Perbandingan Regulasi, Kelembagaan, dan Pengelolaan Wakaf Produktif: Studi Kasus Mesir dan Indonesia

Comparison of Regulations, Institutions, and Management of Productive Waqf: A Case Study of Egypt and Indonesia

Abstract

This study discusses the comparison of regulations, institutions, and management of waqf asset funds in Egypt and Indonesia. Waqf, as an important instrument in Islamic economic development, has different management in both countries despite the same goal, namely empowering the community through optimizing waqf assets. In Egypt, management is centralized under the Ministry of Waqf, while in Indonesia it is more decentralized with the main role of the Indonesian Waqf Board (BWI) and nazhir. Regulations in Egypt focus on waqf of fixed assets such as land and property, while Indonesia is more developed with the regulation of cash waqf. Both adopt the concept of productive waqf, although with different approaches. This study emphasizes the importance of harmonizing sharia principles and national laws in waqf management to create sustainability and social welfare. The conclusion shows that professional and transparent waqf management can increase public trust and strengthen the contribution of waqf to community development.
