Optimizing Zakat Management Through Digital Technology in Increasing The Acquisition of Zakat Funds

Onesa Lestari

Abstract


With the huge potential of zakat for the welfare of society, the current management of zakat in Indonesia is still not optimal. To improve the effectiveness of zakat institutions, good governance is an important factor. As a public organization, the performance of zakat institutions, especially in administration and services, is an indicator of increasing public trust. This research aims to identify opportunities for the application of blockchain in zakat management. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with a literature study method on the topic of zakat and blockchain in Indonesia. The results of this study emphasize the challenges and propose strategies in managing zakat with blockchain. In this case, the role of amil zakat and muzakki is key in the implementation of zakat using blockchain technology in quality, efficient, accountable, and professional zakat management in distributing zakat to asnaf. The application of Blockchain technology in zakat management can track the status of zakat funds and make the distribution process and fund transactions transparent. This research is useful for improving zakat governance in Indonesia by providing strategies for all zakat stakeholders such as the government, Ministry of Religion, Baznas, community organizations, and zakat management institutions.
