Abstract

One of the important aspects in increasing zakat management is regarding the accuracy of the implementation of zakat collection strategies. As stated within the BAZNAS RI Strategic Plan Year 2020-2025, the main priority program to achieve the collection targets is through mapping the zakat potential based on the respective areas starting from the District/City levels, to the Provincial and finally National levels. Through utilizing the IPPZ measurement method, the zakat potential of BAZNAS RI which has been mapped in this study covers the following zakat objects: zakat on income of civil workers from ministries and government institutions, zakat on income of national corporate employees, zakat on income of TNI (the national army) and national police, zakat on income of BI and OJK employees, zakat on income of State-Owned Enterprises employees, ans zakat on income of DPR RI (House of People Representatives) members. The results of the measurement show that the total zakat potential of BAZNAS RI sums up to Rp 5,8 trillion.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the economic opportunities of paying zakat al-fitr with rice instead of money. As known, the school of Maliki, Shafi’i and Hanbali states that zakat al-fitr can only be paid in the form of staple foods for the local community, in contrast to Imam Hanafi who allows zakat al-fitr with money. This study applies an exploratory method. The results show that based on the rice supply chain, zakat al-fitr with rice creates economic opportunity namely potential of zakat al-fitr rice procurement, rice supply chain added value, selling special package of zakat al-fitr rice, farm worker empowerment, engagement of supply chain support, application of salam contracts and collection of zakat on agricultural products. These results imply that loss of economic opportunities occurs when Muslims pay zakat al-fitr with money instead of rice. This study recommends that paying zakat with staple food can enhance the sustainable socio-economic growth of the ummah.

Abstract

Indonesia, as the country with the largest Muslim population in the world, certainly has a zakat system managed by the Amil Zakat Agency (BAZNAS) and the Amil Zakat Institution (LAZ) which is regulated in Law Number 23 of 2011 concerning Zakat Management. In practice, the management of zakat has not been carried out properly because there are still many people who pay zakat, not through amil institutions but directly hand it over to the community. So, zakat funds collected in institutions are not optimal and have an impact on the gaps that arise between the potential and the realization of zakat. This study aims to determine the management of zakat institutions in Indonesia and educate the public to pay zakat through institutions. This research is qualitative with a literature review model based on SWOT analysis. In the results of the analysis, it was found that there is a need for an appropriate strategy to correct deficiencies and fend off threats that exist in zakat institutions. These strategies include: (1) increasing the professionalism of zakat management through increasing incentives both material and non-material, then providing training and amil certification in collaboration with BNSP; (2) adapting information technology for efficient and effective governance as a means of transparency of zakat institutions and; (3) encouraging the literacy level of zakat awareness to the public by outreach, creating interesting educational content about zakat fiqh and collaborating with Islamic boarding schools and schools to form a zakat curriculum.

Abstract

Zakah is an important instrument in life because it not only sees the side of divine worship but also has a close relationship with social and economic values. Zakah can be an alternative to eradicate poverty by helping each other in need in the form of infaq, shadaqah and waqaf. Thus, the large number of Muslims in Indonesia is also a sign that the potential for ZISWAF to be collected in Indonesia is also very large. However, the realization of the collection and distribution of Zakah, Infak, Shadaqah and Wakaf (ZISWAF) funds in Indonesia is still relatively low compared to its potential. One of the factors influencing the low level of public literacy regarding Zakah and Waqf. The purpose of this research is to identify and provide input in the form of strategies that can be implemented to increase Zakah and Waqf literacy in society. This study uses a qualitative approach combined with literature study methods. The results of this study were found in 20 scientific journals consisting of a Strategy for Increasing Content or Promotion and Dissemination of Sustainable Zakah and Waqf, Strategies for Conducting Zakah and Waqf Education for Young Generation in Families and Education, Strategies for Collaborating Zakah and Waqf Institutions with E- commerce and Strategy to Strengthen Zakah and Waqf institutions in Indonesia. With the strategy of increasing Zakah and Waqf literacy, it is hoped that the government can implement this strategy so that Zakah and Waqf literacy in society increases and the acquisition of Zakah and waqf funds also increases. Thus, the collection and management of Zakah and waqf can be more optimal and achieve the expected potential.
