Abstract

Islamic social finance instruments can be adopted to restore and achieve a healthy life and promote welfare after COVID-19, integrated with SDGs number three. As Islamic social finance instruments, Zakat, Infaq, Sadaqah, and Waqf play a significant role in solving marginalization and vulnerability that focus on local programs, thus impacting social and economic inclusion. Using a literature review approach, the objective of this paper is to examine the role of Islamic social finance instruments as alternative funding to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) number three, "Good Health and Well-being," which is also in line with the recovery of COVID-19 in the healthcare sector. The results of this study indicate that Islamic Social Finance can solve the problem of economic funding due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In the short term, building and repairing primary health facilities, providing affordable health services, and providing access to health insurance for people experiencing poverty are actions that need to be realized immediately. As for the medium term, post-COVID-19, mental recovery and consultation efforts must be intensified. Investments in technology for telemedicine or telemedicine facilities and reforms in the post-pandemic COVID-19 health sector must be addressed and pursued. Based on current findings, this study recommends a synergy for all countries to jointly achieve the SDG number three target while restoring global socio-economic conditions post-COVID-19.

Abstract

This research explores how Indonesian millennials are responding to the significant costs of the Hajj pilgrimage and the financial strategies they employ to save up. The average waiting period for Hajj in Indonesia stretches to a prolonged 24 years, and this is made even more challenging by the increasing age of those currently registered, which effectively lengthens the wait time for younger, prospective pilgrims. This situation, combined with anticipated increases in historical costs and financial hurdles, may make it more challenging for future pilgrims to pay the initial deposit, potentially leading to even higher Hajj expenses in the future. Using a qualitative approach with thematic analysis, the study gathered primary data through semi-structured interviews with 11 Indonesian millennials. The findings reveal that all respondents find the total Hajj costs excessive, with the initial deposit presenting an opportunity cost for those earning below the minimum wage. A common trend, especially among low- to middle-income groups, is a preference for gold as an investment. High-income respondents are more proactive, aiming to cover the initial Hajj deposit in under five years by dedicating 10-15% of their income to specific Hajj savings. However, various financial obstacles prevent most respondents from achieving their financial goals for the Hajj pilgrimage. This study contributes to the development of a more inclusive and adaptive Hajj financial policy to the financial needs and behavior of the millennial generation in Indonesia.

Abstract

Purpose − The study aims to determine what factors influence the use of technology in zakat institutions in Indonesia using the Technological, Organizational, Environmental (TOE) model.Methodology − This research is based on a quantitative online survey of 125 amils at zakat institutions in Indonesia. The sample consisted of 55% men and 45% women. Data were analyzed using SPSS 26 and PLS-SEM to test variables and hypotheses.Findings − The results showed that organizational readiness and external pressure have a significant positive impact on the use of technology in zakat institutions. Interestingly, Information Technology (IT) infrastructure and interoperability do not significantly affect technology usage because technology users want it to be easy-to-understand and easy-to-use. Thus, an easy-to-understand and easy-to-use technology give an excellent opportunity to achieve the zakat institution's goals.Originality − This study is one of the first to examine the impact of the variables in the TOE Model on technology usage in Indonesian zakat institutions during the COVID-19 pandemic. Research limitations − This study was conducted using cross-sectional data, which has limitations in explaining the relationship between variables that are likely to change over time. In addition, some respondents were not familiar with the proposed questionnaire. Lack of understanding may cause respondents to answer questions improperly.Practical implications − The results are essential for all stakeholders of zakat institutions, especially policymakers, to increase the use of technology to affect the performance of zakat institutions in the context of the realization of zakat, infaq, sadaqah (ZIS) collection in Indonesia.
