| Summary: | There are many undeveloped and unproductive waqf land that became idle due to the lack of financial capital. On top of that, previous research had mentioned the mismanagement, lack of experience either internal or external issues as challenges to the effective waqf development for public goods. The Waqf manager is responsible for managing the waqf assets to provide the beneficiaries with the best benefits. Therefore, Al-Tawriq Istibdaliah is an instrument for waqf assets liquidation that can be used by the waqf manager to solve unproductive, idle and lack of funds waqf assets. Thus, the main aim of this study is to explore the challenges of Al-Tawriq Istibdaliah application among waqf managers. There are three main objectives in this study. The first is to describe opinions of the concept of Al-Tawriq Istibdaliah among waqf managers. The second is to assess the potential implementation of Al-Tawriq Istibdaliah for waqf assets in Malaysia. The third objective is to identify the challenges of its implementation in Malaysia. Data were collected using interview methods to assess possible challenges in implementing the Al-Tawriq Istibdaliah instrument. This study aims to identify critical challenges in the implementation of Al-Tawriq Istibdaliah instruments on undeveloped waqf assets. Therefore, this study used a qualitative approach to address the research questions. The interview text was analysed based on the feedback and possible challenges in implementing the Al-Tawriq Istibdaliah instrument. Waqf managers from four MAINs were interviewed. Interviews were transcribed, translated, and analysed using ATLAS.ti software version 8. After identifying the main challenges of implementing Al-Tawriq Istibdaliah, this study found that Al-Tawriq Istibdaliah can be implemented after proving that it exists as an instrument before the Istibdal process. Thus, conceptuality the terminology of Al-Tawriq Istibdaliah is very important because this practice has been implemented but not named in a specific term. Therefore, the significant of this study is the policy implication of Al-Tawriq Istibdaliah as a practical approach in overcoming the problem of unproductive and idle waqf assets among the waqf managers perspectives. Al-Tawriq Istibdaliah is a process that occurs before the Istibdal process begins. As a result of the study, three challenges were identified in the implementation of Al-Tawriq Istibdaliah. First, the lack of awareness among waqf managers about Al-Tawriq Istibdaliah in the Istibdal process and second, in terms of the waqf land management and third, the lack of knowledge on the implementation of Al-Tawriq Istibdaliah. In this regard, the waqf manager needs to understand and identify the challenges before implementing the Al-Tawriq Istibdaliah instrument to develop idle and unproductive waqf assets. Although this study was conducted in selected Islamic Religious Councils, the solution can also be implemented in other waqf institutions. The list of challenges to implementing the comprehensive instrument of Al-Tawriq Istibdaliah has been reviewed and then evaluated by a waqf expert at MAIN. It is an important step that can help overcome challenges and develop good strategies before implementing Al-Tawriq Istibdaliah in the future. |
