Abstract

Waqf issues have been widely discussed in various kitabs of traditional fiqh turath and contemporary fiqh mu'asarah. Both are common sources of references for waqf scholars and researchers. Waqf discussions are commonly focused on its fiqhi definitions, evidences, scope and flexibility in implementation and further development of waqf in contemporary situations. A less uncommon focus of waqf discourse is on major fiqh al-hadith collections that inform the waqf rulings and their significant contributions in guiding and clarifying waqf matters. Imam al-Bukhari`s Sahih al-Bukhari is a magnum opus of hadiths collections that have been oftentimes referred in waqf discourse. Imam al-Bukhari`s al-Jami' al-Sahih al-Musnad min Hadithi Rasulullah wa Sunanih wa Ayyamih, or al-Jami' al-Sahih, or commonly known as Sahih al-Bukhari is evident of his fiqh ijtihad that transcends his lifetime until the present. Through the sahih, Imam al-Bukhari expounded his profound understanding of fiqh in various chapters of the kitab. The Sahih al-Bukhari is renowned for its scholarly and authentic hadith collections. It is a compendium of fiqh al-hadith collated through scientific and stringent analyses of many genuine or sahih hadiths and their sources. It illustrates deep understanding of hadiths and fiqh knowledge known as fiqh al-Bukhari.

“…The doctrinal basis for waqf is often traced to the hadith literature, particularly one narrated by Ibnu Umar, which recounts the episode of Umar ibn Khattab, the second Caliph, and his endeavor to endow his land in Khaibar.

This seminal incident, as revealed by (Suliaman and Yaakob (2019), is frequently cited by Islamic jurists as the cornerstone for waqf practices.…”
