Abstract

Ideally, zakat should function not only as an instrument for socio-economic empowerment but also as a driver of ecological transformation in responding to the climate crisis. In reality, however, the utilization of zakat to support energy transition and climate-change adaptation remains fragmented, lacks operational models, and is not yet integrated into the national green finance framework. This study aims to formulate a Green Zakat Model that systematically connects Islamic principles, environmental sustainability, and climate mitigation–adaptation strategies. The research employs an exploratory qualitative approach through policy analysis, extensive international literature review, and in-depth interviews with zakat institutions, Islamic economics experts, and green-energy stakeholders. Data were analyzed using thematic coding to identify patterns, opportunities, and barriers to integrating zakat within the green finance ecosystem. The findings show that zakat holds strategic potential to finance community-based energy resilience, low-carbon technologies, ecological rehabilitation, and adaptation programs for vulnerable groups. The proposed model presents a governance framework, maqashid-based green project criteria, and accountability mechanisms aligned with global green finance standards. These results highlight that zakat can serve as a catalyst for an inclusive and socially–ecologically just energy transition.

Abstract

Ideally, zakat functions as a powerful instrument of social justice and poverty alleviation within Muslim communities, including in Somalia—a country with significant zakat potential and urgent socioeconomic needs. In reality, however, weak governance structures, limited transparency, fragile institutions, and low public trust continue to hinder effective zakat management. This situation reflects a gap between the normative aspiration of zakat as a pillar of communal welfare and the suboptimal implementation observed on the ground. This study aims to explore a blockchain-based zakat management model as an innovative approach to enhance transparency, accountability, and distribution efficiency in Somalia. Using a library-based method and a qualitative-descriptive approach, this research examines academic literature, international institutional reports, and publications related to blockchain technology and zakat governance. The findings demonstrate that blockchain enables transparent transaction recording, smart-contract mechanisms for targeted disbursement, and increased public trust in zakat institutions. Thus, blockchain technology holds strategic potential to establish trustworthy, inclusive, and impactful zakat governance, contributing meaningfully to poverty alleviation efforts in Somalia.
