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

The halal certification system in Nigeria currently faces serious challenges, including weak transparency, vulnerability to document falsification, and limited supply-chain oversight, whereas ideally halal certification should ensure authenticity, accountability, and public trust throughout the entire value chain. This study aims to develop a conceptual model of digital halal certification that aligns with Nigeria’s social, economic, and regulatory context. The research employs a qualitative approach through a literature review by examining Nigerian halal policies, institutional reports, and recent scholarly publications on blockchain and halal management; the data were then analyzed using content analysis supported by theoretical triangulation. The findings indicate that blockchain has significant potential to enhance transparency, tracking accuracy, and fraud prevention within Nigeria’s halal ecosystem, although its implementation requires regulatory readiness, technical capacity, and stakeholder collaboration. The study recommends the development of a context-appropriate blockchain architecture for halal certification, the implementation of pilot projects to assess technical effectiveness, and the formulation of policy frameworks that support long-term adoption of this technology in the national halal certification system.

Abstract

Halal certification is expected to serve not only as a guarantee of product compliance with Islamic law but also as a mechanism to build public trust in Sharia adherence. In practice, however, its implementation in Nigeria faces persistent challenges such as institutional fragmentation, lack of standard integration, and limited resources that undermine the credibility of the certification system. This study aims to examine the role of halal certification in shaping consumer trust and to identify key factors determining the credibility of certification bodies in Nigeria. Employing a literature-based approach, this study analyzes recent research on certification governance, consumer behavior, and institutional trust. The findings reveal that halal certification functions not only as an indicator of Sharia compliance but also as a quality signal that enhances consumer loyalty. The credibility of certification bodies depends on transparency, auditor competence, moral integrity, and both regulatory and social support. These findings underscore the importance of synergy among government, religious authorities, and society in establishing a standardized, transparent, and sustainable halal certification system. The study offers a conceptual contribution to strengthening halal governance in developing countries that face institutional complexities, such as Nigeria.

Abstract

Islamic communication ethics offers an ideal guideline for affiliate marketing practices, yet in reality, violations such as false claims, concealment of product defects, and promotion of prohibited goods by affiliates are still found. This research aims to analyze communication ethics in Islamic affiliate marketing practices using the framework of shiddiq (honesty), amanah (responsibility), tabligh (transparency), and fathanah (wisdom), as well as comparing their implementation in Indonesia and Nigeria. This research is classified as library research with a qualitative approach and comparative strategy. Data collection techniques were carried out through documentation by tracing literature from academic databases, while data analysis used content analysis and comparative analysis. The findings reveal that Indonesia has an established regulatory framework through DSN-MUI fatwas but faces a gap between norms and practice, while Nigeria demonstrates growing Sharia awareness at the grassroots level despite the absence of a national fatwa. The contribution of this research is to provide a cross-country comparative analytical framework that integrates Islamic communication ethics with regulatory theory and consumer protection in the context of the digital economy.
