[Potential of Waqf Livestock Financing for Micro, Medium and Large Scale Businesses] Potensi Pendekatan Pembiayaan Wakaf Penternakan Berskala Mikro, Sederhana dan Makro

Malaysia is a Muslim majority country with an estimated Muslim population in Malaysia of 20, 192 700 out of the total population in Malaysia. This amount reflects the need for food security including the supply of halal food for the needs of the Muslim community. Malaysia is also the most popular Islamic tourism destination in the global Muslim tourism market due to access of halal food through halal-certified restaurants. However, Malaysia still depends on imports products in various food commodities including rice, milk and dairy products, beef and mutton. Total food imports reached about RM45.4 billion compared to Malaysia's exports just only about RM27 billion leaving a deficit of more than RM18 billion. These imports are expected to increase further but there is still a shortage of supply from local sources in Malaysia. To meet the demand of domestic market, Malaysia needs to formulate a plan to improve the sustainability of food security, including protein sources from cattle and goat farming. In addition, Malaysia has the potential for the development of wakaf land due to having an area of idle wakaf land covering 11,091.82 hectares. Thus, this study aims to examine the suitability of waqf financing approaches that have the potential to be practiced in waqf livestock projects. This study has the potential as an initial proposal to implement a livestock endowment project financing approach to increase the level of food security in Malaysia and reduce dependence on imports of beef and mutton. Malaysia merupakan negara majoriti Muslim dengan anggaran penduduk Muslim di Malaysia sebanyak 20, 192 700 daripada jumlah keseluruhan penduduk yang berada di Malaysia. Jumlah ini menggambarkan keperluan terhadap sekuriti makanan termasuklah bekalan makanan halal untuk keperluan masyarakat Muslim. Malaysia turut merupakan destinasi pelancongan Islam paling popular dalam pasaran pelancongan muslim global yang disebabkan akses kepada makanan halal melalui restoran yang diiktiraf halal. Walaubagaimanapun, Malaysia  bergantung kepada import luar dalam pelbagai komoditi makanan termasuklah beras, susu dan produk tenusu, daging lembu dan daging kambing. Jumlah keseluruhan import makanan  hampir menjangkau RM45.4 bilion berbanding eksport Malaysia ke luar negara hanya RM 27 bilion meninggalkan defisit melebihi RM18 bilion. Jumlah import ini dijangka akan terus meningkat sekiranya masih lagi kekurangan bekalan dari sumber lokal di Malaysia. Bagi memenuhi keperluan makanan domestik, Malaysia perlu merangka pelan untuk meningkatkan kelestarian sekuriti makanan termasuklah sumber protein daripada penternakan lembu dan kambing. Tambahan pula, Malaysia mempunyai potensi untuk pembangunan tanah wakaf berikutan mempunyai keluasan tanah wakaf terbiar merangkumi 11,091.82 hektar. Justeru, kajian ini bertujuan untuk meneliti kesesuaian pendekatan pembiayaan wakaf yang berpotensi dipraktikkan dalam projek wakaf penternakan. Kajian ini berpotensi sebagai cadangan awal untuk mengimplentasikan pendekatan pembiayaan projek wakaf penternakan untuk meningkatkan tahap sekuriti makanan di Malaysia dan mengurangkan pergantungan terhadap import daging lembu dan kambing dari luar negara.  &nbsp

Wakaf pendidikan tinggi sebagai sumber penjanaan dana dalam kerangka ekonomi Islam di Malaysia / Baterah Alias … [et al.]

