The research method used by the author is to use qualitative research methods. Meanwhile, when viewed from the research sources, this research can be categorized as library research. The results of this study indicate that the purpose of zakat which is to be herded as described by Wahbah Zuhaili is to be fat, reproduce quickly and in large numbers.
