Abstract

This study investigates the issues pertaining to governance practices of the formal zakat institution in Saudi Arabia, GAZT. It also attempts to develop a framework which explains how to improve zakat compliance through good governance. In order to achieve its objectives, the study employs a content analysis of relevant literature and qualitative interviews. Specifically, a total of 21 interviews were conducted with zakat experts in Saudi Arabia who represent diverse backgrounds to explore the issues and factors related to zakat governance-compliance relationship. The findings of the interviews’ analysis suggested several issues that likely affect zakat payers’ compliance in the Saudi context. These issues included the lack of control mechanisms that guarantee zakat payers’ compliance, the perceived image of the GAZT role in relation to zakat, the lack of trust, and issues affecting the perceived procedural fairness. In addition, the analysis of the qualitative interviews was used to develop a framework that explains how to improve zakat compliance through good governance. This study contributes to the literature by investigating governance issues and challenges to improving zakat payers’ compliance. Also, it provides practical implications for zakat administrators, especially in Saudi Arabia, to address these issues and improve the effectiveness of the zakat authority.

Abstract

The implementation of Good Amil Governance as one of the important aspects of a standard of international zakat management, which is stated in Zakat Core Principles, requires an approach that is more than just amil competence and qualification aspects. The psychological perspective of amil also needs to be considered to obtain and maintain the best human resources. As a profession that is oriented towards social benefits, an amil has different working rhythm and consequences. This research aims to measure level of amil’s happiness in the workplace and further study its impact on amil productivity. The result shows that amil is a satisfying job. Further, the most blissful factor for amil is work motivation, while the most unhappy factor for amil is the career path, which seems to be less promising. In addition, the happiness level of amil has a positive relationship with his or her productivity level. Therefore, psychology condition of an amil should be considered in order to increase the performance of zakat institutions.

Abstract

India is the home country for many Muslims and effective management of zakah is essential to the country. In this era of technology, it is imperative to use technology with zakat to ensure that the classical zakat administration approaches are upgraded to the uruf or customary practices of the society. The objective of this paper is to find out the potential of using technology in upgrading zakat administration in India. This is a qualitative approach where the primary sources such as zakat administration laws in India and secondary sources such as journal articles and published reports on the subject are analysed to derive conclusions. The findings of this paper suggest that the innovations such as rice ATMs, mobile applications, applications made with blockchain technology, artificial intelligence and big data can also play a vital role in the effective management of zakat in India. It is anticipated that the outcome of this research will assist the zakat administrators in India to adopt technology in this regard.
