Abstract

Background: This article aims to analyze the epistemological construction of professional zakat in contemporary fiqh discourse, examine the argumentative basis of its arguments, and evaluate its relevance in the perspective of maqāṣid al-sharī'ah and modern economics as a response to global economic structural transformation dominated by the service and professional sectors. Method: The research uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive-comparative analysis method of contemporary scholars' views on professional zakat. The analysis was conducted through a study of naqlī arguments (the Qur'an and hadith), 'aqlī arguments (qiyas and istinbat), and the maqāṣidī approach. Primary data sources included classical and contemporary fiqh literature, fatwas from scholars, and empirical research on the implementation of professional zakat in various Muslim countries. Results: The study identified three epistemological groups of scholars: mūjibūn (obligatory), mujīzūn ghayr mūjibīn (permissible without being obligatory), and māni'ūn (prohibited). The mūjibūn group, represented by Qaradawi and Az-Zuhaili, builds its argument based on the generality of the text (QS. Al-Baqarah: 267, QS. At-Taubah: 103), qiyas (analogy) to agricultural zakat, and the principle of distributive justice. The potential for professional zakat reaches 51.2% of the total national zakat potential, but the realization is only 8.3%, indicating a significant gap. From the maqāṣid perspective, professional zakat has ḍarūriyyah urgency to realize wealth redistribution and socio-economic justice. Conclusion: The implementation of professional zakat requires a comprehensive framework that integrates sharia principles with modern economic realities, strengthens the governance of zakat institutions, standardizes calculation mechanisms, and harmonizes with the taxation system to optimize the potential of zakat as a sharia-based fiscal instrument in poverty alleviation and inclusive economic development

Abstract

The digital platform-based gig economy has transformed employment relations through flexibility, autonomy, efficiency, and expanded access to economic opportunities. Despite these benefits, it also raises concerns regarding contractual ambiguity, income insecurity, unequal bargaining power, algorithmic control, and the distribution of risks that may disadvantage workers. Existing studies on the gig economy have largely focused on labor, economic, regulatory, and technological dimensions, while the reconstruction of work ethics based on Prophetic traditions and contextualized through maqāṣid al-sharī’ah remains relatively limited. This study aims to analyze the principles of work ethics in Prophetic traditions and their relevance to justice in employment relations within the gig economy. Using a qualitative method and a thematic hadith approach (mauḍū’ī), the study identifies, classifies, and interprets Prophetic traditions concerning work ethics, itqān, contracts, wages, workers’ rights, gharar, and ẓulm, and subsequently contextualizes them within platform-based work through the perspective of maqāṣid al-sharī’ah. The analysis demonstrates that Prophetic work ethics emphasize work quality, contractual clarity, fair remuneration, timely payment, fulfillment of workers’ rights, and protection from injustice as interconnected principles. The maqāṣid al-sharī’ah perspective further broadens the analysis by emphasizing the protection of wealth, life, welfare, justice, and human dignity. The gig economy is not inherently incompatible with Islamic ethics; rather, its central ethical challenge concerns how technology, flexibility, power, benefits, and risks are distributed within employment relations. Accordingly, integrating Prophetic traditions with maqāṣid al-sharī’ah provides an ethical framework for promoting a transparent, just, protective, and human-centered governance of the gig economy.
