Abstract

Infaq and shadaqah are fundamental components of the Islamic economic distribution system that play a vital role in achieving social justice and community welfare. In classical fiqh, both are classified as voluntary charitable acts (tathawwu’) that carry profound spiritual value and contribute significantly to economic circulation within society. This study aims to analyze the integration between fiqh principles and Indonesia’s national legal system in the regulation and management of infaq and shadaqah. The specific objectives are to examine their legal foundations, assess their relevance within Indonesia’s positive legal framework, and explore how these instruments can enhance social welfare and economic empowerment among communities. The research employs a descriptive-normative method using a library research approach, focusing on textual and legal analysis of classical fiqh literature, the Qur’an, Hadith, and national regulations, particularly Law No. 23 of 2011 on Zakat Management. Supporting data were obtained from academic books and scholarly journals to strengthen both theoretical and contextual perspectives. The findings indicate that fiqh principles related to infaq and shadaqah are consistent with Indonesia’s national legal system, particularly in promoting justice, welfare, and economic equity. Nevertheless, challenges remain in institutional governance, transparency, and productive fund management. Therefore, strengthening the integration between Islamic and national legal systems is essential to optimize the role of infaq and shadaqah as instruments for economic empowerment and sustainable social development in Indonesia.
