Abstract

 This study looks at how productive waqf can be a key tool in fiscal policy under an Islamic economic system, highlighting its ability to help a country achieve financial independence. The study uses a qualitative library research approach to gather and combine information from historical Islamic texts, scientific articles, and official documents about public finance. The results show that productive waqf is an important and lasting source of income for the government, helping it fund public services like education and infrastructure without having to take on debt that involves interest or pay too much in taxes. Historical models from the time of Caliph Umar bin Khattab, handled through the Baitul Maal, show a good example of a balanced budget and fair sharing of wealth. In today's situation, even though Indonesia's yearly cash waqf potential could be as high as Rp 15 trillion to Rp 180 trillion, there is still a big gap in literacy, which is a major problem. Modern innovations such as Cash Waqf-Linked Sukuk, digital platforms, and partnerships with small businesses—like those used by institutions like Al-Azhar—show how productive assets can have a big impact by creating a large multiplied effect. This study says that including waqf in the official financial system is important for reaching falah and the Sustainable Development Goals, but only if there is good management by nadzir, helpful laws, and the use of digital technology.

Abstract

The aim of this research is to analyze the extent of financial management that occurs at the Minhajul Haq Kiarapedes Purwakarta Islamic boarding school, what obstacles arise in this regard and what efforts must be made in order to achieve ideal financial management. In this research, the method used is descriptive research and is a case study which is studied quantitatively. In this case, the financial condition of the Minhajul Haq Islamic boarding school is explained, while quantitatively the strength of effectiveness and efficiency of financial management of the Minhajul Haq Islamic Boarding School is calculated. The unit of analysis in this research is the financial management of the Minhajul Haq Islamic boarding school from 2020 to 2022. The results of this research show that the calculation of the formulation of the level of effectiveness of Islamic boarding school financial management from 2020 to 2022 fluctuates with an average effectiveness level of 92.09%. . This shows that the financial management of the Minhajul Haq Islamic Boarding School is at an effective management level. Meanwhile, the results of the analysis of financial management efficiency show that the calculation of the overall efficiency level formulation is an average of 107.14%. This shows that the level of efficiency is still low because the results are more than 100%. Thus, the Minhajul Haq Islamic Boarding School is still wasteful in using its budget. Apart from that, it also explains the principles of financial management such as transparency, accountability as well as obstacles in supporting ideal financial management and efforts to achieve them.   Keywords: Financial Management, Effectiveness, Efficiency

Abstract

This research is motivated by various public opinions regarding zakat and taxes, indicating that the role of taxes is not yet fully optimal in supporting government revenues, especially during economic crises. The objective of this research is to examine how zakat and taxes can be integrated as fiscal policy instruments. This research employs a qualitative method with a library research approach and an exploratory study. Data collection is conducted through documentation, which includes books, journals, online articles, and other relevant sources. The results indicate that zakat and taxes can be integrated as fiscal policy instruments. Based on the trilogy of fiscal policy functions—namely allocation, distribution, and stabilization—zakat and taxes share fundamental similarities in addressing national economic problems, particularly during inflation and financial crises. Therefore, zakat should be considered by the government as a complementary fiscal policy instrument to support state revenues.

Abstract

The development of the virtual asset-based economy and digital transactions has sparked a new paradigm for young creators within the metaverse ecosystem. This transition from a conventional economy to the digital realm creates a gap between market practices and the normative approach of fiqh muamalah. Consequently, it demands an adjustment in interpretations regarding ownership (milkiyyah tammah), the legality of digital assets (such as game skins and NFTs), and the risks of speculation and fraud therein. This article analyzes the status of virtual objects based on their technological architecture—centralized and decentralized assets—and evaluates them through the lenses of Islamic law and contemporary regulations. The results of the analysis emphasize that centralized assets, such as game skins, are legally flawed due to the absence of absolute ownership rights and high levels of gharar. Conversely, decentralized NFT assets can be recognized as māl maknawi, provided that the underlying assets and the medium of exchange are free from maysir and riba. This paper is expected to serve as a reference for young creators to remain relevant in digital innovation without compromising ethical integrity and the protection of Maqashid Syariah.
ADOPTION OF SHARIA FINTECH AND THE PAYLATER ECOSYSTEM: A COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS OF GENERATION Z'S IMPULSIVE BUYING BEHAVIOR WITHIN THE SPECTRUM OF MAQASHID SHARIA AND FINANCIAL RESILIENCE Rohman Pranoto; Isrun Abdurahman; Rizaldy Alpiansyah; Miftah Wangsadanureja; Tatang Hidayat

