However, existing regulations have not been able to fully address the complexity of this instrument. This research analysed and reconstructed the policy of waqf shares in Indonesia through the maqashid sharia approach based on Jasser Auda's system theory. Using qualitative methods through document study and policy analysis, this study examined the compatibility of waqf share policies with the main objectives of sharia, the protection of religion, soul, mind, offspring, and property. The results showed the need for policy reconstruction to establish a waqf share ecosystem that is inclusive and adaptive to modern economic dynamics. Recommendations include strengthening regulations, innovating Islamic financial instruments, and synergising between the government, financial institutions, and religious authorities. The findings contribute to the formulation of a sharia-compatible waqf share policy that is responsive to national socio-economic needs. Keywords: Waqf Shares. Maqashid Sharia. Jasser Auda.

Introduction Waqf is an instrument in Islam capable of providing a wide range of public services that are currently mainly funded by the government, such as health, transport, education, infrastructure, etc. 1 In the Islamic context, waqf is a multidimensional practice. Its diversity includes aspects of worship and muamalah, which are essential in supporting the welfare of society. 2 Indonesia has a waqf instrument that is regulated in Law No. 41/2004 on Waqf. This law outlines the types of assets in waqf, waqf management institutions, and the benefits of waqf in the effort to alleviate poverty. 3 Based on Article 16 of the Law, waqf assets are classified into movable and immovable assets. The movable assets include buildings, land, and others, while the immovable assets include vehicles, money, letters, and others. However, the amount of movable waqf assets based on the Indonesian Sharia Economic Master Plan 2019-2024 is still relatively low. Based on the report of the Indonesian Waqf Board (BWI), until 2017, the realization of waqf fundraising only reached IDR 199 billion. This amount is from the collection fees of the central BWI, regional BWIs, and donations from other waqf fund management The largest collections are from institutions and foundations. Nevertheless. BWI stated that the potential waqf in Indonesia could amount to IDR 180 trillion. Moreover, some experts estimate the potential of cash waqf in Indonesia reach IDR 3 trillion per year.

According to the Regulation of the Minister of Religious Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia Number 73 of 2013 concerning Procedures for Endowment of Immovable Objects and Movable Objects Other Than Money. Article 9, movable assets other than money are divided into two categories: . movable objects other than money because they can be moved or transferred, and . movable objects other than money because of the provisions of laws and regulations. Movable objects regulated by laws and regulations in Article 12 of the Regulation of the Minister of Religious Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia Number 73 of 2013 include sharia stocks/shares, government bonds/sharia state debt securities, general bonds/sharia debt, and other sharia securities that can be valued in money. This research specifically discusses stocks as waqf assets and the construction of waqf share The selection of stocks/shares as waqf assets is made due to the rapid growth of Islamic stocks, both in Indonesia and globally. In 2020, the waqf share in waqf fundraising might be observed through the participation of six securities companies issuing stock waqf in Indonesia. In 2019, the five securities companies were BNI Securitas. PT Henan Putihrai Securitas. Samuel Securitas. Philip Securitas, and Panin Securitas. In 2020. PT MNC Securitas joined in by issuing stock waqf. The stock waqf model implemented by these securities companies involves a partnership with a nazir, a party who is responsible for distributing the benefits of the stock waqf. The involvement of six securities companies in the issuance of stock waqf is the result of coordination between the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) and the National Sharia Council. The IDX targets nine securities companies to manage the waqf shares, out of 15 securities companies that have Sharia Online Trading System (STOS). Of this target, nine securities companies showed interest in developing waqf share. However, in 2020, only six securities companies were involved, with five nazirs registered in the Indonesian Waqf Board (BWI). 6 The data explains the development of Ahmad Wira et al.

