Abstract

This paper analyses the legal and historical development of waqf made by Sultan Idris Murshidul' adzam Shah in Perak (1849 to 1916). There are many untraceable, lost, and perished waqfs in Malaysia. However, Sultan Idris’s waqf is an exception which still exists since its establishment in 1917. As such, this research intends to explore its sustainability factors. The research methodology used is the doctrinal and non-doctrinal research methods. The doctrinal method is used to analyse the enactments, government gazettes, audit reports, journal articles, and history books. Meanwhile, the non-doctrinal legal method, namely semi-structured interview, clarifies findings and information gathered from various documents. The research is essential as there is a lack of comprehensive research done on waqf made by the Sultans or the Head of State in Malaysia. The researcher finds that  the waqf was an established under written legal instrument;  the waqf by Sultan Idris was made based on the English law of trust, but the spirit and principles of waqf to permanently benefit the beneficiaries remain intact; the appointment of the Sultan's descendants as the trustees alongside a committee proved to be crucial for the sustainability of the waqf; and there was check and balance process through legal provision. This research provides a clearer picture of waqf practice before the establishment of Perak's State Islamic Religious Council and evidenced the Sultan's contribution towards developing and protecting Islam.
霹雳的皇家waqf:法律和历史分析
本文分析了苏丹伊德里斯·穆尔西杜尔·阿扎姆·沙阿(1849年至1916年)在霹雳州制作的瓦克夫的法律和历史发展。在马来西亚有许多找不到的、失踪的和死亡的waqfs。然而,苏丹伊德里斯的waqf是一个例外,自1917年成立以来一直存在。因此,本研究旨在探讨其可持续性因素。使用的研究方法是理论和非理论的研究方法。理论的方法是用来分析立法,政府公报,审计报告,期刊文章,和历史书籍。与此同时,非教义的法律方法,即半结构化访谈,澄清了从各种文件中收集到的发现和信息。这项研究是必不可少的,因为缺乏对马来西亚苏丹或国家元首所做的waqf的全面研究。研究人员发现,waqf是根据书面法律文书成立的;苏丹伊德里斯的信托基金是根据英国的信托法制定的,但永久受益于受益人的信托基金精神和原则保持不变;任命苏丹的后代作为受托人以及一个委员会被证明对waqf的可持续性至关重要;通过法律规定有一个制衡的过程。本研究为霹雳州伊斯兰宗教委员会成立前的waqf实践提供了更清晰的画面,并证明了苏丹对发展和保护伊斯兰教的贡献。
