Hajj Funds Management Based on Maq ā ṣ id Al-Shar ī ʿ ah ; A Proposal for Indonesian Context

: Indonesian hajj funds (BIPH) have the potential to support the implementation of hajj worship in an effective, efficient, transparent, and accountable manner while complying with Islamic law. However, it is said that the management turned out to be ineffective and unprofessional. This research aims to examine the management of hajj funds in detail using maq ā ṣ id al-shar ī ʿ ah perspective to propose a breakthrough for its better management.


Introduction
As the world's largest Muslim country, Indonesia contributes a lot of Hajj pilgrims every year.This is partly supported by its constitution which guarantees Indonesians to worship following their respective religions and beliefs.In addition to formulating and enforcing the constitution, the government is also in charge of planning and organizing the hajj.They are supposed to guide, give service, and protect Indonesian citizens in a safe, comfortable, orderly, and compliance with the provisions of the shari'ah. 1n addition to the problem of organizing the pilgrimage, another issue is the relationship between the country of prospective pilgrims and the country of destination, namely Saudi Arabia.Indonesia receives many hajj quotas.In 2023, Indonesia got the largest hajj quota in the world.It is recorded that Indonesia's hajj quota reached 221,000 pilgrims, consisting of 203,320 quotas for regular hajj pilgrims and 17,680 quotas for special hajj pilgrims.Even if there are a lot of quotas in the current year, they aren't adequate to fulfill the al-Ihkam: Jurnal Hukum dan Pranata Sosial, 18 (2), 2023: 544-567 demand as indicated by the number of applicants which rises annually resulting in the long waiting list of hajj. 2 The waiting list for Hajj departure is determined by the time of registration when paying the Hajj Travel Fee or so-called BIPIH (Cost of Organizing the Hajj Pilgrimage). 3This BIPIH is deposited by prospective pilgrims for registration fees to receive a portion of the departure.The Law No. 13 of 2008 mentions that the management is only limited to its optimal use and development in the form of bank instruments whose security is truly guaranteed.Thus, the policies made by the government enabled the funds to be used for the general welfare of the community in line with the objectives of the founding fathers of the Republic of Indonesia. 4However, academicians and practitioners consider that the existing legal basis was not sufficient, so a separate law was needed that regulates the management of hajj funds at a more specific scope.
According to Law no.34/2014 on Hajj Funds Management, the term hajj funds (BIPH) consists of BIPIH deposit funds; efficiency funds; DAU (Endowment Fund of The Ummah) as well as the value of benefits controlled by the state in the context of organizing the hajj and implementing program activities for the benefit of Muslims. 5 Due to the limited hajj quota each year, there will certainly be a build-up of hajj funds from a large number of applicants on the waiting list.This certainly requires a more well-organized management of the funds.It was manifested by the establishment of a special financial institution with the authority to manage the hajj funds called the Hajj Financial Management Agency (BPKH) on 26 July 2017 .6It is a public legal entity that is independent and responsible to the President through the Minister of Religious Affairs.The structure of BPKH consists of an executive body and a supervisory board responsible for managing the revenue, development, expenditure, and accountability of the Hajj funds.
The management of hajj funds following their objectives is important to discuss considering the large number of hajj funds managed by BPKH so as not to deviate from the initial goal of financing the pilgrimage, let alone from various perspectives embedded in maqāṣid al-sharīʿah.This research would therefore discuss it from the perspective of mâqasid as a philosophy of Islamic law with its continuously developed concept concerning various basic aspects of people's common needs in the context of Indonesia.
Recently, there has been a paradigm shift from classical maqasid sharia theory to the contemporary one.The change lies in the main benefit as the target to manifest, namely the protection and preservation aspects because the contemporary maqasid sharia is more about development and rights.To develop the concept, Jasser Auda proposes human development as the main target.He developed the current conception of maqasid as an evolution of the old theory which in the context of hifdz mal prioritized social concerns; paying attention to economic development and improvement; and advancing human welfare while eliminating the gap between the rich and the poor.
