Inovasi Keuangan Introduction The implementation and development of Cash Waqf-Linked Sukuk (CWLS) face several challenges and potential risks that must be carefully addressed to ensure their effectiveness. One of the primary obstacles is the limited public awareness and understanding of CWLS, which impedes its widespread adoption and optimal utilization. 1 A second major challenge lies in the areas of governance, regulation, and legal infrastructure. Establishing a robust and transparent governance structure, along with a comprehensive regulatory framework, is essential to ensure compliance with Islamic financial principles. In addition, the scarcity of distribution partners and qualified nadzir (Islamic trustee. , coupled with low levels of financial and religious literacy, hinders the development and dissemination of CWLS products. 3 Another significant barrier Rozaq Muhammad Yasin.

The emergence of Cash Waqf-Linked Sukuk (CWLS) represents a significant innovation in the integration of Islamic philanthropic principles with contemporary financial instruments. While the concept of waqf has historically served as a foundational mechanism for sustainable social welfare in Islamic societies, its fusion with sukuk, a modern Islamic capital market tool introduces both promising opportunities and complex challenges. Chief among these is the need to ensure rigorous Sharia compliance while also developing an operational framework that supports both financial sustainability and administrative This study, therefore, seeks to analyze the structural components of CWLS and explore their implications for Islamic finance, with the aim of contributing to a deeper understanding of how traditional Islamic legal and ethical principles can inform the design of innovative financial solutions for contemporary socio-economic development. The application of Cash Waqf-Linked Sukuk (CWLS) has been the subject of extensive scholarly investigation, with particular emphasis on its potential contributions to economic recovery, social welfare, and national development. Numerous studies conducted in Malaysia and Indonesia have explored the feasibility of CWLS, identifying key issues, challenges, and future prospects. Some research has specifically analyzed the role of CWLS as a tool for national economic recovery in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting its potential to support initiatives such as IndonesiaAos National Economic Recovery Program (PEN). 6 In addition, several studies have examined the historical foundations and regulatory frameworks of Sharia-compliant financial practices dating back to the Islamic Kingdom era, assessing their relevance to the contemporary implementation of retail CWLS in Indonesia. Moreover, the viability of adopting CWLS within MalaysiaAos Islamic financial institutions has been explored in the context of existing legal and regulatory structures.

These studies underscore the potential of CWLS to facilitate economic empowerment and provide innovative financial solutions for the MSME sector. Another area of research has examined institutional investorsAo attitudes toward CWLS, offering valuable insights into their perceptions, behavioral tendencies, and investment considerations. 9 In addition, a systematic literature review has been conducted to assess the scope of CWLS-related studies within Indonesian universities, helping to identify key gaps in the existing body of 10 Aufa, for instance, explored the potential of CWLS through crowdfunding-based securities in Indonesia, thereby contributing to the understanding of alternative Sharia-compliant financing mechanisms. Despite these contributions, a notable gap remains in the literature concerning the ideal implementation of CWLS in accordance with Islamic law. While current research extensively addresses the implementation, potential benefits, and challenges of CWLS, comprehensive studies on its legal characterizationAiparticularly its position as a hybrid contractAiare still limited. Humaidi briefly addressed the contractual structure of CWLS but focused primarily on its linkage to mudarabah contracts, emphasizing the distinctiveness of this arrangement. Fadhil and Nurbalqis analyzed CWLS from the perspective of Maqasid al-ShariAoah, stressing the importance of aligning contract types with Sharia objectives. 12 Meanwhile. Lailatullailia et al. centered their study on the role of Islamic banks in managing CWLS SWR001, highlighting the necessity of sound governance practices.

Consequently, further research is required to explore this dimension in greater depth. In particular, applying Al-Khatib Al-SharbiniAos Tafriq al-Sufqah theory to CWLS is increasingly pertinent for evaluating its Sharia compliance. The theory's emphasis on the separation and clarity of contractual agreements is especially relevant in the context of complex financial instruments that integrate multiple contract types into a single structure,14 This issue becomes particularly significant in the context of Cash Waqf-Linked Sukuk (CWLS), where balancing philanthropic objectives with the need to develop financially viable investment instruments demands a mature and nuanced approach. This study not only investigates the Sharia compliance of CWLS, but also examines how the Tafriq al-Sufqah theory can inform the design and development of innovative Islamic financial products that are both ethically grounded and responsive to contemporary challenges. By doing so, the research offers fresh insights into the structuring and operation of Sharia-compliant financial instruments, emphasizing the potential of Islamic finance to evolve while maintaining fidelity to its foundational principles. Viewed through the lens of CWLS, this study contributes to the broader discourse on sustainable and ethical finance, demonstrating how Islamic finance can adapt and innovate without compromising its adherence to Sharia law. The research adopts a qualitative methodology centered on an analysis of DSN-MUI Fatwa No. 131/DSN-MUI/X/2019, which serves as a key reference for understanding Islamic Waqf-Based Securities (Islamic WBS) from a Sharia By applying the Tafriq al-Sufqah theory to Islamic WBS, this study investigates the ways in which Islamic legal principles are embedded in contemporary financial innovations. The objective is twofold: to fill a critical gap in the literature and to offer practical guidance for the development of Islamic financial instruments that align with modern economic realities. Through this theoretical framework, the research underscores the importance of integrating Islamic ethical values into financial innovation, thereby promoting the creation of an inclusive, sustainable, and socially responsible financial ecosystem. In this way, the study positions Islamic WBS as a potential new paradigm in Islamic finance, one that effectively reconciles economic returns with social benefit. Dian Lailatullailia.

