Waqf land has huge potential in Islamic institutions in terms of economic and social benefits. One of the strategic approaches that have been taken to promote the development of waqf land is through providing waqf housing. Khairuddin et.al. (2017) has proposed procurement models for the development of waqf housing in Malaysia. As an extension of that, this paper aims to highlight the key player and their roles and responsibilities in the development of housing on waqf land in Malaysia. Data were gathered from the secondary resources through desk study and interviews with the representative of the key players involved in the development of housing on waqf land in Malaysia. As a result of this study, it reflects that every key player has different roles and responsibilities in the development of housing on waqf land. Hence, the development of waqf land can achieve a degree of consistency in the key players' roles and responsibilities and help promote the development project of waqf land in Malaysia.
