Abstract

This paper explores the role of governance in Malaysia Islamic councils in managing waqf and the integrity of the councils in ensuring the efficiencies of the decision made. Governance mechanisms such as the Board's monitoring and control are necessary to secure public confidence and accountability. However, governance practices in Islamic councils vary across states and this variation may have implications for the ethical practices of practitioners. Understanding the relationship between governance and ethics in Islamic councils is essential for promoting good practices and preserving the integrity of waqf institutions. To attain a comprehensive understanding of this relationship, we adopted a qualitative research approach, conducting a series of in-depth interviews with selected Islamic councils across Malaysia. Through this method, we unearthed valuable insights that can prove invaluable to policymakers, scholars, and practitioners who are dedicated to fortifying governance structures within Islamic councils and advocating for ethical conduct. By shedding light on the complexities and variations in governance practices, this paper aims to contribute significantly to the enhancement of these institutions, fostering their capacity to effectively manage waqf assets and ensuring ethical behavior across the board.