From 2019 to 2020, there was an increase of 21. from 2020 to June 2021, the growth was only 3. One of the reasons for this slow growth is because stock waqf is a newly implemented concept, and there has not been optimal information from regulatory agencies, securities companies, and nazir to the Research on stock waqf has been conducted since 2011. Previous studies have not only discussed the implementation of stock waqf in Indonesia but also in various other 7 Previous studies have focused more on stock waqf in Malaysia, particularly the role of stock waqf in improving welfare, investor profile towards stock waqf, the potential of stock waqf, and stock waqf as an Islamic financial instrument. 8 In Indonesia, there is still relatively little research on stock waqf compared to Malaysia, partly because the concept of stock waqf has just been developed in Indonesia. Previous studies in Indonesia on stock waqf are related to the perspective of Islamic law, the role of stock waqf in increasing investment in Islamic stocks, and factors that influence Indonesian Muslims to stock waqf. 9 Meanwhile, there is still very little research related to the analysis of the development of stock waqf, especially the analysis of stock waqf policies normed in the Waqf Law in Indonesia. Research on the reconstruction of the waqf stock policy in Indonesia is important due to the great potential of this instrument in supporting social justice-based economic As a country with the largest Muslim population in the world.

Therefore, this research is needed to fill the regulatory void while creating a policy foundation that is more relevant to contemporary economic dynamics. Jasser Auda's system theory-based Maqasid al-Shariah approach offers a comprehensive framework for evaluating and reconstructing stock waqf policies. Auda's systems theory emphasizes flexibility, openness, and multidimensional integration in understanding Islamic law. Then, it accommodates the needs of the times without neglecting the basic principles of sharia. By adopting this approach, stock waqf policies are designed, not only to fulfil economic objectives but also to achieve a balance between spiritual, social, and environmental aspects. This becomes important in formulating responsive policies to the complexity of modern society's needs and global challenges. The urgency of this research also lies in its contribution to the development of the Islamic financial system in Indonesia. Waqf shares, as an innovative instrument, have the potential to strengthen financial inclusion, encourage value-based investment, and broaden the base of Islamic philanthropy. Policy reconstruction aligned with Maqashid Sharia will help create an ecosystem that supports collaboration between the government, private sector, and religious institutions. Not only relevant for academic purposes, but it also has practical implications for regulatory development, strengthening the national economy, and achieving sustainable development goals in Indonesia. 12 This research analysed and reconstructed the policy of waqf shares in Indonesia through the Maqashid Sharia approach based on Jasser Auda's system theory.

Result and Discussion Potential Development of Waqf Shares in Indonesia The development of stock waqf in Indonesia is inspired by the innovative steps taken by countries such as Malaysia, the United Arab Emirates, and Turkey. 15 These practices have proven successful in integrating stock waqf into their financial systems, utilising modern financial technology to facilitate the management of waqf assets, and expanding public participation in waqf-based investments. 16 The potential for stock waqf development in Indonesia is enormous, fuelled by the world's largest Muslim population and rapid economic growth. The implementation of stock waqf can significantly contribute to the development of social infrastructure, education, health, and financial inclusion for the wider community, with the following arguments: Philosophical Argumentation The presence of waqf is intended to provide social benefits, such as worship for So, the welfare of society can be realized by its presence, as stated in the Waqf Law Number 41 of 2004 concerning waqf. Waqf institutions as religious institutions have the potential and economic benefits need to be managed effectively and efficiently for the Jasser Auda.

This principle becomes the basis for the importance of the development of stock waqf in solving the community's economy due to stock waqf. 17 With the right approach, the development of stock waqf can be an effective tool to increase accessibility, speed, and efficiency in solving the community's economy through waqf. Philosophically, legal principles are the basis for running a legal system. According to Scholten, principles have an ethical dimension in the application of law in 19 Legal principles should contain ethical aspects to ensure that the legal system operates fairly, with dignity, and by the moral values recognized by society. 20 The application of ethics in law helps to ensure that legal decisions respect human rights, justice, and humanity. 21 The development of waqf shares in this communityAos economic settlement can function with integrity and fairness. By applying these legal and ethical principles in the development of share-waqf. Indonesian waqf institutions can ensure that share-waqf is utilized with integrity, fairness, and ethical values, following the objectives of law enforcement in the context of Islamic law. Juridical and Empirical-Sociological Argumentation The management of waqf shares in Indonesia is riddled with problems and is often attributed to the unclear position of waqf shares in the Islamic finance ecosystem.

