Taqy Malik Has Not Settled Payment of Rp6.8 Billion, Mosque Threatened with Demolition from Disputed Land

Kapanlagi.com - The land dispute involving Taqy Malik has now become a public spotlight. This is related to the construction of the Malikal Mulki Mosque, which is allegedly taking place on legally disputed land. This case has drawn public attention after a viral video circulated on social media revealing that the land where the mosque stands has not been fully paid for, raising questions about the mosque's waqf status.

Taqy Malik is known to have purchased eight plots of land in the Bogor area from entrepreneur Sirhan on June 17, 2022. However, until now, he has not settled the payment of Rp6.8 billion.

1. Chronology of Land Dispute

A series of facts circulating state that Taqy purchased eight plots of land for an agreed value of around Rp9 billion, but by a certain deadline, payment was still not completed. From the total of Rp9 billion, Taqy has only paid Rp2.2 billion. This leaves a debt of Rp6.8 billion that has not been settled. The two problematic plots are said to have already been used for the construction of a mosque while the payment issue remains unresolved.

2. Response from the Land Owner

The land owner, represented by his legal counsel, stated that he has pursued civil litigation and won the lawsuit in court. Husen Bafaddal, the attorney for Sirhan, emphasized that this case is a civil dispute over the sale and purchase, not a dispute over waqf. The legal process has even gone to the appellate level, so now the owner is demanding payment or the vacating of the disputed plots.

"It has been more than 2 years since he has not fulfilled the terms of the agreement," stated Sirhan's lawyer, Husen Bafaddal, at a press conference in Condet, East Jakarta on Thursday, October 2, 2025.

3. Deliver Persuasive Efforts

The plaintiff's lawyer stated that persuasive efforts have been made but did not receive good faith from Taqy Malik, leading them to demand execution if the obligations are not fulfilled. This decision requires the vacating of the land, except for one unit of the house that is occupied.

"Because the mosque was built, we offered, 'Just return the six plots including the model house to us. The two plots where the mosque is built, we will give,'" said Sirhan's legal team.

4. The Donation Collection Controversy

The issue then escalated into allegations of misappropriation of donation funds: several parties accused the fundraising initiated for the mosque's construction of being used for personal interests, including claims that one of the plots of land has a house on it, although these allegations remain in the public domain and have gone viral on platforms like TikTok. These accusations triggered various reactions and requests for clarification from the public.

5. Construction of Mosque and Private House

On land that has not been fully paid off, Taqy Malik has built the Malikal Mulki Mosque and a private house. This adds complexity to the existing dispute. Moreover, the land sale agreement is in the name of Taqy Malik personally, not under the name of a foundation or waqf. This has drawn attention because the land was supposed to be used for the construction of a mosque.

6. Response from Taqy Malik
