Problems of waqf administration and proposals : a study in Malaysia

The main purpose of this paper is to assess the performance of the existing Waqf
administration in Malaysia. This paper first describes the problems of Waqf
administration in Malaysia and then suggests proposals for improvement. Waqf
administration requires new innovative avenues. It also needs to develop a hybrid viable
model for generating more benefits for all involving parties of the society with
sustainability characteristics. It is recognized that there is no ample study in the area of
Waqf. Further, literature is very scanty relating to the Waqf administration. The exiting
studies identify various facets of the Waqf and its administration issue to explore
different aspects of theoretical dimensions and practices.
