The Collection of Multidisciplinary Waqf Studies II: Debates in Waqf Management and Finance

Foundations (waqf /pl. awqaf) have been used for many purposes and services in almost all societies throughout history. Today, waqf is still an important social institution. However, evolving conditions have created different issues regarding foundations and require reevaluation and examination of awqaf from a contemporary perspective. This is only possible by classifying the issues related to the waqf and analyzing them under specific headings. In this context, this volume, the first one of the Collection of Multidisciplinary Waqf Studies, is dedicated to the debates on waqf management and finance. This volume, Debates in Waqf Management and Finance, the first of the Collection of Multidisciplinary Waqf Studies, includes various discussions on the good governance of awqaf and its relationship with finance through past and current waqf practices in different countries, such as Türkiye, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, and Morocco. The chapters based on in-depth analyses of literature, case studies, and interviews make this volume valuable and unique.
