Meanwhile, from the Siwak application from the Ministry of Religion for Ponorogo Regency until March 2022, there were 277 hectares of waqf land, of which 80.67 hectares or 24.09% were certified, and 196.33 hectares were not certified or around 75.91%. From the latest Siwak data from the Ministry of Religion for East Java Province, there are 4,831.73 hectares of waqf land, 2,225.35 hectares of certified land or about 45% and 2,606.38 hectares of uncertified waqf land or about 55%.