The involvement of these multiple parties causes the position of stock waqf to be unclear and its development strategy at the policy level to be less than optimal. Moreover, if stock waqf can be developed into an instrument that supports the capital market, the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) will also play a role in regulating the mechanism. The existing complexities have not received adequate attention, thus becoming a major obstacle in the development of stock waqf strategies. Therefore, there is a need for cross-sectoral innovation that can overcome these obstacles and clarify the direction of stock waqf development in Indonesia. According to the Waqf Law No. 41/2004, the Indonesian Waqf Board (BWI) was established as an independent institution to promote and develop national waqf. When waqf shares enter the Islamic finance industry, they interact with other Islamic financial instruments that are businesses and are under the supervision of the Ministry of Finance and the Financial Services Authority (OJK). 25 If the shares are traded on the stock exchange, the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) will also be involved in their regulation. On the other hand, the Indonesian Waqf Board (BWI) needs to improve the management of waqf assets with a professional business management approach through the establishment of a specialized corporate-based body and the implementation of an Muhammad Hadi et al.

BWI can develop new products such as waqf core principles, waqf sukuk, and other waqf products, apart from waqf shares. These developments emphasize the need to review BWI's role as an independent institution and strengthen the position of equity waqf in the Islamic finance ecosystem. The role of stock waqf in the context of regulatory policy also needs to be clarified to support its growth. To support the efficiency of waqf asset management. BWI can use transparent and accountable modern technology. Public education on the benefits of waqf and cooperation with Islamic financial institutions are also important to optimize the role of waqf in the ecosystem. 27 Clear regulatory support from the government will create a conducive environment for the development of waqf stocks as a significant financial instrument in supporting sustainable and inclusive economic The previously analysis shows a weak position of stock waqf in the national Islamic finance ecosystem. The bargaining power of equity waqf is still low, which results in its position not being clearly defined. To develop equity waqf, it needs to strengthen the policy rules and the position of regulators involving cross-sectors, such as the Ministry of Finance. Ministry of Religious Affairs. Indonesian Waqf Board (BWI). Bank Indonesia (BI), and the Financial Services Authority (OJK). 29 Regulations related to the development of stock waqf have been issued, which are closely related to the regulation of cash waqf as both have the same asset base. This policy commitment is reflected in four regulations and fatwas: Government Regulation No. 42/2006 on the Implementation of Law No. 41/2004 on Waqf. Minister of Religious Affairs Regulation No. 73/2013 on the Procedures for the Waqf of Immovable Objects and Movable Objects Other than Money.

However, to enhance their effectiveness, there is a need for better coordination among relevant institutions and close monitoring of the implementation of these regulations. The position of stock waqf in Indonesia's Islamic financial ecosystem still shows weaknesses in its bargaining power, which has led to its role not being clearly defined. The steps are needed to further develop equity waqf, including strengthening the policy rules and the regulatory position involving crucial sectors, such as the Ministry of Finance. Ministry of Religious Affairs. Indonesian Waqf Board (BWI). Bank Indonesia (BI), and the Financial Services Authority (OJK). Although regulations related to the development of stock waqf already exist, there is an important link with cash waqf regulations, as both have the same asset base. The commitment is reflected in four relevant regulations and fatwas, including Government Regulation No. 42/2006 on the Implementation of Law No. 41/2004 on Waqf. Minister of Religious Affairs Regulation No. 73/2013 on the Procedures for Perwakafan of Immovable Objects and Movable Objects Other Than Money, and fatwas from the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) governing sharia principles in the mechanism of trading equity securities in the regular market of the Stock Exchange, and cash waqf regulations. 31 These policies demonstrate a commitment to support the development of stock waqf. However, additional steps are still needed to clarify the position of stock waqf and strengthen the role of various regulators in designing effective policies. However, merely organising regulations and legalities is not enough. A commitment to implement stock waqf is required, which consists of two important aspects: formulating an implementation mechanism that includes a stock waqf management model, and reducing barriers that include challenges in implementing stock waqf. As stock waqf still has a weak position in the Islamic finance ecosystem, the stock waqf management model needs to be differentiated into two types: stock waqf whose shares have been listed on the stock exchange or have conducted an Initial Public Offering (IPO), and stock waqf whose shares have not been listed on the Hakim.

