Abstract |
|
|
| This study aims to shed light on the role of the Islamic Waqf in the equitable distribution of wealth in Jordan between 2015 and 2020. It is the role of the Ministry of Awqaaf and Islamic Affairs as the official government body responsible for the Islamic Waqf in Jordan whose endowment funds directed to mosques, health, education, needy and public sector. The results showed that a disproportionate percentage of spending was directed to the mosques, and the need for the Islamic Waqf to allocate the funds raised from the rich people to support the poor people, and vulnerable population as well as the relevant health education services.
