The collection of multidisciplinary waqf studies – III: Contemporary legal issues of awqaf

Abstract

As the Multidisciplinary Waqf Studies series enters its third book, the conversation around waqf broadens both linguistically and thematically. This bilingual volume featuring four Turkish and two English articles demonstrates how the centuries-old endowment tradition continues to inspire fresh legal, social, and comparative insights. Each contribution blends rigorous scholarship with real-world relevance, revealing the waqf institution's versatility in advancing social justice, good governance, and sustainable developments across diverse jurisdictions. By weaving together foundations law, labor rights, property law, tax policy, and transnational case studies, this volume invites readers to re-imagine waqf as a dynamic catalyst for collective welfare. Volume III offers indispensable perspectives on how waqf can address today's most pressing legal, social and economic challenges and why its potential matters more than ever.
