Aplikasi Model Teori Al-Wilayah: Cadangan Penyelesaian Konflik Perundangan Wakaf di Malaysia

Application of The Al-Wilayah Theory Model: Proposal to Settle Waqf Legislative Conflict in Malaysia

Abstract

Waqf has played a significant role in the development of the ummah. In Malaysia, waqf is also used for worship and community purposes, thereby exposing awareness to perform  waqf. However there is a legal conflict between the State Islamic Religoius Council (SIRC) and those who wish to perform waqf. This raises misunderstandings thus exposing SIRC to negative perceptions among the public. Hence this study examines the waqf legislation in Malaysia as well as recommends the theory of al-wilayah to be applied in the management of waqf. The data were obtained through interview and literature research. The study found that there was a legal conflict in the management of waqf which could potentially tarnish the development of waqf in Malaysia. Nevertheless, all parties can play a role in order to refine the development of waqf which has been established  in the early peroid.

ABSTRAK

Wakaf pernah memainkan peranan signifikan dalam pembangunan ummah. Di Malaysia wakaf turut dimanfaatkan untuk tujuan ibadah dan  kemasyarakatan  sekali gus memperlihatkan kesedaran untuk berwakaf. Namun terdapat konflik perundangan wakaf antara Majlis Agama Islam Negeri (MAIN) dengan pihak yang ingin berwakaf. Ini menimbulkan salah faham sekali gus mendedahkan MAIN kepada tohmahan dan persepsi negatif. Justeru kajian ini meneliti perundangan wakaf di Malaysia selain mencadangkan model teori al-wilayah untuk diaplikasikan dalam pengurusan wakaf. Data kajian diperoleh melalui sesi temu bual dan rujukan literatur yang autentik. Kajian mendapati terdapat konflik perundangan dalam pengurusan wakaf yang berkemungkinan merencatkan perkembangan wakaf di Malaysia. Namun begitu semua pihak boleh memainkan peranan demi menyemarakan  perkembangan wakaf yang pernah cemerlang suatu ketika dahulu.
