A fresh perspective on Maqasid Waqf and its implications on law and waqf economy

Often researchers mention the purposes of waqf for which a donation is made for a cause or a group of beneficiaries, such as building mosques, creating graveyards, schools, and feeding the hungry, etc. Recently Muslim thinkers have linked the Five Shari’ah Objectives to the waqf, which to an extent are helpful and enlightening.

These works need consolidation and further review, which will be offered in this paper
