Abstract
The digitalization of Zakat Fitrah clashes with textual orthodoxy requiring physical commodities, creating methodological tension between rational istihsan and textual ihtiyat. This doctrinal study utilized comparative jurisprudence alongside contextual verification to critically evaluate the effectiveness of monetary payments according to Abu Hanifa and Wahbah Zuhaili. The research demonstrated that neither paradigm suffices independently within modern philanthropy. Rational istihsan legally validates the operational acceleration of digital financial platforms, while strict textualism provides vital macroeconomic protection by rigorously pegging fiat currency to real food indices, preventing depreciation caused by severe inflation. Consequently, this article formulates a novel hybrid Shariah governance model. Integrating these two epistemologies establishes a robust global blueprint for Islamic social finance. This moderate synthesis successfully balances technological distribution efficiency with the absolute preservation of fundamental economic rights of beneficiaries. Ultimately, this framework safeguards the core objectives of Islamic law concerning equitable wealth distribution across all modern digital economic systems.