Previous research discussing the management of hajj in Indonesia from several aspects, factors, and indicators still requires further development.Hajj in terms of political factors, among others, was discussed by Ichwan.He found that the complexity of hajj and umrah services is not so much caused by religious aspects, but rather by political aspects and economic motives. 7From the aspect of economy, Kouchi et al. 8 studied the relationship between the growth in the number of Hajj pilgrims and economic growth in Saudi Arabia.The increase in the number of people performing hajj has a major impact on Saudi Arabia's economic progress.The annual hajj and umrah could play an increasingly important role in economic growth and development.In a broad general sense, religious tourism plays an important role as a foreign exchange earner, job creator, and tool for improving the balance of payments.Its contribution to economic prosperity, if planned well, can be greater than that of any other known economic force.
Another study by Kurniadi,et.al 9 who examined the management of hajj funds from an economic theory found that BPKH can function as a representative of the government in the management and development of hajj funds.Aziz, 10 meanwhile, examines the Hahslm theory as a guide to the straight path in managing the hajj funds.The large number of prospective pilgrims doing registration compared to the available quota means that in normal circumstances, a pilgrim would have to wait an average of 19 years.If he/she has paid a down payment of IDR 25 million, it results in a large accumulation of pilgrims' funds.So far, it is placed in bank deposits which are only guaranteed IDR 2 billion by the deposit insurance agency (LPS).It would be a shame, for him, to find that quite a large of hajj funds were managed without playing a significant role in the productive sector.
Based on previous research, it is clear that most researchers still focus on the issue of hajj in politics, economy, and religious aspects.There are still few who concentrate on studying the management of hajj funds in Indonesia through the newer concept of maqāṣid al-sharīʿah.Therefore, this current research examines the issue so that it can propose a breakthrough for better hajj funds management based on maqāṣid al-sharīʿah.We hope the proposal will help for better hajj funds management in the Indonesian context by firstly portraying Indonesian hajj management in general, the hajj funds management according to maqāṣid al-sharīʿah, and a proposal for better hajj funds management in the Indonesian context. 9Dece Kurniadi, Jamal Wiwoho, and Hudi Asrori, "Hajj Fund Management in Perspective of the Financial Theory and Fiqh," International Conference on Globalization of Law and Local Wisdom 358, no.34 (2019)

Method
This research uses a qualitative approach with normative juridical methods.Data sources include primary and secondary ones.Primary data is obtained directly from the source, namely journal articles, books, magazines, and other articles that have relevance to the problems and objects of research, while secondary is indirectly from the object under study. 11The data analysis used is descriptivequalitative so that the problems and facts are described descriptively and then analyzed to obtain a complete picture. 12ata related to the management of hajj funds are then processed through the steps of managing and organizing data, reading and recording emerging ideas, describing and classifying codes, developing and accessing interpretations, and then representing and visualizing data.This spiral analysis is equipped with content analysis, a comparative and critical analysis of hajj laws and regulations using the perspective of Islamic legal theory.The maqasid al-syariah theory in this research is used to analyze the management of hajj funds related to the hifz mâl aspect so that researchers will be able to draw precise and profound conclusions.

