Waqf Amendment Bill: Amit Shah says no provision of non-Muslim involvement in religious matter
New Delhi: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday addressed concerns regarding the Waqf Amendment Bill, 2025, stating that non-Muslims will not be involved in any religious affairs related to Waqf properties. His remarks came while speaking in the Lok Sabha, where the bill was tabled for consideration and passage.
Shah clarified that non-Muslim members will be included only in the Council and Waqf Board, but their role will be limited to administrative matters concerning properties donated under Waqf law. They will not interfere in religious activities or the management of religious institutions, he assured.
"First of all, no non-Muslim would come into the Waqf. Understand this clearly... There is no such provision to include any non-Muslim among those who manage religious institutions; we do not want to do this," Shah said. He added that there is a misconception being spread that the amendment would interfere with religious practices or Waqf properties, which he claimed was an attempt to mislead the minority community for political reasons.
The Waqf Amendment Bill, 2025, was presented by Union Minority Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju, following recommendations by a Joint Parliamentary Committee. Waqf refers to assets donated solely for religious or charitable purposes under Islamic law, and their use for any other purpose is prohibited.
Shah further emphasized that only property legally owned by an individual can be donated under Waqf law. "A person cannot donate government property or property that belongs to someone else," he said.
