Waqf Management Through Money Case Study of Waqf for Bore Wells on STIBA Makassar Campus

Abstract

This research aims to understand the mechanism of managing endowments through monetary means, using a case study of a well-endowment project at STIBA Makassar Campus. The background of this research is based on the crucial role of the nazir, or endowment manager, in ensuring that endowment assets are managed in a trustworthy and productive manner in Indonesia. Therefore, this research focuses on how the nazir manages the well-endowment at STIBA Campus, highlighting the need for high competence in this management. The research employs field research methods with two main approaches: theological normative and sociological. The theological normative approach is used to refer to religious norms believed to be true in the context of endowment management, while the sociological approach involves direct interaction, observation, and interviews with individuals, groups, or communities involved in the endowment project. The research findings show that the management of endowment funds for the well project at STIBA Makassar Campus is carried out effectively and transparently. Fund collection mechanisms are conducted with high accountability and good communication with donors, which enhances their trust and participation. The management process involves careful needs assessment and detailed budget planning, ensuring wise and targeted use of funds. The well project has a significant positive impact, fulfilling the campus's clean water needs, supporting various academic and non-academic activities, and reducing reliance on external water sources. The success of this project not only improves the quality of life on campus but also the quality of education. The practice of endowment through money at STIBA Makassar also adheres to Sharia principles, with the fulfillment of endowment pillars and sustainability, providing significant benefits to the academic community and optimally supporting campus operations.
