Abstract

Waqf is indeed an Islamic practice aimed at providing welfare to the community. This practice has always been pioneered by Muslims in every territory of Islamic rule while the waqif is not required to be Muslim. However, the number of waqf performed by non-Muslims during the Ottoman rule was very significant either to their religious group or given to general benefit. Therefore, the discussion aims to examine the concept & implementation related to waqf of the non-Muslims that was recorded in the Ottoman era. This study uses the literature review method in collecting data from various authoritative sources and then analyzed using a thematic approach. This research identified that the practice of waqf by non-Muslims in Ottoman rule was implemented and recorded same as waqf performed by Muslims. Non-Muslims perform waqf for their religious purposes and public welfare however, there are various issues involving waqf land on which non-Muslim houses of worship are built. In conclusion, the exposure related to concept and the implementation of non-Muslim waqf is seen as important in providing input and knowledge to the general public in fact, it helps the waqf management in examining this situation if any non-Muslims want to practise it.
