Abstract

This study examines the role of digital donation applications in improving the welfare of low-income Muslim families through Islamic philanthropic practices. Using a quantitative approach, the findings indicate that digital donation platforms significantly improve access to social assistance, distribution efficiency, and transparency, thereby strengthening Islamic social welfare mechanisms. The research object focuses on the utilization of digital donation applications in improving the welfare of low-income Muslim families, specifically related to access to social assistance, meeting basic needs, and increasing economic stability. The research method used is a quantitative approach through the distribution of questionnaires to beneficiary families and users of digital donation applications, which are analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical techniques to measure the level of effectiveness of application use and the relationship between intensity of use and improvements in family welfare. The results show that digital donation applications have a significant positive impact in accelerating aid distribution, increasing distribution efficiency, and strengthening accountability for the use of funds, thus contributing directly to improving the ability of low-income families to meet basic needs, reduce economic vulnerability, and obtain social support in a more structured manner. The conclusion of this study confirms that digital donation applications are a strategic instrument in strengthening the social welfare of the community, but their effectiveness still requires support from socialization, increased digital literacy, and the development of features that are more responsive to the needs of vulnerable groups.
