Cash waqf, as an Islamic social finance instrument, has experienced substantial growth in line with digital technology advancement. The integration of cash waqf into the Islamic banking system has fostered various innovations, including Islamic crowdfunding platforms and blockchain-based waqf management. However, this digital transformation has not been fully accompanied by adequate regulatory frameworks, posing challenges in terms of legality, governance, and legal protection. This study aims to review the literature related to regulatory transformation of cash waqf within the context of digital Islamic banking. A total of 20 relevant academic articles were systematically examined to identify key issues, policy approaches, and research gaps concerning digital cash waqf regulation. The study finds that misalignment between technological innovation and regulatory clarity results in legal uncertainty, weak institutional coordination, and low public participation. The findings show that the successful implementation of digital cash waqf depends heavily on a regulatory framework that is inclusive, responsive to technological changes, and based on Sharia principles. This article proposes a conceptual framework as a foundation for policy development that supports sustainability, accountability, and transparency in modern Islamic financial systems.
