Abstract

This study aims to develop a digital system for the calculation of zakat on gold and silver. With the advent of digital transformation, current methods of zakat calculation face significant challenges in terms of accuracy, efficiency, and user engagement. Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is used for system development methodology. The findings indicate that the digital system significantly enhances the precision and ease of zakat calculations for gold and silver assets, promoting greater compliance and trust among the zakat payers.
