Supporting Indonesian Online Waqf as Islamic Economics Source: Waqif Behaviour Approach in Java Island

Indonesia has great potential for asset waqf and cash waqf. Technological advancements show significant growth through fintech platforms for donations, zakat, and waqf. However, the magnitude of the potential of waqf and the advancement of financial technology is not in line with its realisation; this is a fundamental problem in Indonesia. The study aims to analyse the support of online waqf, an approach to waqf behaviour in Indonesia, by examining the influence of waqf literacy, trust, and attitude on behavioural intentions and behaviour of users who pay online cash waqf with age as a moderating variable. The study used a quantitative method with a survey approach to waqif in Indonesia, totalling 242 respondents through purposive sampling domiciled on the island of Java. Data analysis uses a structural equations model with the partial least squares (SEM-PLS). The study found that waqf literacy, beliefs, and attitudes have a significant relationship and a positive influence on behavioural intentions and user behaviour. Age has a significant impact on moderating the relationship between literacy and behavioural intentions. Behavioural intentions are significantly related to online waqf user behaviour. The implications of the research are increasing the support of literacy, trust and attitude to increase the potential for the realisation of online waqf in Indonesia, especially on the island of Java. The waqif behaviour approach strengthens the literature on Muslim social contributions.

Problems of Waqf Management in Indonesia: A Review of Positive Law

The implementation of waqf has been happening in many regions in Indonesia. The essence of waqf as a form of worship that brings great rewards and community welfare should be managed properly by professional nadzirs, not the other way around.

This research uses a normative juridical approach that is descriptive analytical by using various theories in legal science related to the process of implementing waqf within the framework of positive legal development in Indonesia. The problems of waqf management in Indonesia so far have been caused by the lack of socialization about waqf by a less aggressive government, waqf management and management that is not in accordance with the rules, limited human resources (nadzir) who meet the requirements and weak control systems in supervision to be less effective in its application in society. The problems that exist so far show that they arise from external factors, namely legal subjects who have not experienced limitations and sufficient knowledge in managing waqf properly and correctly according to the rules of law and Islamic religious law. For this reason, it is necessary to supervise the management of waqf by the government and society so that strict supervision is expected that waqf in Indonesia can be managed properly so that the results can be utilized to empower the quality of life of the people.

Cash Waqf Management for Education: Challenges, Solutions and Strategies

In Indonesia, the potential for funding educational initiatives through the empowerment of cash waqf is considerable, with estimates reaching up to IDR 120 trillion annually. As of March 2022, cash waqf collections amounted to IDR 1.4 trillion, a notable increase from the IDR 855 billion accumulated between 2018 and 2021. Despite this growth, cash waqf collections remain far below their potential, limiting their impact on educational empowerment. While various researchers have proposed strategies to address these obstacles, there is a paucity of research on an ideal model for empowering education through cash waqf in Indonesia. This study aims to develop a model for the empowerment of cash waqf specifically for educational programs in Indonesia. The research utilizes the Analytic Network Process (ANP) methodology, aided by Super Decision software, which is a decision-making method based on priority scales. The study conducts a synthesis analysis of problems, solutions, and strategies related to this issue. The findings indicate that both internal and external challenges affect the empowerment of cash waqf in education, with management being the primary concern. Relevant strategies include waqf policy enhancement, nazhir (waqf managers) training and empowerment, strengthening educational programs, and promoting cash waqf. An investment-based model, coupled with partnerships, scholarships, and educational initiatives, offers insights into the management of cash waqf, from collection processes to empowerment within the educational sector.

Analisis Cash Waqf Linked Deposit (CWLD) Perspektif Empat Mazhab

Cash waqf in Indonesia has great potential to improve community welfare. However, the realization is still not optimal. After previously OJK developed a cash waqf product integrated with sukuk (CWLS). Now OJK is reissuing a cash waqf product in collaboration with a deposit product or called cash waqf linked deposit (CWLD), as a deposit-based waqf innovation, offering a solution by integrating the social and commercial functions of sharia banking. However, there are no regulations governing cash waqf linked deposit (CWLD) itself, the implementation of CWLD can be different depending on the Islamic law adopted. In Islam there are four main schools of thought, each of which has a view on the concept of cash waqf and investment. Therefore, there is a need for studies related to CWLD analysis from an Islamic legal perspective. The research method used is library research. The source of data obtained is primary data sourced from books, journals, legal articles and other research results. The data collection technique in this research is by collecting literature that is relevant to this research. The results of the research obtained are that there is difference of opinion from four mazhab of thought regarding cash waqf linked deposit (CWLD). The Hanafi Mazhab and Maliki Mazhab allow it, while the Syafi’i Mazhab and Hanbali Mazhab do not allow cash waqf linked deposit (CWLD)
