Revitalising waqf through gold: modern perspective on an age-old practice

Waqf, a cornerstone of Islamic philanthropy, has historically been pivotal in supporting community welfare while fostering development. Traditionally, waqf assets have encompassed immovable properties like land and buildings, as well as movable assets such as cash and shares. Recently, there has been a growing interest in diversifying waqf assets to enhance their sustainability and impact. Among these, gold emerges as a unique and valuable asset with the potential to revitalise waqf practices.
