In an era increasingly dominated by cashless transactions, a student is proposing innovative methods to digitize religious charitable giving. The article highlights the growing trend away from physical currency and explores how this impacts the collection and distribution of Zakat, Infaq, and Sadaqah (ZISWAF). The initiative, spearheaded by Dimas Arisandi, a student at Universitas KH. Mukhtar Syafaat Blokagung Banyuwangi, seeks to bridge the gap between traditional religious practices and modern digital payment systems.

Arisandi's exploration into digitalizing ZISWAF aims to make charitable giving more accessible and convenient for the contemporary Muslim community. As more people rely on digital platforms for everyday transactions, adapting charitable mechanisms to this environment becomes crucial. This approach could potentially increase engagement and streamline the process for donors, ensuring that religious obligations are met efficiently in a cashless society.
