Abstract

Homelessness and begging remain persistent social problems that require comprehensive and context-specific interventions. This study analyzes the social rehabilitation strategies of Harapan Mulya Social Shelter in Jambi, Indonesia, which plays a central role in managing homeless individuals and beggars through institutional care. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with shelter staff and beneficiaries, participant observations of daily activities, and document analysis. Data were examined using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model to identify themes related to institutional strategies and their implementation. The findings reveal that the shelter adopts a structured four-stage rehabilitation pathway: outreach, resocialization, evaluation, and termination. Outreach establishes trust and provides immediate relief, while resocialization offers spiritual guidance, social counseling, and vocational training to foster independence. Evaluation functions as a feedback loop to monitor progress and adapt programs, and termination prepares beneficiaries for reintegration into society. These strategies demonstrate a holistic model of intervention that addresses both psychosocial and economic needs. However, the effectiveness of these efforts is shaped by supporting factors such as regulatory frameworks, government funding, and committed staff, as well as hindering factors including limited professional resources, inadequate infrastructure, and socio-economic inequalities that contribute to relapse. This study contributes to the literature by highlighting how social rehabilitation operates in a resource-constrained Southeast Asian context, extending global discussions on homelessness management. It also offers practical implications for policymakers and practitioners seeking to strengthen institutional care through integrated, culturally grounded, and cross-sectoral approaches.

Abstract

This article examines the juridical transformation of digital content creators into zakat payers within the framework of contemporary Islamic law. The rapid expansion of Indonesia’s digital creative economy, with professions such as YouTubers and Instagram celebrities earning substantial yet fluctuating incomes, raises urgent questions regarding the applicability of classical zakat provisions to modern revenue models. Therefore, this article critically analyzes the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) Fatwa No. 1 of 2024 on Zakat for Digital Content Creators, issued during the 8th National Fatwa Commission Conference. Using a juridical-normative method combined with content analysis, this article examines fatwa texts, Qur’anic and hadith foundations, and both classical and contemporary fiqh perspectives, triangulated with recent literature on Islamic law in the digital economy. The findings demonstrate that the fatwa categorizes creators’ income as māl mustafād (acquired wealth) subject to zakat once it reaches the niṣāb equivalent of 85 grams of gold, with rates of 2.5% (lunar year) or 2.57% (solar year). Its flexibility in permitting zakat payment upon receipt of income, without waiting for a full ḥawl, reflects Islamic law’s responsiveness to irregular digital earnings. This article concludes that the fatwa not only regulates wealth redistribution (ḥifẓ al-māl) and reinforces ethical content production (ḥifẓ al-dīn), but also marks a significant step in the rise of digital fiqh. Its key contribution lies in proposing a practical zakat calculation model for multi-source digital income while highlighting taysīr (facilitation) and rafʿ al-ḥaraj (removal of hardship) as normative foundations for Shariah adaptation in the digital economy.
