FAQ

Common questions

Does our institution need to become a nazhir?

No. Your waqf fund is managed under Nazhir Wakaf Uang Salam Setara, already registered with BWI. Your institution acts as the initiator and sets the fund's direction.

How much can we decide on management and beneficiaries?

You choose the principal management profile and the mauquf alaih, and both are set out in the waqf pledge. Everything stays within sharia principles and applicable waqf regulation.

Are returns guaranteed?

No returns are guaranteed. The waqf principal is preserved and may not be sold or transferred, while returns depend on the performance of the sharia instruments chosen.

What does it cost?

The dashboard and public page are free. The nazhir's share follows the Waqf Law: no more than 10% of net management returns. [Scheme details confirmed by our team]

Who can give to our fund?

Your institution, your employees, business partners, and the wider public through your fund's public page, once or on a recurring basis.
