“…In every era, various assets and waqf practices have provided space for the ups and downs of waqf development. Waqf is more inclusive than zakat, which has a limited allocation because it allows non-Muslims to be among the beneficiaries (Hoexter, 2002;Jahar, 2019). Furthermore, non-Muslims can also be categorized as donors in the practice of waqf.…”

The development of corporate waqf in Indonesia is relevant in creating an alternative model for the sustainability of waqf benefits and contributing to the national economic growth. This study aims to explore the implementation of Corporate Waqf Core Principles (CWCP), a set of sharia principles for corporate waqf implemented in the growth of waqf in Indonesia. This study uses qualitative research with a specific focus on comparative analysis of the advantages of waqf management at two different institutions that develop corporate waqf, Waqf Board Foundation of Universitas Islam Indonesia (YBW UII) Yogyakarta and Pesantren Tebuireng in Jombang. YBW UII Yogyakarta has developed productive waqf assets and immovable objects through professional and profitable multi-company institutions, ensuring that the waqf’s results expand and the benefits fly. Pesantren Tebuireng, on the other hand, understands the implementation of CWCP in the framework of productive waqf administration and management by conceptualizing the productivity of waqf assets through corporate and institutional management. The two models of waqf management methods ensure that waqf management within the corporate institutional framework is more productive and produces long-term outcomes and benefits. However, there are certain deviations in the implementation of the CWCP which has not used shares as waqf assets. The development of this waqf model in Indonesia can accelerate community economic development. Received: 6 June 2022 / Accepted: 20 August 2022 / Published: 2 September 2022

“…In Bangladesh, the settlement of first-level disputes for mediation and arbitration in the waqf council is mandated, before proceeding to court (Ahmad & Karim, 2019). The purpose of waqf dispute resolution is to allow the community to secure and utilize the assets so that waqf law can be enforced (Jahar, 2019). The settlement of waqf disputes initially used the Islamic law that was common in the community.…”

The research aimed to analyze the land waqf dispute resolution mechanisms in Indonesia and Malaysia to provide the Indonesian government with ideas regarding land waqf dispute resolution laws. The approach adopted was a comparative study that highlights the mechanisms and models of waqf dispute resolution in Indonesia and Malaysia. The results show that the Indonesian waqf dispute resolution mechanism comprises two approaches: juridical and sociological. The juridical approach is based on Waqf Law No. 41 of 2004, Article 62. Meanwhile, the sociological approach is based on local wisdom and policies derived from Islamic law. In comparison, the mechanism for resolving waqf land disputes in Malaysia consists of two routes: the non-litigation channel, which consists of negotiation, mediation, and arbitration, and the litigation path, via the sharia court. In the Malaysian mediation pathway, the mediator and the advocacy institution are State Islamic Religious Councils (SIRCS), assisted by waqf managers and experts. An arbitration mechanism is often chosen because the management of waqf land is, for about 40 percent, associated with business, commerce, industry, and property. The similarities between the two countries are that they are committed to resolving waqf land disputes based on applicable law, the concept of justice, and the desire to protect human rights, minimize expenses, build good relationships after disputes, and provide advocacy for the rescue of the donated land assets.

“…This can be seen from the enactment of the Law on Religious Courts (Undang-Undang Peradilan Agama/ UUPA) in 1989 and the Compilation of Islamic Law (Kompilasi Hukum Islam/KHI) 1991, Law Number 17 of 1999 on Hajj, Law Number 38 of 1999 on Zakat, Law Number 23 of 2011 on Zakat Management, Presidential Instruction Number 3 of 2014 on the Optimization of Zakat Collection. The UUPA and KHI have been used as the basis for judges under the auspices of religious courts throughout Indonesia (Effendi, 1998;Hooker & Lindsey, 2003;Jahar, 2019).…”

This study examines zakat (obligatory charity) as a tax deduction in Aceh. Currently, the existing legal rule stipulates that zakat paid by muzakkī (zakat payers) to the National Zakat Board (BAZNAS) and Zakat Official Institution (LAZ) is deducted from taxable income. However, this rule has not been applied since there is no Government Regulation. This empirical legal study used a statutory approach, analyzing the point of view of legal politics theory. This study concludes that the State and Islamic Law in Aceh are closely related to the political context of Indonesian law. The government regulations from the Old Order to the Reform Era related to Islamic Law or Muslims have been greatly influenced by political configurations. When the configuration is democratic, the legal character embraces democratic values and vice versa. As a result, the legal regulations regarding zakat have not yet been enforced due to the strong political configuration. However, referring to the arguments and logic of legal politics that the government is democratic towards the aspirations in Aceh, the Governmental Regulation Draft/Rancangan Peraturan Pemerintah (RPP) for Zakat as Tax Deduction will strengthen the previous legal rule, stipulating zakat as a tax deduction factor. The unification of zakat and taxes in one legal instrument by the government, which has political and structural authority, will be able to realize justice and economic and social welfare of the community as the primary goal of zakat. AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji zakat sebagai faktor pengurang pajak di Aceh. Berdasarkan aturan hukum yang ada bahwa zakat yang dibayarkan oleh muzaki kepada BAZNAS atau LAZ dikurangkan dari penghasilan kena pajak. Namun sampai saat ini aturan ini belum teraplikasi karena belum ada Peraturan Pemerintah. Kajian ini merupakan studi hukum empiris dengan menggunakan pendekatan perundang-undangan, dianalisis dari sudut teori politik hukum. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa hubungan antara agama, negara, dan hukum Islam di Aceh memiliki kaitan yang erat dengan konteks politik hukum Indonesia secara umum. Aturan pemerintah yang terkait dengan hukum Islam atau umat Islam sejak masa orde lama bahkan sampai reformasi dipengaruhi oleh konfigurasi politik, jika konfigurasinya demokratis maka karakter hukumnya juga demokratis begitu juga sebaliknya. Karena itu, aturan hukum tentang zakat tersebut sampai saat ini masih belum dapat diberlakukan karena kuatnya konfigurasi politik. Mengacu pada argumen dan logika politik hukum, pemerintah bersikap demokratis terhadap aspirasi di Aceh dengan membuat Rancangan Peraturan Pemerintah (RPP) tentang Zakat sebagai Pengurangan Pajak yang akan menguatkan aturan hukum sebelumnya, yaitu zakat sebagai faktor pengurang pajak. Penyatuan zakat dan pajak dalam satu instrumen hukum oleh pemerintah yang memiliki kewenangan politik dan struktural akan dapat mewujudkan keadilan dan kesejahteraan ekonomi dan sosial masyarakat sebagai tujuan utama zakat.
