikhlāf) and reform (iṣlāḥ), offering a faith-based approach that corresponded with contemporary development frameworks. This study presents an original contribution through its integration of Islamic legal thought and global development paradigms, culminating in a conceptual model for health-waqf correspondence with SDGs targets. The obtained results showed that revitalizing health-focused waqf initiatives can strengthen public health systems in Muslim-majority communities, thereby providing an ethical, culturally resonant, and economically viable path toward sustainable development.

Abstract

Halal certification is a central institutional mechanism for strengthening Muslim consumer confidence in restaurants and food premises within Brunei Darussalam. Although halal logo is widely perceived as an assurance of lawful consumption, a critical legal and juristic question of whether halal certification requires the restaurant owner to be a Muslim remains. Therefore, this study aims to examine the practical implementation of halal certification for non-Muslim-owned restaurants in Brunei Darussalam relative to State Mufti opinions and the juristic reasoning attributed to Imam al-Nawawī within the Shāfiʿī legal tradition. A library-based method was used with a qualitative design. Data were collected from classical fiqh texts, contemporary fatwa, national legislation, administrative regulations, and relevant policy documents. The collected materials were then analyzed through content analysis to identify normative arguments, regulatory standards, and points of legal tension. The results showed that Brunei current administrative practice allows halal certification for restaurants owned by non-Muslims under specific procedural and supervisory conditions. However, a significant inconsistency was found between the operational policy and the State Mufti juristic position, particularly concerning ownership, authority over food preparation, and the reliability of compliance. By integrating regulatory analysis with classical jurisprudence, the results contribute to the broader discourse on halal governance, Islamic legal authority, and contemporary policy implementation in Muslim-majority states. In conclusion, this study underscores the need for clearer regulatory harmonization between state fatwa institutions and halal certification agencies to ensure legal coherence and sustained public trust.
