DOWNLOAD Abstract Perkembangan Revolusi Industri 4.0 telah mendorong pelbagai sektor untuk melakukan transformasi dalam pendekatan dan bentuk perkhidmatan masing-masing. Antara sektor yang mengalami evolusi dari semasa ke semasa adalah sektor kewangan dan perbankan. Perkembangan semasa memperlihatkan pelbagai inovasi berkaitan Teknologi Kewangan (FinTech) yang dilihat mampu memberi nafas baharu dan anjakan paradigma dalam ekosistem perbankan dan kewangan global, antaranya dengan kewujudan matawang kripto dan juga token digital. Para pengkaji dan cendekiawan Syariah berbeza pandangan dalam menanggapi isu ini, namun perkembangan terkini pihak Suruhanjaya Sekuriti Malaysia telah mengeluarkan garis panduan bagi operasi dan pelaburan aset digital. Oleh itu, kajian ini akan memfokuskan potensi kenaan zakat ke atas matawang kripto dan token digital berpandukan fungsi dan praktis semasa masing-masing. Objektif kajian adalah untuk mengenal pasti samada matawang kripto adalah bersesuaian dengan konsep mal (harta) yang tertakluk kepada hukum zakat dan jika menepati konsep harta, apakah jenis zakat yang sewajarnya ditaksir ke atas matawang kripto? Kajian akan menggunakan kaedah kualitatif dengan pendekatan analisis kandungan dan juga analisis dokumen yang berkaitan. Kajian ini dianggap sebagai kajian rintis bagi melihat potensi pengambilan matawang kripto dan token digital sebagai sumber baharu bagi kenaan zakat yang memerlukan perincian yang lebih mendalam dan komprehensif untuk perhatian dan rujukan pihak-pihak pemegang taruh dalam bidang zakat.

Title: Improving Livelihood at Household Level with Zakat Based Conscious Financing. Author:Lyla Latif (Teaching Fellow at the University of Warwick and CEO of Lai’Latif & Co.) Abstract:This paper explores spending zakat to support the financial improvement of women from low- or no-income households. It assesses the feasibility of remitting zakat over the m-pesa platform. M-pesa is a Kenyan mobile banking app that allows subscribers to send and receive money through their mobile phones without the use of the internet. The theory underpinning the paper’s analysis on the use of zakat to support the economic improvement of women is based on tax justice and social extraction. Taken together these theories suggest that redistribution can also be facilitated by non-state actors who apply their own norms in regulating how to spend their collective revenue towards improving lives. As such, the paper therefore, starts the discussion by highlighting the need for redistribution using taxes, extends the conception of conventional tax to include zakat and justifies this position by interrogating whether the Kenyan fiscal space and its constitution can recognise zakat as part of tax system that supports the state to promote social and economic wellbeing. Whether zakat contributes to the social and economic improvement of people is examined by inquiring into a specific case study of Mama Riziki. The paper employs the discursive approach and is based on a mixed methods approach. The findings reveal that zakat based conscious financing can improve livelihoods at a household level. Keywords: economic improvement, Kenya, non-state Muslim actors, women, zakat Read full article: https://doi.org/10.51377/azjaf.vol3no1.91
