An Empirical Investigation on Integrated Waqf Governance in Malaysian Waqf Institutions

This study explores the current integrated waqf governance practices in waqf institutions in Malaysia. The questionnaires were distributed to the administrators of 11 waqf institutions in Peninsular Malaysia to measure the level of accountability, transparency, and fairness practices in managing the waqf. The descriptive results indicated that transparency, accountability, and fairness are crucial and reliable determinants of enhancing waqf governance. Consequently, it implies that the success of waqf management significantly benefits the nations. The findings of this study are enlightened to strengthen the administration of waqf practices that may restore the public's confidence to support such practices.