Abstract

The penetration of Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) or paylater services has disrupted public consumption patterns, particularly among Generation Z in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the impulsive buying behavior among Generation Z resulting from the use of paylater features through the perspective of Maqashid Sharia, specifically on the pillar of Hifdzul Mal (protection of wealth). This research employs a mixed methods approach combining quantitative and qualitative analyses, supported by a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of literature and statistical data from the 2023-2025 period. The results indicate that transaction convenience and digital promotion manipulation trigger a significant surge in impulsive buying, resulting in an increased default ratio among the youth demographic. From the perspective of muamalah jurisprudence, although there are sharia-compliant paylater platforms utilizing Murabahah and Wakalah bil Ujrah contracts, their implementation often falls into the illusion of formal compliance without addressing substantive ethics. Generation Z's hyper-consumption behavior, which prioritizes tertiary needs (Tahsiniyat) through debt, contradicts the values of Hifdzul Mal and is classified as israf (extravagance) and tabdzir (wastefulness). Islamic financial literacy was found to be a crucial mediating variable in protecting Generation Z from the digital debt trap. This study recommends strengthening macro-prudential regulations, revitalizing the supervision of sharia boards, and providing comprehensive financial literacy education.

Abstract

Digital disruption in the modern economic landscape has given birth to financial technology (fintech) instruments that radically change the consumption patterns and financial governance of society globally and nationally. One of the most dominating innovations that has sparked sharp discourse is the Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) service, more popularly known as paylater. Generation Z (Gen Z) and Millennials are recorded as the largest demographic of users in this service ecosystem, where the total outstanding paylater debt in Indonesia reached an aggregate figure of Rp29.59 trillion in April 2025, with a Non-Performing Loan (NPL) ratio that continues to creep up. This scientific report presents a comprehensive, in-depth, and nuanced analysis of the fundamental shift in Generation Z's mindset towards the concept of debt due to paylater penetration, evaluated strictly through the lens of Islamic economics, Fiqh Muamalah, and Maqashid Sharia. Through a synthesis of empirical data from the Financial Services Authority (OJK), behavioral economics literature, and fatwas from the National Sharia Board of the Indonesian Ulema Council (DSN-MUI), this research identifies an acute sociological shift: debt, which in Islamic tradition is inherently viewed as an emergency instrument based on mutual assistance (tabarru'), is now commodified into a lifestyle based on instant gratification and a "self-reward" culture that reduces the psychological friction of shopping (pain of paying). Furthermore, the analysis in this report outlines contemporary Fiqh Muamalah resolutions regarding the schemes of Istijrar, Murabahah, Wakalah bil Ujrah, Qardh, and Kafalah to strictly differentiate between conventional paylater and sharia paylater facilities. Within the framework of Maqashid Sharia, the normalization of consumptive debt among Gen Z is proven to be diametrically opposed to the principle of Hifz al-Mal (protection of wealth), triggering systemic threats in the form of israf (extravagance) and tabzir (extreme wastefulness). In conclusion, the report asserts that without structured, massive, and digitally integrated Islamic financial literacy interventions, the ease of access to instant credit can transform from a tool of financial inclusion into a trap of long-term financial fragility that undermines the economic resilience of future generations.