The term "shares" in this study refers not only to public shares (IPO) but also internal financial instruments . ot yet public/non-IPO). Distinguishing between IPO and non-IPO stocks is crucial to address the weak position of waqf stocks within the national Islamic finance ecosystem. In the development of stock waqf, the term "stocks of non-IPO" is referred to as micro stocks. Based on the various types of stock waqf, this study focuses on both types, micro stocks or IPOs. Both are considered productive waqf because they generate benefits for the benefit of the community. Mohsin explains that the objectives of stock waqf are two times large, namely: to renew the waqf sector, and . to ensure the community benefits from the proceeds of the shares, both in the form of capital gains and dividends. Yuliana & Hadi identify two models of stock waqf implementation, namely: waqf funded by stock investorsAo profits, and waqf that uses Islamic stocks as waqf objects. 32 In the first model, the source of waqf comes from the percentage of profit earned by stock investors, which is deducted from the margin of stock sales. This percentage is allocated as waqf and given to the Nazir according to the agreement between the waqif . , the stock exchange member, and the Nazir. The Nazir is responsible for converting these profits into productive or social assets directly, and distributing them to the beneficiaries of the waqf . auquf alai. Meanwhile, in the second model, stock waqf comes from Islamic stocks purchased by the waqif and then endowed. Here, the source of waqf is not from the profits of Islamic stocks as in the first model. But it is from the Islamic stocks acquired and endowed by the waqif. These shares are then handed over to an investment management institution to earning profits. The profits will be handed over to the Nazir and converted into productive or physical assets that provide social and economic benefits. If stock waqf is applied to the type of micro stock waqf . on-IPO), it requires a Nazir with high professional capacity. This concept of professionalism includes efficiency in the use of resources and results in the management process. Productive stock waqf must be managed with professionalism that pays attention to: first, human resource aspects, including workers, investors, managers, and the surrounding community. Second, financial aspects, including capital and financial performance. Third, material aspects, including waqf assets and inventory. Fourth, program aspects, including program Yuliana and Hadi.

Stock waqf management should fall into four main functions: economic function, social function, worship function, and moral With professional management, stock waqf can have a significant impact on economic, social, and environmental aspects. Nazirs should apply contemporary management principles and prioritize the principle of al-maslahah . ublic interes. in the management of stock waqf. It is crucial to commit to continuous dissemination to accelerate the growth of stock waqf. These strategies become holistic policies to strengthen the commitment of various parties involved in the development of stock waqf. Nonetheless, optimism needs to be maintained to develop stock waqf as a strategic value in driving Indonesia's dominance as a global leader in Islamic financial products. The argumentation can explain if the management of equity waqf in Indonesia faces various problems, which are mainly caused by the unclear position of equity waqf in the Islamic financial ecosystem. The position of stock waqf is still weak and requires strengthening in terms of regulation and the role of the various regulators involved, namely the Ministry of Religious Affairs, the Ministry of Finance, the Financial Services Authority (OJK), and Bank Indonesia (BI). The complexity of regulation by these various parties leads to an optimal stock waqf development strategy. The Indonesian Waqf Board (BWI) as an independent institution has an important role in developing stock waqf, but it needs strong and clear regulatory support to manage stock waqf professionally. Based on the previous explanation, it concluded that the development of waqf shares has significant potential for the economic welfare of the community. The waqf shares has a philosophical reason following the principles of Indonesian law. For example, waqf as a religious institution has the potential and economic benefits for public Juridically, although not specifically regulated, the development of stock waqf is closely related to cash waqf in the Law. From an empirical-sociological point of view, the potential of waqf to be developed in society is extraordinary, so it will potentially provide great benefits. However, the development of stock waqf must be done by considering strong legal and ethical principles to ensure justice, human rights, and Nurlailiyah Aidatus Sholihah and Nurlaeli Fatmah.

