A New Paradigm of Land Waqf in the Indonesian Land Law System

The legal system in Indonesia is influenced by several legal systems, including: the customary law system, the Islamic law system and the western legal system. Meanwhile, the Indonesian people who are predominantly Muslim, of course the Islamic legal system has such a broad influence on the Indonesian legal system, one of which is the issue of waqf land rights, which in the Indonesian land law system is regulated in Law No.41 of 2004 concerning Waqf, which later became known as the Waqf Act. In the Waqf Act it was found that there were several differences in principle with previous laws and regulations, such as Government Regulation (PP) No.28 of 1977 concerning Waqf of Owned Land. Because the differences are principal matters, it can be said that the Waqf Act is a new paradigm of waqf land rights in Indonesia.
