Abstract

The exponential growth of digitalization leads to the involvement of zakat institutions in using technology in their zakat management. Technology usage, whether in collection or distribution, is necessary to ensure more efficient and systematic zakat management that will contribute to social justice. Generally, zakat affairs in Malaysia are governed and managed by states, leading to technology usage in zakat management depending on the state’s law and governance. Blockchain technology, which will be the main focus of the discussion, can also be used for zakat digitization. Various studies also focus on blockchain technology implementation, which is growingly discussed as an effort for zakat digitalization; many zakat issues still need to be addressed among zakat institutions. This includes ineffective collection and distribution and complicated and unsystematic zakat application for the beneficiaries. Thus, this research will focus on blockchain technology to achieve better and more efficient zakat management in Malaysia. Secondary data for this research is collected through multiple references such as books, theses, journals, proceeding papers, annual reports, and related websites. The data collected were analyzed to develop a conceptual framework for effective zakat management through implementing blockchain technology.