DOI: 10. 22373/baspd111 Tafriqus Sufqah Al-Khatib Al-Sharbini Al-Khatib Al-SharbiniAos interpretation of the Tafriq al-Sufqah agreement presents a nuanced approach to transactions that combine both halal and haram elements within a single contractual framework. From a Sharia perspective. AlSharbini classifies tafriq al-sufqah contracts into three categories,15 The first involves transactions in which both lawful . and unlawful . items are sold together. According to Al-Sharbini, such contracts are only valid with respect to the halal components, provided that the respective values of each item can be clearly determined. This principle reflects a broader legal concern in Islamic jurisprudence that the inclusion of haram elements must not override the permissibility of halal goods, particularly when their values are distinguishable. The ruling underscores the prohibition of ambiguous or mixed transactions lacking transparency in valuation, aligning with the Sharia emphasis on clarity and the avoidance of gharar . The second category pertains to sales involving goods that become damaged prior to delivery. In such cases. Al-Sharbini asserts that the contract becomes invalid concerning the damaged items, while remaining valid for the unaffected goods. The buyer is thereby entitled to choose whether to continue or rescind the contract, with any payment obligations adjusted in accordance with the value of the valid items. This perspective reinforces key principles of fairness, justice, and accuracy in Islamic commercial transactions, ensuring that parties are not unjustly burdened by partial contract failure due to unforeseen damage. Third. Al-Khatib Al-Sharbini addresses transactions that combine two distinct contracts with differing legal implications, such as ijarah . and bayAo . ale and purchas. , or ijarah and salam . dvance payment for future He maintains that such composite contracts are permissible, provided the value of each contractual element can be clearly determined and no legal conflicts arise between them. However, he also highlights that discrepancies in contract conditions, such as the timing provisions in an ijarah agreement that could potentially invalidate a concurrent bayAocontract, illustrate the inherent complexity in merging contracts with different Shariah rulings. Al-SharbiniAos perspective underscores the critical importance of legal clarity, mutual fairness, and strict adherence to Sharia principles in the structuring of composite financial In his comprehensive examination of tafriq al-sufqah contracts. Al-Khatib Al-Sharbini articulates a detailed legal taxonomy grounded in classical Islamic He outlines three principal categories of permissible tafriq alsufqah arrangements. the sale of halal and haram goods within a single transaction, which is valid only for the halal goods if their respective values are As Syarbini. Mughni Al Muhtaj, vol. 2 (Damaskus: Dar Al-Marefah, 2. As Syarbini. Mughni Al Muhtaj. http://jurnal. ar-raniry. id/index. php/samarah The Applicability of Cash Waqf Linked Sukuk Atik Abidah, et, al. DOI: 10. 22373/baspd111 clearly identified. the sale of multiple goods where one becomes damaged prior to delivery, thereby invalidating the transaction only for the damaged item and preserving the buyerAos right to accept or reject the remaining goods with corresponding price adjustments. the combination of two contracts with differing legal consequences, such as ijarah and bayAo, which remains valid as long as there is no contradiction in their terms and each can be independently valued. The legal foundations of Al-SharbiniAos classification are supported by scriptural and prophetic sources. These include Surah al-MA'idah . , which stresses the obligation to fulfill contracts. Surah al-NisAAo . , which advocates for fair and consensual economic transactions. and a hadith narrated by Jabir ibn AbdillAh, which affirms the permissibility of contractual conditions that do not legalize the haram or prohibit the halal. Together, these sources reinforce the principle that contractual clarity, fairness, and compliance with Sharia are essential in the formulation of legitimate financial agreements. Conversely. Al-Khatib Al-Sharbini also identifies several categories of tafriq al-sufqah contracts that are impermissible under Sharia. These include the combined sale of halal and haram goods in such a way that the entire transaction is rendered void, transactions involving damaged goods where the buyer is not granted the option to either annul or continue the contract, and the merging of two contracts that carry contradictory legal consequences. Al-Sharbini supports these prohibitions with textual evidence, including a hadith narrated by Ibn Abbas, which holds that the inclusion of a haram item in a transaction nullifies the presence of any halal item. Additionally, he cites the Prophet MuhammadAos . eace be upon hi. prohibition of executing two contracts within a single transaction, which serves as a key legal basis for rejecting such practices. Al-SharbiniAos analysis reflects a deep commitment to preserving the integrity and Sharia compliance of financial transactions, while also offering precise legal distinctions between permissible and impermissible contractual His categorization underscores the principles of fairness, transparency, and mutual consent core values in Islamic commercial As such. Al-SharbiniAos framework for evaluating tafriq al-sufqah contracts offers a vital foundation for ongoing discourse on the application of classical Sharia principles to modern financial practices. His insights remain particularly relevant for contemporary Islamic finance, where increasingly complex contractual structures demand rigorous legal scrutiny to ensure continued alignment with Sharia law.