Result and Discussion An Overview of Indonesian Existing Hajj Management
The organization of hajj in Indonesia has a long history of policy or regulatory aspects.Before the founding of the Republic of Indonesia, Muslims had performed pilgrimages to the holy land of Saudi Arabia.In around 1267 when the Islamic empire existed in the archipelago, there were no special regulations regarding the hajj.Only after the Dutch colonial government came to power did the pilgrimage have regulations in the form of written positive law. 13uring the colonial period, the Dutch colonial government was worried about people going to the hajj.The reason is that when they were in Mecca, there was no longer any caste, race, or positionbased discrimination, so it was worrying that the pilgrims realized al-Ihkam: Jurnal Hukum dan Pranata Sosial, 18 (2), 2023: 544-567 that everyone had the same rights, and this could trigger a rebellion.The Dutch were furthermore concerned about the political impact of the hajj because people returning from the hajj were accepted as holy people in Java.For this reason, it is believed that hajj pilgrims are more listened to by ordinary people, so the Dutch government made strict regulations relating to the hajj. 14ince the founding of Indonesia as a republic, efforts to deal with issues regarding the organization of the hajj have been formulated.The Ministry of Religious Affairs has a central role as a regulator of the hajj and the management of its funds.Although the government is the one in charge of organizing the hajj service, in practice, it is divided into two, namely the government and private companies that have received permission from the Minister of Religion so called KBIH (Guiding Group of Hajj Worship).However, the latter still engages the Ministry of Religious Affairs, particularly in monitoring and guiding the duties to ensure they comply with the stipulated provisions.Historically, the service of the hajj pilgrimage in Indonesia was handled directly by the community or the private sector, then during the reign of President Soeharto, the responsibility was taken over by the government after cases of neglect by private parties occurred. 15PHI, The Indonesian Hajj Management Agency, is the institution responsible for managing the hajj in Indonesia.It is tasked with providing the services and facilities needed by hajj pilgrims, mainly when in Saudi Arabia, ranging from accommodation, transportation, food, and health, to protection and security.In recent years, it has often been in the public spotlight due to various problems 16 that occur during the hajj process as reported in the annual report of the hajj service.Based on the Hajj Organizing Evaluation Report, it was found that problems that arose during the Hajj pilgrimage are as follows: First is the problem of the long waiting period before the departure time.Future Indonesian Hajj pilgrims must wait for approximately 20-25 years to perform the hajj worship from the time they pay the BIPIH.This is due to the limited quota provided by the Saudi Arabian government on the one hand and the high number of registrations among the future pilgrims on another hand.
The second is health problems.While in Saudi Arabia, many hajj pilgrims experience health problems, such as dehydration, heatstroke, and respiratory infections.This is mainly caused by very hot weather as well as pilgrims' old age17 and lack of knowledge of preparation in dealing with the situation.Apart from that, health problems also occur due to the lack of adequate health facilities, let alone that of Indonesian authorities.Meanwhile, it is reported that the catering distribution service is sometimes not on time along with a monotonous menu that cannot meet the needs of the elderly congregation.There is also a report about the unavailability of food before departure to Arafat and after leaving Mina.
Third is accommodation problems.While in Saudi Arabia, hajj pilgrims stay in dormitories provided by the government.However, many complain that the facility is inadequate, such as having poor hygiene and lack of adequate water, electricity, and sanitation facilities, as well as exceeding capacities rooms.This causes Hajj pilgrims to feel uncomfortable during their stay, thereby disrupting the smooth running of their pilgrimage.Out of the dormitory, pilgrims also stayed in tents during the Arafah, Muzdalifah, and Mina in which there were over-capacity tents along with limited bathrooms causing long queues with inadequate facilities for elderly pilgrims.
Fourth is transportation problems.Transportation is very important during the hajj.However, many pilgrims have trouble getting adequate transportation.Apart from that, the transportation schedules are quite irregular causing pilgrims to wait a long time to reach their destination, such as delays in buses picking up Indonesian al-Ihkam: Jurnal Hukum dan Pranata Sosial, 18 (2), 2023: 544-567 pilgrims while in Muzdalifah. 18Moreover, transportation services are not yet able to reach all accommodations.
Fifth is service problems.The services provided by BPHI are also often criticized by the public.Many pilgrims complained about the lack of coordination between BPHI officers and officials in Saudi Arabia, causing pilgrims to experience difficulties in getting adequate services.Apart from that, there were also complaints regarding the attitude of BPHI officers who were less friendly and less responsive to complaints and problems experienced by hajj pilgrims.
Among the six problems, the Muzdalifah tragedy has attracted the most public attention.The Muzdalifah tragedy was the moment when thousands of Indonesian hajj pilgrims piled up and could not be transported for more than 10 hours in hot conditions above 35 degrees Celsius.This condition resulted in many congregants experiencing dehydration and even fainting.At that time, on June 28, 2023, thousands of pilgrims from Indonesia were stuck in the Muzdalifah area because the Muzdalifah-Mina-Muzdalifah shuttle bus was stuck in the Mina area due to traffic jams.
