The missing person issue has recently become the issue of the world, especially after the Malaysian Airlines MH370 tragedy a few years ago. In Islam, the missing person is known as ‘Al-Mafqud’. One of the largest issue is how the management of missing person’s properties which can also affect country and their heirs. Management of missing person’s properties is different as compared to management of inheritance properties. Uncertain status of person’s life or death creates the conflict and their property needs to be frozen due to law constraints either in Malaysia civil or syariah law. This phenomenon raises many issues and problems that become increasingly critical and extremely difficult to resolve. Besides, if the muslim’s properties do not develop, it can cause detrimental effect to the muslim community. In Islam, the wastage of wealth resource is highly discouraged because it will cause significant impact to the Muslims. Moreover, if the property is used wisely, it will give a positive impact to the society, economy and education. On that matter, in 1982 National Fatwa Committee has already given the decree that the government has the right to acquire or use any form of property that is not used for public interest. But until now, no effective measures have been taken by the government to ensure that these issues can be dealt with properly. Hence, this research addresses the management of missing person’s properties in the Maqasid Syariah dimensions. Â