However, the realization of waqf collection has only reached around IDR 1 trillion per Of this amount, the contribution of productive waqf, including stock waqf, is still relatively minimal, despite having a great opportunity to improve the welfare of society. Shares as liquid assets that can generate dividends on an ongoing basis make share waqf a potential instrument in supporting Sharia-based social and economic empowerment Research findings show limited public literacy on stock waqf is the main factor in obstacles to the optimization of this instrument. 36 A survey conducted by the Financial Services Authority (OJK) in 2022 revealed that the level of Islamic financial literacy in Indonesia had only reached 8. 93%, much lower than the conventional financial literacy This shows the education on the benefits of waqf shares as a Sharia-based investment alternative needs to be strengthened, especially among retail investors. addition, clear regulations and ease of procedures in implementing stock waqf are important aspects to encourage wider participation from the community. The great potential of stock waqf is also reflected in the increasing number of Islamic stock investors. 38 Data from the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) notes that by the end of 2023, the number of Islamic stock investors will reach 120,000 people, an increase of 15% compared to the previous year.

Waqf Share Policy in Indonesia with Maqashid Sharia Approach Based on Jasser Auda's Systems Theory The stock waqf policy in Indonesia is an innovation in the development of Islamic financial instruments aimed at expanding socio-economic benefits based on Islamic 40 As a productive waqf instrument, shares have great potential in creating sustainability of benefits . stimrariyyah al-nafaA. , as the dividends can be distributed to fund various social, educational, and economic empowerment programs. 41 In this context, the Maqashid Sharia approach becomes a relevant normative framework to assess whether the stock waqf policy follow the main objectives of sharia, namely protecting religion . ifz al-di. , soul . ifz al-naf. , intellect . ifz al-Aoaq. , offspring . ifz al-nas. , and wealth . ifz al-ma.

In the context of stock waqf policy, this theory demands an approach, not only oriented towards normative texts, but also considers the interrelated social, economic, and cultural Therefore, stock waqf policies must be designed to accommodate the complexity of modern society's needs while maintaining essential sharia principles. One important aspect of a Maqashid Sharia-based stock waqf policy is the longterm sustainability of economic benefits. 45 Shares as a financial instrument allow for the productive management of waqf funds, where the profits generated can be used for social programs such as scholarships, health infrastructure development, or economic empowerment of the poor. From the perspective of hifz al-mal, this policy not only preserves assets but also develops following the principles of distribution of justice ('ad. and balance . in Islam. Analysis of the waqf share policy within the framework of openness, according to Auda, shows that regulations must be responsive to the development of the capital market and the needs of society46 by integrating digital technology in the implementation of stock waqf, such as the use of blockchain-based platforms for transaction transparency and fund management accountability. Thus, the stock waqf system become more inclusive and accessible to various groups, including retail investors who wish to participate in Islamic In addition, the multi-dimensionality dimension in Auda's theory requires that stock waqf policies consider the social, legal, economic, and cultural aspects simultaneously. For example, the regulations governing stock waqf should be consider the national capital market law, the sharia fatwa from the National Sharia Council (DSN-MUI), and government policies related to inclusive finance.

Good policy implementation will reduce social inequality through a more equitable distribution of wealth. This is the essence of Maqashid Sharia, by prioritizing collective benefits . aslahah Aoamma. over individual interests. Therefore, the role of the government and Islamic financial institutions is crucial in overseeing and ensuring that stock waqf funds are used by these objectives. In terms of interconnectedness, stock waqf policies in Indonesia should be connected to the macroeconomic programs by the state. For example, funds raised from stock waqf can be invested in strategic sectors such as education infrastructure, shariabased MSME development, and public health. This integration creates a multiplier effect in boost national economic growth while improving people's welfare under the principles of social justice in Islam. Finally, through the comprehensiveness approach, the stock waqf policy in Indonesia should not only focus on the formal legal aspects but also include the education and literacy aspects of Islamic finance. Increasing public awareness of the importance of stock waqf might be implemented through educational campaigns, training, and incentives for investors who contribute to the stock waqf program. 50 With this holistic approach, the stock waqf policy in Indonesia can be an effective instrument in supporting inclusive, sustainable, and Sharia-compliant economic development.
