This book explores how philanthropy is perceived and practiced in a predominantly Muslim society. It is the first academic quantification of philanthropic giving and volunteering using a representative sample of the Egyptian population, providing the reader with a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the state of philanthropy in Egypt. The book discusses traditional and religious philanthropic mechanisms and provides a thorough explanation of the waqf system, how it is perceived today, and how it could support innovation. Furthermore, as a solid direct product of the research embodied in the creation of a community foundation, it discusses reviving and modernizing the concept of waqf, thus elaborating an example of how academic studies may be employed to create proto-types for learning and calculated action.

Waqfs (pious endowments) long held a crucial place in the political, economic, and social life of the Islamic world. Waqfs were major sources of education, health care, and employment; they shaped the city and contributed to the upkeep of religious edifices. They constituted a major resource, and their status was at stake in repeated struggles to impose competing definitions of legitimacy and community. Closer examination of the diverse legal, institutional, and practical aspects of waqfs in different regions and communities is necessary to a deeper understanding of their dynamism and resilience. This volume, which evolved from papers delivered at the 2005 American University in Cairo Annual History Seminar, offers a meticulous set of studies that fills a gap in our knowledge of waqf and its uses.

Islamic foundations (waqf, pl. awqāf) have been an integral part of Yemeni society both for managing private wealth and as a legal frame for charity and public infrastructure. This book focuses on four socially grounded fields of legal knowledge: fiqh, codification, individual waqf cases, and everyday waqf-related knowledge. It combines textual analysis with ethnography and seeks to understand how Islamic law is approached, used, produced, and validated in selected topics of waqf law where there are tensions between ideals and pragmatic rules. The study analyses central Zaydī fiqh works such as the Sharḥ al-azhār cluster, imamic decrees, fatwās, and waqf documents, mostly from Zaydī, northern Yemen. For the Arabic edition, please see here.

Background 1. In the Arabic language, the word waqf or habs means preventing something from movement. In Shari’ah terminology, waqf refers to making a property invulnerable to disposition that leads to a transfer of ownership, and donating the usufruct, or the fruit of the asset, to beneficiaries. Waqf is permissible in Shari’ah, as has been emphasized by the Sunnah (Prophetic traditions) and Ijma’ (consensus of Fuqaha). Waqf is also a binding commitment; therefore, the declaring of a property as waqf would simultaneously deprive its donating owner of the right of ownership.1 2. There are several types of waqf, the most important being charitable waqf (al-waqf al-khayri), family waqf (al-waqf al-ahli), joint waqf (al-waqf al-mushtarak), and self-dedicated waqf (al-waqf’ala al-nafs). The basic elements of waqf include: the form of the donation, the waqif (the donor), the beneficiary, and the donated property. Waqf is permissible in the form of real estate along with permanent furniture and fittings, movable assets, money, shariah compliant shares and sukuk. Regulators and Supervisors will observe all of the regulations, including Shari’ah-related regulation, to ensure the compliance of all related parties. 3. The core principles of waqf, as part of Islamic finance, embrace the principle of altruism, which promotes or maximizes the benefits to others, inclusively for all humans and living beings. The principles emphasize the importance of maintaining or keeping public confidence high since the system is fully dependent upon the public’s propensity to donate. 4. A well-organized waqf system supported by information technology and compatible with other programs can be expected to serve as an additional vehicle of fund mobilization to support and significantly contribute to government economic development programs, particularly to programs for poverty reduction and comprehensive human development. 5. The institution of waqf has evolved over time and across different regions. Most regions have legal systems that reflect a traditional concern for preservation as captured in the three principles of perpetuity (assets/purpose), inalienability, and irreversibility. Contemporary scholars take a lenient view and permit temporary awqaf as well as reversibility under certain conditions. This waqf core principles duly acknowledges that there are different school of thoughts related to the law and the implementation of awqaf. The Waqf Core Principles (WCP) have thus been structured around certain basic building blocks focusing on “benevolence” and “mutual benefit” while also seeking to harmonize alternative viewpoints. Technical Considerations 6. The Waqf Core Principles (WCP) provide a clear positioning of the awqaf sector within the economic structure, especially in terms of providing direct socio-economic benefits (utilization of the corpus of awqaf in the form of fixed or non-fixed assets) and the contribution of low-cost financing from the returns on investment of the corpus of awqaf. 7. The Waqf Core Principles (WCP) provide clear and standardized systematics on the supporting elements of the worldwide-applicable waqf system. This waqf core principles is also positioned so as to ensure compatibility with, and the mutual recognition of, other financial sector prudential standards, as well as the latest regulatory standards that promote governance aspects. 8. The Waqf Core Principles (WCP) place the operational standards and supervision of the waqf sector at the same prudential level as that of other financial sectors. Operational standards are prepared to consider the risk-adjusted measures based on managed asset classes and the optimization of benefits for the community. 9. The Waqf Core Principles (WCP) dissect the elements of supervision related to the operationalization of the waqf system into a systematic arrangement structure as follows: a. Legal foundation; b. Waqf supervision; c. Good waqf governance; d. Risk management; e. Shari’ah governance. 10. This is the main reference document for the generation of various technical notes that cover specific technical aspects of waqf arrangement. 11. This is the main reference document for measuring the performance of waqf management while accommodating the technical and operational issues that different jurisdictions may involve. 12. This waqf core principles allows scope for the commingling of endowment funds with other philanthropy-driven funds while underlining the following: a. divine motivation; and b. the restriction of a portfolio only to halal businesses; c. the underlying physical asset. 13. The core principles underscore the importance of financial technology applications in waqf management.

The present book investigates three short late Mamluk treatises about land properties (waqf) in the Palestinian city of Hebron, which the prophet Muhammad granted to Tamīm al-Darī. The treatise entitled Ḍawʾ al-sārī li-maʿrifat ḫabar Tamīm al-Dārī by al-Maqrīzī (d. 845/1442) is the core of the book. It is edited here for the first time on the sole basis of the copy corrected by the author. A facsimile of the manuscript is also provided at the end of the book. In order to illuminate the discourse on property rights and donation that prevailed in the Mamluk period and al-Maqrīzī’s position, two additional treatises dealing with the same issue are included. The first is al-Ǧawāb al-ǧalīl ʿan ḥukm balad al-Ḫalīl by Ibn Ḥaǧar al-ʿAsqalānī (d. 852/1448). The second is al-Faḍl al-ʿamīm fī iqṭāʿ Tamīm by al-Suyūṭī (911/1505). The three texts are fully translated and annotated and preceded by a thorough introduction.

Waqfs, or religious endowments, have long been at the very center of daily Islamic life, establishing religious, cultural, and welfare institutions and serving as a legal means to keep family property intact through several generations. In this book R. D. McChesney focuses on the major Muslim shrine at Balkh--once a flourishing city on an ancient trade route in what is now northern Afghanistan--and provides a detailed study of the political, economic, and social conditions that influenced, and were influenced by, the development of a single religious endowment. From its founding in 1480 until 1889, when the Afghan government took control of it, the waqf at Balkh was a formidable economic force in a financially dynamic region, particularly during those times when the endowment's sacred character and the tax privileges it acquired gave its managers considerable financial security. This study sheds new light on the legal institution of waqf within Muslim society and on how political conditions affected the development of socio-religious institutions throughout Central Asia over a period of four hundred years.
