This study examines the urgency of reconstructing zakat governance to strengthen the family resilience of the Muslim community by integrating the normative principles of Islamic Family Law and maqāṣid al-sharī'ah. Although Indonesia possesses a comprehensive legal and institutional framework for zakat management facilitated by the National Zakat Agency (BAZNAS) and Zakat Management Institutions (LAZ) existing governance remains dominated by an orientation toward administrative accountability, financial performance, and poverty alleviation, with relatively limited attention paid to family resilience as a strategic objective. This study aims to reconstruct zakat governance to enhance its effectiveness in sustainably improving family welfare, viewed through the perspective of Islamic Family Law and analyzed using maqāṣid al-sharī'ah theory. It employs an empirical legal approach, gathering data through interviews with regulators, zakat institution administrators, and Islamic Family Law experts, supported by an analysis of relevant legal documents and policies. The findings propose an integrated zakat governance model that positions the family as the primary unit of empowerment through family-based mustahik assessment, collaborative governance, sustainable empowerment programs, continuous mentoring, governance digitalization, and multidimensional performance evaluation. This model demonstrates that integrating Islamic Family Law and maqāṣid al-sharī'ah expands the orientation of zakat governance moving beyond mere management efficiency toward the protection of religion, life, intellect, lineage, and property thereby sustainably strengthening Muslim family resilience. The study contributes theoretically to the development of zakat law and Islamic social finance while offering practical recommendations for zakat governance reform in Indonesia.
