However, in fact movable endowments such as cash waqf (money) has long been practiced by Muslims such as in the Umayyad and Abbasid dynasties, only not as popular as land or building endowments. At present, along with the development of public understanding of the practice of Islamic philanthropy, endowments, especially cash waqf, are directed towards the development and empowerment of the economy, for the sake of fulfilling society economic welfare.Keywords: Cash Waqf, Muamalah Activities, Society Economic Welfare.Wakaf merupakan salah satu kegiatan muamalah yang memiliki dimensi spiritual, sosial, dan ekonomi.

Namun, sebenarnya wakaf barang bergerak seperti wakaf tunai (uang) telah lama dipraktikkan oleh umat Islam seperti di masa dinasti Umayah dan Abbasiyah, hanya tidak sepopuler wakaf tanah ataupun bangunan.