Wakaf pendidikan tinggi penting bagi membiayai pendidikan pelajar yang kurang mampu untuk meneruskan pengajian serta membiayai perbelanjaan pengurusan universiti. Pada masa kini, wakaf pendidikan tinggi menjadi topik utama Kementerian Pengajian Tinggi sebagai suatu mekanisme pembiayaan perbelanjaan mengurus universiti tanpa perlu bergantung sepenuhnya kepada pihak kerajaan. Objektif kajian ini ialah untuk menganalisis institusi pendidikan tinggi di Malaysia yang menggunakan wakaf sebagai salah satu mekanisme penjanaan aset untuk menjalankan operasinya dengan mengambil Universiti Islam Malaysia (UIM) sebagai model kajian. Kajian menggunakan metode kajian perpustakaan dan lapangan untuk mendapatkan data primer dan sekunder. Kajian lapangan menggunakan instrument temubual dengan responden yang terlibat secara langsung dengan pengurusan tertinggi Universiti Islam Malaysia (UIM). Dapatan kajian menunjukkan Universiti Islam Malaysia (UIM) berjaya menjadikan wakaf sebagai aset penjanaan pendapatan dalam operasinya bagi melestarikan pendidikan tinggi di Malaysia. UIM menguruskan dana wakaf melalui hasil sewaan, sumbangan daripada Majlis Agama Islam dan badan korporat. Justeru, pelaksanaan wakaf pendidikan tinggi yang dilaksanakan di Universiti Islam Malaysia (UIM) boleh dijadikan sebagai model kepada institusi pendidikan lain dalam usaha membangunkan harta wakaf serta menjana pendapatan demi kelestarian wakaf pendidikan di Malaysia

Maslahah sebagai satu justifikasi terhadap keharusan sambutan Maulidur Rasul di Malaysia / Azri bin Bhari

Sambutan maulidur rasul telah dilaksanakan sekian lama oleh umat Islam di Malaysia walaupun ianya tidak dikaitkan dengan perbuatan para sahabat, tabi‘in dan ulama silam. Namun dakwaan sesetengah golongan yang mengaitkan sambutan maulidur rasul dengan bid‘ah menyebabkan timbulnya polemik yang berpanjangan di kalangan umat Islam sehingga kini. Masing-masing menggunakan hujah tersendiri berdasarkan kefahaman yang dibawa oleh kumpulan tertentu. Senario ini memerlukan kajian yang khusus melibatkan pemakaian instrumen usul al-fiqh iaitu maslahah sebagai justifikasi sebenar dalam menilai adakah sambutan maulidur rasul bercanggah dengan kehendak syarak atau tidak. Melalui kajian ini, beberapa pandangan pro dan kontra terhadap keharusan sambutan maulidur rasul cuba dianalisis secara mendalam. Justeru itu, pemahaman terhadap maslahah dalam ilmu usul al-fiqh cuba diaplikasikan dalam menilai kedudukan sebenar keharusan sambutan maulidur rasul. Metodologi kajian ini menggunakan kaedah penyelidikan perpustakaan di dalam mengumpul data berkaitan. Seterusnya penganalisaan data dibuat melalui kaedah induktif, deduktif dan komparatif. Setelah dibuat analisis mendalam terhadap permasalahan ini, tidak ada suatu dalil pun yang jelas menegah sambutan maulidur rasul. Bahkan secara umum terdapat dalil yang mengharuskan sambutan ini diadakan. Kajian ini menunjukkan bahawa bid‘ah dalalah yang disandarkan kepada sambutan maulidur rasul oleh sesetengah pihak, tidak diasaskan kepada metodologi hukum yang jelas. Oleh itu, keharusan terhadap sambutan maulidur rasul boleh dikaitkan dengan maslahah mursalah

‘Urf in Traditional Islamic Built Environment Practices

Muslim legal scholars recognize the 'urf's importance as a source of law and societal behaviour mechanism. However, due to a lack of understanding, modern practices disregard the significance of 'urf. Instead, they replicate practices from other countries, which are incompatible with local requirements. Therefore, this paper will explore the application of ‘urf and lessons from the traditional Islamic built environment. This qualitative study gathered the data from journals and books, while the analysis was accomplished via content analysis. The result found that urf plays an essential role to lay the groundwork for a better Islamic built environment in future. Keywords: ‘Urf; built environment; fiqh, traditions eISSN: 2398-4287 © 2020.
