With the lack of literacy related to money waqf, people do not understand what money waqf is, so that its great potential cannot be optimized. The opportunity for waqf in Indonesia is very large. This is due to the majority of the population being Muslims (Rinawati, 2021).. The purpose of this study is to find out the Optimization of Money Waqf Collection Using a Digital System from the Perspective of Sharia Economic Law (Study Study at the Indonesian Waqf Agency (BWI). The type of research conducted by the researcher is qualitative case studies. Qualitative data is data in the form of words, not in the form of numbers. Qualitative data is obtained through various data collection techniques such as interviews, document analysis, focused discussions, or observations that have been outlined in field notes (transcripts). The results of the research found that legally, there are regulations that allow money waqf, including the fatwa of the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) with the provision of distributing money waqf only for things that do not violate sharia and are right on target to people in need. With the digital regulation of waqf that is still common, the mechanism of the digital system in collecting money waqf is still not optimal and is still in the stage of finding a pattern in the collection of digital-based waqf. Then the potential for money waqf is very large and must be optimized. However, the existing potential must also be balanced with innovative programs so that the number of collections is also optimal.
