Keywords:
accountability, transparency, sharī’ah principles, philanthropy, digital platformsAbstract
The rapid development of digital platforms has transformed philanthropic practices, including those of Lazismu, Nurul Hayat, Kitabisa.com, Dompet Dhuafa, and BAZNAS East Java, particularly regarding accountability and public trust. This study examines how digital platforms strengthen accountability in philanthropy in the digital era. It adopts a qualitative approach using virtual ethnography, complemented by online observations of philanthropic organizations’ digital platforms, including websites, social media, and digital payment systems. The findings indicate that philanthropic institutions use digital channels to disseminate information and facilitate donations, thereby supporting transparency and accountability. Moreover, integrating sharī’ah principles with compliance with applicable laws on digital platforms provides a key foundation for building donor trust in the contemporary era.