To overcome these problems, BPHI needs to make various efforts, such as improving coordination with the Saudi Arabian government and advancing facilities.The Indonesian hospitals located in Saudi are among the most important ones in addition to accommodation of pilgrims like dormitory and transportation services.Since Indonesia does not have any assets for accommodation, a selective search of the chosen one must be ensured.Professionalism and responsiveness to cope with complaints from hajj pilgrims also deserve attention, let alone in dealing with or anticipating any unexpected situation.Security and safety aspects of pilgrims should be inevitably the main concern.Every year, some incidents occur during the pilgrimage season, such as transportation accidents, riots in holy places, and so on. 19n short, it is necessary to evaluate the existing hajj management system and service, so that better and more effective solutions can be arranged in overcoming various typical problems.This includes things ranging from enlarging annual quotas to ensuring every detail is well set from the departure to arrival times.By making these various efforts, it is hoped that the hajj worship for Indonesian pilgrims can run better and more smoothly while giving them a positive spiritual experience.This public satisfaction will lead to public trust along with a decrease in public criticism.
One of the potential instruments to overcome those disadvantages in the hajj service and organization comes from the BIPIH deposit that the future pilgrims pay for getting the portion or seats.Under good and appropriate management, it likely affects in positive ways for development of both hajj service and Indonesian/Muslim life in general.The upcoming part will reveal the proposal for the use and allocation of the fund according to maqashid al-shari'ah as the philosophy of Islamic law.

Management of Indonesian Hajj Funds on Maqāṣid Al-Sharīʿah Perspective
Hajj funds are all types of wealth that can be valued in money, whether in the form of cash or goods resulting from pilgrims' deskposted payment (BIPIH) and other related sources.It is the government's right and obligation to manage them well.BPKH has a precautionary principle in managing hajj funds, namely by carrying it out in a beneficial, transparent, and accountable manner while considering financial risks.The principle of beneficial means that hajj financial management must provide benefits for pilgrims and Muslims.The principle of transparency indicates open and honest financial management by providing information to the public regarding its allocation and implementation.Meanwhile, the principle of accountability is the accurate management of hajj funds that enable the community, especially the pilgrims, to account for them. 20he service of hajj provides a stimulus for the economy both in the micro and macro scope.This became the basis for the Indonesian government in managing the hajj funds reaching trillions of rupiah in the form of investment.For instance, according to BPKH records, if al-Ihkam: Jurnal Hukum dan Pranata Sosial, 18 (2), 2023: 544-567 154,455 Indonesian pilgrims were sent out in 2015 and each of them paid IDR 20 million, the total amount of money collected would have been IDR 3.09 trillion.In the meantime, it is conceivable that the amount of money that BPKH can manage could approach hundreds of trillions if the number of pilgrims on the waiting list surpasses one million, diverting IDR 20 million.The government potentially makes this calculation very profitably by using gold coins, direct investment, SBSN (State Sharia Securities), or other Sharia-compliant investment funds. 21n line with it, maqāṣid al-sharīʿah as a framework for developing theories, models, policies, and reform programs in various aspects of life, is deemed relevant to use as a perspective in managing the hajj funds.In this case, moreover, the hajj is also a dharuriyyat (primary need) that the government must facilitate worship which is also included in the pillars of Islam and therefore, in the perspective of maqāṣid, is a part of maintaining religion. 22ccording to maqāṣid al-sharīʿah, maslahah (benefit) should be the target to realize through Islamic law, as is the case in the financial management of the hajj considering that hajj is one of the devotional rituals that include a great deal of maqāṣid. 23he highest level of maṣlahah is called maqāṣid al-khamsah (the five main purposes) due to its ḍarūriyāt (urgency) aspect.The maintenance of religion shows that the role of religion is very important.The maintenance of soul, mind, and offspring, meanwhile, relates to individual humans.All three are related to human life needs, namely physical, psychological, educational, health, and survival needs.Asset maintenance, in this talk, is every action carried out in asset management. 