Abstract:

 The aim of the study is to analyze the digital data developed by the algorithm of the Waqfy platform to develop a typology to measure the platform's sensitivity to financialization and performativity of the technique. The typology of analysis constructed from the available data distinguishes five types of waqf projects: (1) the waqf which generates an income; (2) the waqf semi-income - semi-service; (3) the waqf which offers a durable service; (4) the waqf which offers a momentaneous service; and (5) the waqf that finances the creation of awqāf which generates income. The method adopted in this study regarding the available data is of the descriptive analytical type. The two major findings resulting from the typology of analysis developed for this study are: (1) although Waqfy is a funding platform, the influence of this financialist character on the behavior of contributors remains minor for the time being; (2) the performative nature of the technology is not effective in view of the data available to date.
