<![CDATA[The digital transformation of zakat management in Indonesia offers immense convenience but raises contemporary Islamic legal issues regarding transaction validity, data security, and institutional accountability. This study aims to analyze the legal framework of online zakat management from a contemporary fiqh perspective. Employing a normative legal research method with a library research approach, this study applies statute and conceptual approaches to evaluate relevant legislation and Islamic principles. Data were collected through systematic documentation and analyzed qualitatively. The findings indicate that online zakat management is fundamentally permissible (mubah) as digital platforms merely act as a means (wasilah) without altering the substantive pillars of zakat. Furthermore, the maqāṣid al-syarī‘ah perspective confirms that digitalization supports public welfare (maslahah) by enhancing accessibility, transparency, and distribution efficiency. However, challenges such as regulatory gaps in national law and cybersecurity risks necessitate adaptive regulations and robust Sharia governance. Ultimately, synergizing contemporary fiqh principles with secure digital infrastructure ensures a sustainable, Sharia-compliant zakat ecosystem that maximizes social justice.]]>
