The purpose of this study is to identify the important elements of Waqf Mu’aqqat integration in the management of abandoned agricultural land. The Fuzzy Delphi Method (FDM) approach is utilized to obtained consensus from 10 experts regarding the crucial elements of Waqf Mu’aqqat for the integration. This study employs questionnaire divided into two main parts: Part I – expert demographic information, and Part II – elements found in Waqf Mu’aqqat, including duration, flexibility, waqf donor and waqf beneficiaries. The data obtained is analyze using Fuzzy Triangular Numbering, while rankings are determined through the Defuzzification Process. The results of the study indicate that all elements of Waqf Mu’aqqat meets FDM criteria, with a threshold value (d) of less than 0.2, expert consensus exceeding 75%, and a fuzzy score (A) exceeding 0.5. Overall, it can be concluded that the integration of waqf based on the agreed-upon elements by the experts is highly significant in the management of abandoned agricultural land in Malaysia.
