AN ANALYSIS OF PROCEDURES AND MANAGEMENT OF MUSLIM PROPERTY AT BAITULMAL

Baitulmal has special jurisdiction in managing muslim property especially for found property (luqatah), debtors money, unclaimed property, and estate redemption. However, each state has its own management methods as baitulmals authority falls under state jurisdiction. This uncoordinated management raises concerns that these property resources may not be administered optimally, consequently preventing the benefits from reaching eligible beneficiaries. More worryingly, the public may become confused and unaware of baitulmals true function in managing these property resources. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the procedures and management of muslim property especially for found property, debtors money, unclaimed property, and estate redemption at baitulmal. This study employs a qualitative research design by conducting library research in the form of document analysis on the Management Manual of the Department of Waqf, Zakat and Hajj (JAWHAR). To observe the practical application of managing these property resources, this study focuses on the implementation at the Negeri Sembilan Islamic Religious Council (MAINS). Data was further obtained through their official website. The study findings reveal the necessity for clear property procedures and management of muslim property from these property sources to benefit eligible Muslims.
