Productive Waqf, Housing Backlog, Systematic Literature ReviewAbstract
This study systematically reviews earlier researches on productive waqf and its role in supporting affordable housing provision. Using the method of Systematic Literature Reviews method, the study screened 1,224 articles from Google Scholars, Scopus, and Crossref, and in the end compiled 20 relevant studies that specifically discuss productive waqf for housing. The review finds that cash and waqf that manage productivity can have great potential in supporting housing affordability, especially for low-and- middle income vulnerable communities in Southeast Asia. Several models discussed in the literature include waqf-based financing schemes, collaboration between government and Islamic financial institutions, and integrated land-cash waqf mechanisms. However, most of the studies remain conceptual and descriptive, and few examine practical policy, governance mechanisms, or socio-economic outcomes. The novelty suggested in this research lies in the structured synthesis of existing models and its identification of theoretical gap, especially related to the connection between Islamic Social-Finance, Maqashid Al-Shariah, and housing welfare. This study also highlights practical implications for stakeholders, including the need for stronger regulation, coordinated stakeholder roles, and innovative waqf-based housing schemes. The review provides a clearer understanding of how productive waqf can be optimized to address the growing housing backlog.