DOI: 10. 22373/baspd111 Islamic Jurisprudential Framework for Cash Waqf-Linked Sukuk (CWLS) Within the Islamic jurisprudential framework concerning Cash WaqfLinked Sukuk (CWLS), the National Sharia Council of the Indonesian Ulema Council (DSN-MUI) has emphasized, in Fatwa No. 131/DSN-MUI/X/2019, the significance of developing Sharia-compliant capital market products integrated with waqf. This initiative aims to optimize the utilization of waqf assets alongside sukuk returns to support both religious obligations and broader societal welfare in accordance with Sharia principles. Fatwa No. 131/DSN-MUI/X/2019 offers detailed definitions and regulatory provisions. Sukuk, as a central concept, is defined as Sharia-compliant securities that serve as certificates or proof of ownership over underlying assets. These assets are characterized as equal and indivisible . , representing ownership shares after the sukuk issuance, subscription period closure, and commencement of fund deployment according to the intended objectives. The assets underlying sukuk, referred to as Sukuk Assets (Ashul al-Shuku. , encompass a diverse range, including tangible assets, benefits derived from tangible assets, services, assets related to specific projects, and assets associated with particular investment activities. Waqf is defined as a legal act undertaken by a waqif . to dedicate or transfer a portion of their assets for purposes of worship or public welfare in accordance with Sharia, either for a specified period or perpetually. 19 Building upon this concept, sukuk waqf is structured to optimize the utilization of waqf assets and allocate the resulting returns for the benefit of the community, fully aligned with Sharia principles. Central to this discussion are the waqf assets themselves, the objects of waqf, and the benefits derived from the use of these The nazhir, as the custodian or manager of waqf assets, assumes responsibility for their administration and development in accordance with the waqifAos stipulated objectives. In addition, the concept of ijarah, referring to a long-term lease agreement on land or waqf assets designated for development or commercial purposes, is incorporated within this framework. Through Fatwa No. 131/DSN-MUI/X/2019, the National Sharia Council of the Indonesian Ulema Council delineates a comprehensive regulatory structure for the implementation and governance of waqf sukuk, thereby reaffirming its commitment to advancing Islamic finance products that are fully compliant with Sharia law.

