Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role and urgency of sharia fatwas in legitimizing and operationalizing zakat as a financing instrument for renewable energy projects, viewed through Islamic political thought in the context of the global climate crisis. Employing a qualitative approach, the research utilizes document analysis of fatwas (e.g., MUI Fatwa No. 15/2017 and Malaysian zakat fatwas), interviews with representatives from zakat institutions (Baznas and State Zakat Centers), and case studies of renewable energy projects in Indonesia and Malaysia. The findings reveal that sharia fatwas provide robust legal legitimacy for channeling zakat into green projects like solar power plants (PLTS) and biomass initiatives, aligning with maqasid sharia’s hifzhul bi’ah (environmental preservation) and supporting global climate goals, such as the 2050 net-zero emissions target. Despite challenges like low sharia literacy and limited fund scales, zakat demonstrates significant potential to support Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 7 and 13, fostering socio-economic benefits for mustahik through clean energy access and green job creation. The study concludes that sharia fatwas and green zakat serve as innovative tools to bridge Islamic values with global environmental policies, enhancing sustainability. Academically, it contributes by developing the concept of green zakat, filling a literature gap in integrating zakat with renewable energy financing, and offering a framework for aligning sharia-based finance with sustainable development.

Abstract

This paper explores the integration of Islamic legal principles, specifically justice (adl) and equality (musawah), to address social inequalities in Indonesia’s diverse, post-pandemic society. The objective is to develop an inclusive legal framework aligned with national values. Employing an interdisciplinary approach combining Islamic law, sociology, and economics, the study analyzes theological and juridical foundations from the Qur’an and Hadith, alongside empirical data. Results show progress in reducing social disparities, with the Gini index dropping to 0.375 by March 2025 and poverty rates declining to 8.47 percent. Instruments like productive zakat, digital waqf, and sharia microfinance, supported by digital platforms such as e-court Syariah, have enhanced wealth redistribution and access to justice for marginalized groups. The main novelty lies in proposing an egalitarian family law reform through the Musawah Framework and contextual ijtihad to restore Islam’s original egalitarian values. Despite challenges like conservative resistance and digital divides, these reforms promise sustainable solutions for inclusive development, reducing socio-economic disparities, and strengthening Indonesia’s legal system. [Tulisan ini mengkaji integrasi prinsip hukum Islam, khususnya keadilan (adl) dan kesetaraan (musawah), untuk mengatasi ketidaksetaraan sosial di masyarakat Indonesia yang beragam pasca-pandemi. Tujuannya adalah membangun kerangka hukum inklusif yang selaras dengan nilai-nilai nasional. Dengan pendekatan interdisipliner yang menggabungkan hukum Islam, sosiologi, dan ekonomi, penelitian ini menganalisis landasan teologis dan yuridis dari Al-Qur’an dan Hadis serta data empiris. Hasilnya menunjukkan kemajuan dalam mengurangi disparitas sosial, dengan indeks Gini turun menjadi 0.375 pada Maret 2025 dan tingkat kemiskinan menurun menjadi 8,47 persen. Instrumen seperti zakat produktif, wakaf digital, dan keuangan mikro syariah, didukung platform digital seperti e-court Syariah, telah meningkatkan redistribusi kekayaan dan akses keadilan bagi kelompok marginal. Kebaruan utama terletak pada usulan reformasi hukum keluarga egaliter melalui Musawah Framework dan ijtihad kontekstual untuk memulihkan nilai kesetaraan asli Islam. Meskipun menghadapi tantangan seperti resistensi konservatif dan kesenjangan digital, reformasi ini menjanjikan solusi berkelanjutan untuk pembangunan inklusif, pengurangan disparitas sosial-ekonomi, dan penguatan sistem hukum di Indonesia.]