24According to Zakiruddin,et.al.,25 one of the developments in the maqāṣid al-sharīʿah paradigm is hifdzul maal which is not only about protecting material or assets but also development toward at-tanmiyyatul iqtishadiyah (economic growth) based on maqaashid al-khoshoh (special benefit) in maintaining the sustainability of people's assets.In this context, hajj funds must be safeguarded for the sake of benefit, so that the investment is not only oriented towards the profit aspect but also the welfare (falah) as an ideal situation in the development of Islamic economics.Therefore, in this context, one of the developments of maqāṣid al-khosoh is hifdzu almaal attanmiyyah al iqtishadiyah.It refers to efforts to protect assets and use them to improve the economy with the aim of providing welfare to society and helping the needs of people who cannot afford it.This accentuates the necessity to maintain the ethical aspect in the whole related process so that it can be in accordance with the objectives of the Shari'a.Table 1 outlines the ideal situation of hajj funds management using maqashid shariah as the approach for the allocation of hajj pilgrims' needs.This furthermore implies that management of hajj funds must be carried out by prioritizing security aspects, namely in anticipating the risk of loss in the hajj fund investment.This includes the risk of reputation, market, operations, or an inherent one.The protection of prospective pilgrims' assets from any decrease in value becomes urgent because they are saved during the waiting period which can take place a plenty of years.If someone pays the cost this year amounting to IDR 25 million and he will go for hajj later in 20 years while inflation is 6% per year, there will be much money he can set aside during that period.
Table 1 also explains the ideal alignment of hajj financial management policies by BPKH in accordance with Maqāṣid al-Shari'ah.It is necessary, therefore, to manage hajj funds according to the objectives of maqāṣid al-sharīʿah while maintaining integrity in the management process starting from the cost payment process among hajj pilgrims to the return and financial inclusion after hajj. 27Based on the maqāṣid al-sharī'ah concept, financial management of the hajj can be said to be successful if the aspects of dharuriyat needs are met, namely food, drink, and shelter.In the maqāṣid al-sharī'ah perspective, management of the hajj funds is therefore not limited to the protection of religion (hifz al-diin) and property (hifz al-maal), but also to the sustainability of economic improvement and development.Apart from that, the value of the benefits of the funds can be used to improve infrastructure beneficial to the community.Good infrastructure will certainly have a positive impact on the national economy, social facilities, education, health, etc.This is what is expected from Indonesian BPKH's professional, responsible, and transparent management of hajj funds. 28The hajj in general was regulated in Law No. 13/2008.It contains many verses about hajj service, including those related to the hajj funds.Article 1 verse 8 mentions that hajj cost or so called BIPIH is the cost to pay for getting hajj service.In practice, The Law was then completed by another one, namely a more specific Law regulating the management of hajj funds, the Hajj Financial Management Law No. 34/2014.Article 48 Paragraph 2 of the Law requires the management of hajj funds to accord with Sharia principles with aspects of security, prudence, useful value, and liquidity.Then, Article 49 Paragraph 1 stated that investments in hajj funds can be made with the approval of the BPKH supervisory board.Apart from that, several other articles in the Law become the legal basis for BPKH in making investments. 29n this talk, there are two correlating terms that are often incorrectly interchanged, namely hajj funds and Ummah Endowment Fund (DAU).This is likely because, in Law Number 34 of 2014, hajj funds are defined as funds consisting of hajj cost or BIPIH, efficiency funds for organizing the hajj, DAU, as well as the value of benefits controlled by the state in the context of organizing the hajj and implementing activity programs for the benefit of Muslims.Meanwhile, the DAU, which is a part of hajj funds, is several funds that, before the enactment of the Law, were obtained from the development of the funds and/or remaining operational costs of hajj as well as other sources that are halal and non-binding following the provisions of statutory regulations such as zakat, waqf, and other funds source.

