Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the digitalization of Islamic philanthropy through zakat and waqf fundraising platforms and assess its compliance with the principles of transparency (al-syafāfiyyah) and accountability (mas’ūliyyah) within the framework of Islamic economic law and maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah.Design/Methodology: This study employs a qualitative library research design with a juridical-normative approach. It employs a conceptual and legal approach by examining primary sources, including the Quran, Hadith, fatwas of the National Sharia Council of the Indonesian Ulema Council (DSN-MUI), and related regulations, as well as secondary sources such as academic literature and previous research related to Islamic philanthropy and crowdfunding practices.Findings: The findings indicate that the digitalization of Islamic philanthropy through crowdfunding platforms is permissible under Islamic law, provided it meets essential sharia requirements, including clear contractual arrangements (akad), transparent information disclosure, accountability for fund distribution, and effective sharia oversight. However, challenges remain regarding standardized reporting mechanisms, oversight models, and the alignment of digital practices with the principles of trustworthiness and justice (‘adl). Adherence to these principles ensures the realization of benefits to society (maslahah) and the maintenance of the community's trust.Practical Implications: This study highlights the importance of strengthening the regulatory framework, enhancing sharia governance, and developing standardized transparency and accountability mechanisms for zakat and waqf fundraising platforms. These measures support sustainable digital philanthropy and strengthen public trust in Islamic social financial institutions.Originality/Value: This study provides a normative legal analysis of digital zakat and waqf fundraising platforms from the perspective of Islamic economic law, offering a structured evaluation framework based on the principles of transparency, accountability, and maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah in the digital era

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.
