“…The research discovered that the effectiveness of the Zakat Institution may be enhanced by maximizing resources to provide various results (Mawardi et 2022). Moreover, programs that empower those in need, backed by organizational assistance and entrepreneurial traits, are closely linked to the effectiveness of reducing poverty (Mubarak et al, 2022). Moreover, the implementation of technology in zakat organizations is impacted by factors like organizational preparedness and external influences (Abd Wahid & Hamzah, 2020).…”

This study examines how Zakat management practices in Indonesia relate to sustainable development, with an emphasis on institutional capacity, transparency, efficiency of Zakat collection, and the effectiveness of distribution. A numerical method, using Structural Equation Modelling with Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS), was used to examine data gathered from a group of 170 people. Analysed were descriptive statistics, evaluations of measurement models, and examinations of structural models to investigate how essential factors interact. The findings showed strong and important connections between institutional capacity, transparency, efficiency of Zakat collection, and efficacy of distribution and sustainable development results. The research offers practical advice for Zakat organisations and policymakers to improve their methods, highlighting the important role of transparency and efficient distribution in increasing socio-economic benefits.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to develop and assess the effects of unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT 2) constructs – effort expectancy (EE), social influence (SI) and hedonic motivation (HM) – on behavioural intention (BI), as well as the impact of innovation resistance theory (IRT) constructs – usage barrier (UB) and tradition barrier (TB) – on innovation resistance (IR) behavior in the context of digital zakat payment in Aceh. In addition, this study also examines how knowledge of fiqh zakat influences both BI and IR. Design/methodology/approach This was a quantitative study including 350 Acehnese persons who paid zakat online. This research used a Likert scale, and the sampling technique was purposive sampling applied for the Acehnese people. The research respondents were civil servants, private employees, BUMN employees (employees of State-Owned Enterprises), merchants, restaurant owners, professionals and other occupations who had paid professional zakat through a digital system mechanism. The data were analysed using partial least squares structural equation modelling. Findings This research found that the constructs built through the theory of UTAUT 2 explained the position of the EE variable, which had a significant effect on BI. On the other hand, the variable of SI and HM did not significantly affect BI in digital zakat payment. This finding demonstrated that BI significantly influenced actual usage (AU). UB and TB had no impact on IR, according to the theoretical framework developed by IRT. Yet, the knowledge about the fiqh zakat (KFZ) significantly affected the AU. In terms of the moderation role, the KFZ variable moderated the relationship between BI and AU. However, the KFZ variable did not moderate the relationship between IR and AU. Research limitations/implications This research had limitations and could still be investigated further by involving a larger sample. This study does not include all UTAUT 2 and IRT constructs, but only involves UTAUT 2 and IRT constructs based on the phenomenon of digital zakat paying behavior in the people of Aceh. Practical implications This research had a managerial contribution and an evaluation of the use of digital zakat collection services in Aceh and zakat management institutions in various countries. The existence of significant EE should be a reference for zakat institutions to produce continuous payment applications with a higher level of convenience in the future. In addition, the government should encourage more organised fiqh zakat education in society to plan a more optimal zakat collection. The reason for this is that KFZ has been shown to moderate zakat intentions towards actual digital zakat payment behaviour. Social implications The results of this study were then accommodated by the government to design a digital zakat collection system so that it resulted in optimising the collected zakat funds. The greater the zakat funds collected, the greater the economic impact and social resilience of the community was in the midst of the post-covid and global crisis. Originality/value This research provided an essential value in the aspect of collecting zakat funds, especially in the study of the behaviour of paying zakat digitally. The theory of planned behaviour predominated in earlier studies that investigated zakat-paying behaviour. Yet, this research was even more focused as it used the constructs of UTAUT 2 and IRT theory and applied the involvement of a moderator variable like fiqh zakat knowledge that was barely discussed.

Islamic philanthropic institutions are now working towards a green transition. Digital technology plays an important role as an enabler. Through literature studies, field studies, interviews, and using nethnography, this chapter explains two things: (1) Describes green transition practices by Islamic philanthropic institutions in Indonesia; (2) Describes the extent to which the institution is utilizing digital technology in a green transition. By taking case studies on three institutions that have worked in the Green Eligible Sector, this chapter provides an overview of their twin green transition and digitalization. Islamic philanthropic institutions have done green crowdfunding through digital green branding, digital green promotion, digital green marketing, digital green fundraising, and digital green payments for supporting their green transition programs. By partnerships with deep technology providers, they can expand into green production and processing areas. Through the Islamic Quadruple Helix, the institutions can transform into a digitally-enabled society.
