Abstract

The dynamics of digital development are causing adaptive changes in the renewal of Islamic law. In the context of Islamic philanthropy, such as zakāh, infāq, sadaqah, and waqf (Ziswaf), stagnation is seen in assets managed traditionally as immovable objects used for consumptive purposes. The economic potential of zakāh and waqf, which amounts to hundreds of trillions, is significant for reducing high poverty rates and improving access to quality education. Therefore, this study aimed to discover a new model of Islamic philanthropy (Ziswaf) management handled more professionally, with innovations directed towards the public good (maslahah ammāh). Socio-anthropological and Islamic law perspectives were used, focusing on the actions of actors, such as campus leaders, lecturers, and managers of Ziswaf. The results of the study conducted at two Islamic campuses, Unissula and UIN Walisongo Semarang, showed that various models of Islamic philanthropy were developed professionally at Unissula in education, health, and business ventures. At UIN Walisongo, zakāh was managed through a professional governance model and via partnerships, such as with BAZ. Furthermore, ziswaf assets entrusted by wāqif and muzakkī at both campuses were developed productively, with proceeds distributed to support facilities and educational scholarships. At Unissula, distributions were allocated to programs, such as Quranic guidance, campus pesantren, and competency development across all faculties, from Medicine to Islamic Education. This productive management of Islamic philanthropy is consistent with principle of Maslahah, advancing Islamic
education and the welfare of the Muslim community.
