Implementation of Arrangements for Ikrar Wakaf Land (AIW) in The Indonesian Waqf Law (Case in Palembang City)

Abstract

Implementation of Waqf Pledge Act (AIW) Arrangements in the Indonesian Waqf Law (Case in Palembang City). This research examines the provision of Land Endowment (Waqf) in Indonesia and its implementation in Palembang City. The aim is to identify obstacles in its implementation while finding solutions to manage the waqf of land to be more productive following the desires of the waqif (waqf Doer). The results of the study find out that the Regulation made by the Directorate General of Islamic Community Guidance Number 75/1978, which regulates the Format and Content of Endowments Pledge, contains weaknesses that may hinder the productivity of waqf of land. This is indicated by the format of the W2 and W3 form models which limit the uses of the waqf of land, giving an interpretation that the nazir (waqf manager) may not add the waqf object to other uses. In the future, the format and the substance of AIW, which become the basis for Nazir in managing the waqf, must be made in such a way that Nazir has the freedom to develop the use of waqf of land more productively by the wishes of the waqif and the Waqf Act. Apart from the weaknesses above, the implementation of the Land endowment (Waqf ) Act in Palembang, especially for the waqf of Mosque, has been running well and productively.