DOI: 10. 22373/baspd111 Legal provisions governing the issuance of Waqf Sukuk explicitly prohibit the use of waqf assets themselves as the direct underlying basis for issuance. This restriction aims to preserve the sanctity and integrity of waqf assets in accordance with Sharia principles and to ensure their prudent management. Conversely, the economic benefits derived from waqf assets and the business activities conducted on them are permitted to serve as the basis for Sukuk issuance. This approach enables the productive utilization of waqf assets without compromising their original ownership, thereby facilitating effective development and management of waqf assets. Such efforts support community development initiatives within an ethical and sustainable framework, consistent with Sharia values that emphasize in the issuance of Sukuk Waqf, the choice of contract compliant with Sharia principles is a critical factor in ensuring adherence to the Islamic law. Various contract types, such as mudharabah . rofit-sharing partnershi. , ijarah . , wakalah bi al-istitsmar . nvestment agenc. , and musyarakah . oint ventur. offer flexible frameworks for business partnerships, leasing arrangements, investment representation, and capital cooperation. Each contract is grounded in principles of fairness, transparency, and the avoidance of riba . , gharar . xcessive uncertaint. , and maysir . This contractual flexibility enables Sukuk to support projects that contribute to both economic development and social welfare, while concurrently strengthening the Islamic financial system. The role of the nazhir as the manager of waqf assets is also pivotal in the Sukuk issuance process, with the nazhir potentially serving as the issuer or entering into Sharia-compliant agreements with other parties. This highlights the essential function of the nazhir in ensuring compliance with Sharia principles throughout the transaction lifecycle. Figure 1. Concept of Waqf Sukuk Issuance This approach reflects a balance between flexibility and discipline in the management and issuance of Sukuk Waqf, ensuring that operations remain ethical http://jurnal. ar-raniry. id/index. php/samarah The Applicability of Cash Waqf Linked Sukuk Atik Abidah, et, al. DOI: 10. 22373/baspd111 and fully compliant with Sharia principles. In the issuance of Sukuk based on the Mudharabah contract, a cooperative partnership is established between the investor (Shahib al-ma. and the business manager (Mudhari. The Nazhir may assume the role of Mudharib or delegate this function to a third party acting as the Sukuk issuer. When the Nazhir acts as the issuer, they may lease the benefits of the waqf assets to the Mudharabah entity, thereby ensuring the productive utilization of waqf assets in accordance with Sharia law. Liability for any losses arising from the management of waqf assets by the Nazhir is confined to the returns generated from asset development, without diminishing the original value of the waqf assets. This mechanism effectively safeguards the sanctity of the waqf assets within the Mudharabah framework. Figure 2. Cooperation structure in the issuance of Sukuk Mudharabah Alternatively, when Sukuk issuance is conducted by a third party, entering into an Ijarah contract with the Nazhir demonstrates the contractual flexibility afforded by Sharia to accommodate specific issuance needs. The deployment of Sukuk funds must adhere strictly to Sharia principles, with clearly defined profitsharing ratios between the Shahib al-mal and Mudharib to ensure transparency and equitable treatment. The Shahib al-malAos entitlement to profit sharing is guaranteed, while the Mudharib bears the responsibility of returning the principal capital at the conclusion of the contract. 20 Any matters not explicitly stipulated AuMengikuti Fatwa DSN-MUI Nomor: 33/DSN-MUI/IX/2002 Tentang Obligasi Syariah MudharabahAy (DSN-MUI, n. http://jurnal. ar-raniry. id/index. php/samarah The Applicability of Cash Waqf Linked Sukuk Atik Abidah, et, al.

In the Sukuk Ijarah scheme, whether the Nazhir acts as the issuer or a third party is involved, a structured framework governs transactions in accordance with Sharia principles. When the Nazhir serves as the issuer, an Ijarah contract is established with the investor concerning the usufruct of the waqf assets, with the ujrah . ental paymen. agreed upon at the inception of the contract. This payment may take the form of money or other assets and can be made flexibly, either upfront, at the end of the contract term, or in installments. This arrangement grants investors the right to benefit from the waqf assets, including income generated from their use, while also allowing the transfer of asset development responsibilities to a third party under a subsequent Ijarah contract approved by the Nazhir. This demonstrates considerable flexibility in the management and development of waqf assets. When a third party acts as the issuer instead of the Nazhir, the contract similarly adheres to Sharia principles, involving an Ijarah-type agreement. Both the Nazhir and the third-party issuer retain the discretion to structure ujrah payments flexibly, according to the contractual terms. This underscores the necessity of explicitly defining the ujrah amount and contract duration to ensure clarity in Ijarah transactions22 These processes are reinforced by DSN-MUI Fatwa No. 4/DSN-MUI/i/2004 concerning Sharia Ijarah Bonds and DSN-MUI Fatwa No. 112/DSN-MUI/IV/2017 regarding Ijarah Contracts,23 which provide comprehensive guidance on applying Ijarah principles in Sukuk issuance, thereby ensuring Sharia compliance while promoting fairness, transparency, and accountability in waqf asset management.

The Wakil, endowed with full authority from the Muwakkil, is responsible for the development and investment of assets to achieve the specified investment objectives. When the Sukuk is issued by the Nazhir, the waqf assets may be leased to the Sukuk entity, enabling the Nazhir to utilize the assets within an investment scheme. Notably, any losses arising from the NazhirAos mismanagement are limited to the returns generated from asset development and do not diminish the original value of the waqf assets In cases where Sukuk are issued by a third party, a contract analogous to Ijarah may be established with the Nazhir, thereby ensuring the allocation of Sukuk proceeds towards Sharia-compliant investments or business activities. The profits generated from these investments are attributed to the Muwakkil, while any returns exceeding the target may be allocated to the Wakalah (Islamic agenc. as an incentive.

This limitation underscores the significance of accountability and risk management within the framework. The profit-sharing ratio must be explicitly established at the inception of the contract to ensure an equitable distribution of profits aligned with the capital contributions of each Sharia shareholder. Sharia shareholders are entitled to receive profits proportionate to their respective contributions, while the Sukuk issuer bears the responsibility of repaying the Musharakah capital upon the conclusion of the contract period or as mutually agreed.