Management of Hajj
Furthermore, Law No. 34 of 2014 mentions that the government places hajj funds in Sharia financial institutions which are limited to a maximum of 50%, while other funds are directly invested in Sharia instruments which are considered safe and provide much better returns.The investment of hajj funds becomes a must considering long queues of departure so that the hajj cost in the bank is made for investment to make their value not eroded by inflation.Instead, it can provide benefits to the community through, among others, DAU schemes.DAU is typically used for social activities such as improving the quality of hajj services, education, da'wa, health, social, and economic, and religious infrastructure. 30eanwhile, the hajj cost or BIPIH covers flight costs, accommodation costs in Mecca and Medina as well as living costs for hajj pilgrims.Each prospective hajj pilgrim had to deposit the initial BIPIH cost into the bank to get a portion or seat.Afterward, when it is time for departure, they will pay off according to the total BIPIH amount determined later according to the currency.The deposited fund from the initial payment of prospective hajj pilgrims, which has now reached 40 trillion rupiahs with an average interest of 1 trillion rupiahs managed by the Ministry of Religious Affair, is used to subsidize the needs of hajj pilgrims who depart first.However, this practice has minimal legal support because, without the pilgrims' consent, the interest from their savings (through the initial payment they made) is potentially prone to irregularities and fraud as indicated by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). 31espite this, the use of deposited funds triggers various problems and/or requirements. 32irst, the Ministry of Religious Affairs is publicly required to enforce accountability in managing the initial funds for registration of hajj candidates amounting to IDR 25,000,000.00 which is deposited from the time of getting the hajj portion in Siskohaj (Indonesian hajj application) until the time of departure.BPKH as the one that manages hajj funds needs to pay attention to accountability regarding transparency and how to present financial reports of managed funds.Along with that, the government and BPKH must guarantee that the deposited money will be used to provide adequate services during the hajj worship while ensuring that future pilgrims' financial rights are fulfilled, namely regarding to departure for Hajj.For instance, if a future hajj pilgrim cancels the departure, BPKH is required to return the deposit. 33al-Ihkam: Jurnal Hukum dan Pranata Sosial, 18 (2), 2023: 544-567   Second, the status of legal ownership of the initial funds for registration of hajj candidates is in question, whether it belongs to the future hajj pilgrims or the government as the hajj organizer or service provider.Therefore, it is important to make clear the legal ownership of the fund through transparent management and funding allocation considering that hajj deposit funds are deposited in the account of the Minister of Religion.This clear status will also affect the upcoming situation when something unexpected happens.If the registrar dies or there is a sharia obstacle that makes him/her fail to depart, then hajj deposit funds must be returned to prospective hajj pilgrims or their heirs.
Third, Law No. 13 of 2008 gives authority to carry out an efficiency fund, i.e. remaining funds from the operational cost of hajj service through the DAU which the amount is quite large.However, these funds cannot be used for investment or any other purpose because there are no government regulations regarding the management of DAU that cannot be changed since May 2005. 34The policy to make efficiency funds in the hajj service contains legal gaps in both state and religious law.For the former, it is argued that no single clause was stated by the hajj pilgrims regarding the agreement on utilizing the efficiency fund.Thus, the efficiency policy is deemed to violate the law.Meanwhile, for the latter, even though the DAU aims for the benefit of people, the agreement and willingness of the whole hajj pilgrims is in question.It is very important to think about the pledge and agreement among the hajj pilgrims who willingly deposit their money to get the departure portion or seat.In dealing with the problems, namely those related to DAU and BPKH recommends the funds be returned for the interests and benefit of the ummah, as per the results of the Ijtima' Ulama of the All-Indonesian Fatwa Commission III MUI 1430 H/2009 AD in Padang Panjang, 24-26 January 2009.Fourth, prospective hajj pilgrims might become banking business commodities with the offer of a hajj bailout system.In this case, prospective hajj pilgrims become the target to receive a loan facility numbering IDR 25,000,000.00 so that they can register to immediately receive hajj portions.In other words, the banking business seizes a good market opportunity to expand its customers by providing hajj funding to fulfill the wishes of prospective hajj pilgrims, so they don't get too far on the waiting list. 35n short, BPKH needs to manifest its function of carrying out planning, implementation, as well as accountability checking and reporting of hajj funds in compliance with sharia while prioritizing the principle of prudence, benefits-based, not seeking profits, transparency, and accountability. 36The criteria for optimal, professional, and efficient management of hajj funds is the policy after the hajj season.If there is greater efficiency and benefit value, it must be returned to the hajj treasury belonging to the hajj pilgrims.Meanwhile, the transparent criteria of hajj funds management can be reached by involving the House of Representatives in the supervision process and BPK in the auditing stage.
