The problem is that waqf properties are thought to be inalienable because they have to remain as waqf in perpetuity, which make the waqf institutions not to use them as collateral for fear of losing them to the financers and the financers are not willing to accept due to legal constrains arising from the same concept of inalienability and perpetuity. To achieve its objective, this study proposes to substitute the concept of perpetuity of the physical being of the subject matter of waqf with one that recognizes the perpetuity of dedication, through assigning value to the object of waqf and amortizing it, so that not only various rights can be accepted as the object of waqf but also make the object alienable. This also opens the door for liquid assets (e.g. cash waqf), so that financing development activities would be carried out by the waqf institutions with ease.
