Furthermore, regulatory support also enhanced this relationship by providing good institutional climate that enhanced compliance, innovation and operational legitimacy. The implication of the research conducted by the policy makers, the Islamic financial institutions, the technology developers, and the Waqf administrators seeking to build up ethically oriented and technologically advanced financial solutions is great. It contributes to the literature, in that Maqasid al-Shariah, digital trust, and regulatory support are all combined within the Smart Waqf Sukuk framework. .
