Abstract

Amidst the increasingly massive phenomenon of digital philanthropy, E-Sedekah emerges as a promising innovation to reach a wider range of donors and mobilize charitable funds efficiently. However, its implementation also presents significant ethical challenges, particularly concerning the concept of virtual altruism, meaning virtual kindness that is often superficial and lacks deep-rooted empathy, as well as the problem of uneven wealth distribution, which potentially widens the gap of social inequality. This research is motivated by the urgency to critically examine E-Sedekah practices from the social justice perspective of Fazlur Rahman, a prominent modernist Islamic thinker who emphasizes the contextual interpretation of the Qur'an as a foundation for addressing socio-economic disparities. The aim is not only to critique existing E-Sedekah practices but also to highlight the implications of virtual altruism on the sustainability of charity, and to identify fair and transformative distribution strategies to maximize positive impact for beneficiaries. Employing a qualitative method involving in-depth content analysis and hermeneutics of Fazlur Rahman's works, along with primary and secondary data from E-Sedekah platforms in Indonesia, the study's comprehensive results indicate that while E-Sedekah holds immense potential as a philanthropic instrument, fundamental reforms are necessary to ensure its accountability, transparency, and distribution effectiveness in accordance with Islamic principles. The recommendations include the development of a comprehensive digital ethics framework based on maqasid syariah for optimizing the role of ZISWAF in building social justice in the digital era

Abstract

Zakat is a fiscal instrument aimed at sustainable social welfare. Accelerating the improvement of the welfare of those who mustahik is a crucial indicator of the success of zakat management. Although zakat funds collected continue to increase annually, studies show that poverty and dependency levels remain persistent issues. Theoretically, distribution through Zakat Management Organizations (OPZ) provides added value in the form of accelerating the welfare of those who mustahik through productive programs and mentoring. However, the community does not yet fully understand the importance of paying zakat through OPZ. This study used field research with a qualitative approach. Primary data were collected through in-depth interviews with selected muzaki (payers of zakat). The results showed that the majority of muzaki believed or had a positive perception that paying zakat through OPZ would accelerate the improvement of the welfare of those who mustahik.

Abstract

This study examines a zakat governance model that aligns with the socio-cultural context of Minangkabau by integrating ABS–SBK values, traditional nagari institutions, and the state’s administrative framework. Although Indonesia’s zakat system is centralized and emphasizes formal accountability, this approach often fails to accommodate the strong social capital and adat-based deliberative traditions that characterize Minangkabau society. Through a literature review and analysis of documented ethnographic studies, the research identifies key mismatches between formal zakat mechanisms and nagari-based practices, particularly in terms of social legitimacy, the accuracy of mustahik identification, and the administrative capacity of local institutions. The findings indicate that nagari institutions possess cultural legitimacy and deep community knowledge, yet require state support to strengthen administrative procedures and reporting systems. Synthesizing governance, decentralization, ABS–SBK, and social capital theories, this study proposes a hybrid zakat governance model that includes formal recognition of nagari roles, establishment of Nagari Zakat Offices, coordination through Regional Zakat Forums, adaptive accountability, and digital transparency tools. This model is expected to enhance the effectiveness, legitimacy, and sustainability of zakat governance in Minangkabau
