PELAKSANAAN PENYALURAN WAKAF UANG DALAM UPAYA PEMBERDAYAAN EKONOMI MASYARAKAT PADA BADAN WAKAF INDONESIA PERWAKILAN PROVINSI RIAU

Abstract

Cash waqf is a legal act of waqf by separating or donating a portion of
one's money to be used for a specified period of time or forever in accordance
with the interests of the waqif used for the purposes of worship or welfare of the
people according to Sharia law. In its implementation, there was a delay in the
distribution of cash waqf funds raised to be used to improve the welfare of the
people. Currently, the Indonesian Waqf Agency (BWI) representative for Riau
province is facing difficulties in managing and introducing cash waqf to the
public. The community does not see the real results of cash waqf and does not
understand the concept and existence of cash waqf, even though cash waqf has the
potential to improve people's well-being. The aim of writing this thesis is firstly to
find out the implementation of cash waqf distribution in an effort to strengthen the
people's economy at the BWI representative of Riau province, secondly to find out
the obstacles and efforts in the implementation of cash waqf distribution in an
effort to strengthen the people's economy at BWI Representative of Riau Province.
This research is classified as empirical legal research, namely research
into the effectiveness of law, how law functions in society. This study was
conducted at the BWI Representative Office of Riau Province, while the
population and sample were waqf and waqf management and development
divisions related to the issues studied in this study, the data sources used were
primary data and secondary data, data collection techniques in this study
consisted of interviews and literature review, after the data were collected and
then analyzed to draw conclusions.
The results of the investigation can be concluded: First, the BWI
representative of Riau Province is still in the fundraising stage and has been
deposited with the Sharia Financial Institution Receiving Money Waqf. Second,
Cash waqf cannot be distributed because there is no Sharia Guarantee Institution
as guarantor or supervisor over the principal amount of the waqf to be managed.
Efforts made are the existence of a governor's circular. The author's suggestion
is, first, that BWI immediately distributes the benefits of cash waqf. Second, there
are regulations regarding the procedures for managing and developing cash waqf
from the Sharia Guarantee Institution's side.
