Abstract

This paper analyzes the behavior of muzakki (zakat contributors) in Indonesia in selecting zakat methods. In the Prophet and Khulafa 'al-Rasyhidin’s era, muzakki paid zakat to zakat officer either for apparent or non-apparent property. However, in Uthman b. Affan era, it was different. The question is, how muzakki in Indonesia pay zakat for their property? Using descriptive statistics, Pearson Chi Square and Contingency Coefficient test, the main findings reveal that zakat is paid through three methods – directly to mustahiq, through zakat institution and combination of both methods. Muzakki prefers mosque to formal zakat institution, BAZ and LAZ. The methods selection to pay zakat is significantly associated with monthly income, education and age. Zakat payment through BAZ and LAZ is mostly carried out by done by more muzakki who have high monthly income, high level of education, and young age.   Â
