Abstract

Health is considered as a nucleus to the life of a nation. Absence of it can create disharmony to an individual and society at large. Recent phenomena of COVID-19 pandemic outbreak which has penetrated into the lives of masses has caused major chaos and adverse effect to the health and wellbeing of people globally. No doubt that absence of health may create a magnetic wave to attract abundance of funds for the purpose of mitigating or dealing not only with such pandemic, but for other types of diseases that emerged as well. This is partially because wealth and health have an interrelationship that is hard to separate. This chapter primarily aims to discuss on how Islamic ethical wealth, i.e., waqf has the potential to influence the good health and wellbeing of people. Specifically, this chapter aims to provide a new model of waqf instrument to realize the concept of Islamic ethical wealth. The concept of fairness and justice in Islamic ethical wealth is used in this chapter. Such concept is crucial in distributing wealth and resources for the betterment of health and wellbeing of the masses. This chapter provides solution and suggestion to uphold the primary ethics in wealth through waqf system.