Law Number 34 of 2014 concerning Hajj Financial Management urges the Hajj funds to be used for productive things and managed with high-risk mitigation.Therefore, the government can use these funds in halal sectors, namely sectors that are protected from maisir, gharar, and usury.In determining the investment sector, it needs approval from the Hajj financial placement supervisory board while the investment is transferred from the Hajj Treasury to the BPKH Treasury (Hajj Financial Management Agency).In fact, the government-through the Indonesian Ministry of Religious Affairsclaimed that it had managed the DAU successfully through, among Following the mandate of the Law, according to Anggito Abimanyu, BPKH's investments can be made in sharia securities investment instruments, gold, direct investment, and other investments.The wide scope of this investment is a challenge for BPKH, especially to carry out an effective investment strategy to optimize the value of its benefits.Another challenge is how to anticipate the increase in the cost of performing the hajj pilgrimage.Therefore, BPKH needs to carry out an investment strategy that can meet the needs of these costs through returns from various investment instruments complying with Sharia principles, prudence, and liquidity without raising the hajj cost. 38Investment risks are borne by the government and should not disturb the process of providing good facilities for the Hajj pilgrims.Meanwhile, profits obtained from investments must be used for improving hajj facilities at specific and public benefits in general.This can be in the form of financing the construction of schools and campuses within PTKIN with the SBSN scheme.
So far, there are three main instruments for placing initial deposits for BIPIH, namely in the form of national Sharia Securities (Sukuk/SBSN), government debt securities (SUN), and Sharia-based deposits.One of the ways how the government carries out the financial management of hajj funds is the issuance of State Sharia Securities (SBSN), in this case, the Indonesian Hajj Fund Sukuk (SDHI) product.This accords with the decision of Ulama Ijtima, Indonesian Fatwa Commission IV of 2012 which mentions that deposits in the waiting list for hajj departure may be allocated for productive things, namely providing profits through placement in Sharia Banking or invested in the form of sukuk 39 In line with this, according to the Director of Higher Affairs which has succeeded in building educational infrastructure at PTKIN (State Islamic Religious College) for six years with a total budget of 7-8 trillion rupiahs should be appreciated.The implementation of educational infrastructure development through SBSN which began in 2015 until 2022 has been running well and PTKIN has benefited from that sector as well.
The importance of investment requires professionalism in its management, including its supervision process.Not only that, but the supervision also needs to be narrowed down, mainly by exploring how the benefits of the investment can be obtained both for the benefit of the institution and the pilgrims themselves.They are the basic principles of Islamic economics to support the distribution of resources and encourage investment, optimize beneficial investment, and encourage investment, optimize beneficial investment, and encourage social participation in the public interest.

Conclusion
The management of hajj funds in the perspective of maqāṣid alsharī'ah has the aim of benefiting the hajj pilgrims not only to fulfill the obligation of the fifth pillar of Islam or maintaining religion (hifz ad-din), but also on other related aspects to ensure smooth running service of hajj.Therefore, it is suggested the deposited funds of BIPIH be managed transparently with the allocation made appropriate to the pilgrim's needs, both physical and spiritual.Other than that, in the Indonesian context, the funds are best invested in various sectors beneficial for the ummah with the minimum risk of loss so that it would not bear expenses for the hajj costs.The refinement of pledges on the use of investment or funds between pilgrims and the government is also a need.This research has limitations, especially in terms of methodology and limited analysis of formal aspects.Therefore, it is suggested that further research is needed to develop this research by examining the management of hajj funds in Muslim countries other than Indonesia, as well as further research using other variables to expand the study of hajj funds management.
