Abstract

This paper aims to critically examine challenges of the application of temporary waqf in selected states of Malaysia, to establish principles and to suggest new approaches for its implementation. A qualitative methodology was employed to analyse the data through inductive, deductive and field research methods. As for the field research, this study has conducted semi-structured interviews with the Waqf Corporations and Mufti`s Department in the selected states of Malaysia, namely; Selangor, Malacca, Negeri Sembilan and Johor. The result shows that inappropriate procedures of fatwa issuance, unproductive current waqf assets and legal perspective issues are among the challenges in implementing temporary waqf in Malaysia. Thus, this paper proposes that every State’s Waqf Corporations in Malaysia should reassess the existing legal framework of temporary waqf in order to realize its application as an effective solution for the current waqf properties. Finally, the study proposes to establish holistic principles of temporary waqf implementation in Malaysia. هدفت الورقة إلى بيان التحديات التي تواجه تطبيق صيغة الوقف المؤقت في ولايات مختارة في ماليزيا وتحليلها، ثم اقتراح ضوابط شاملة وبعض الصور المستحدثة. اعتمدت الدراسة على المنهج الاستقرائي والمنهج التحليلي، وكذلك الدراسة الميدانية بإجراء مقابلات شخصية بطريقة المقابلة غير المقننة مع ناظري الأوقاف والمفتين في الولايات المختارة وهي: ولاية سلانجور، وولاية ملاقا، وولاية نيجري سيمبيلان، وولاية جوهر. من أهم النتائج التي توصل إليها البحث أن التحديات التي تواجه تطبيق صيغة الوقف المؤقت في الولايات المختارة تتكون من: تحدي المذهب المعتمد، وتحدي القانون المعمول به، وكذلك تحدي ظروف الأموال الموقوفة. تقترح الورقة تشجيع هيئات الأوقاف لكل ولاية في ماليزيا على تطبيق الوقف المؤقت لأنه قد يكون حلاً فعالاً لمشكلة اقتصار الوقف على الوقف العام، وتوصي بتحديد ضوابط شاملة لتفعيل الوقف المؤقت في هذا البلد.
