<![CDATA[Indonesia's national land certificate digitization, while promising administrative efficiency, creates a compelling paradox within its unique socio-religious landscape, particularly for pesantren, where formal ownership intersects with religious endowments (waqf) and communal systems. This study investigates the critical gap between this technocratic initiative and the principles of distributive justice, asking how digitization impacts pesantren amidst complex tenure realities. Employing a qualitative philosophical-empirical approach, it integrates theoretical analysis of Rawlsian, capabilities, and recognitional justice with a systematic review of legal documents, digital literacy data, and pesantren distribution. The findings reveal that the standardized digital framework generates procedural injustices because it ignores profound rural digital literacy divides and violates recognitional justice by failing to accommodate traditional waqf arrangements. Consequently, it disproportionately advantages larger urban institutions, marginalizing smaller rural pesantren and undermining equitable distribution. While limited to a theoretical-empirical synthesis, this research offers novelty by proposing an integrated ethical framework to reconcile technology with fairness, advocating for human-centric design, digital literacy investment, adapted land categories, and restorative mechanisms, thus ensuring digitization advances, rather than impedes, justice.]]>
