Determination of Criteria for Income Zakat Recipients in Islamic Law at the Amil Zakat Infaq and Shodaqoh Muhammadiyah Institutions
DOI: https://doi.org/10.26618/04kymm32
Abstract
Increasingly diverse socio-economic changes require zakat institutions to adjust the procedure for determining mustahik so that the distribution of income zakat takes place appropriately and in accordance with the principles of justice. This study aims to examine how LAZISMU Metro formulates the criteria for income zakat recipients and assesses its conformity with the principles of Islamic law. Through a qualitative approach, data was obtained from interviews with zakat managers and recipients as well as a review of official institutional documents. The findings of the study show that although LAZISMU Metro still makes eight asnaf as the basis of sharia, the institution makes practical adjustments to respond to today's social developments. The process of determining mustahik is carried out through systematic administrative stages, including submitting forms, field observations, verification, and determination in institutional meetings. The novelty of this research lies in the identification that operational modifications to asnaf can be carried out without deviating from the framework of maqāṣid al-syarī'ah, so that zakat plays a role not only as short-term assistance, but also as an instrument of empowerment and improvement of sustainable welfare. Thus, this study emphasizes the urgency of sharia-based flexibility so that zakat management remains adaptive to contemporary social challenges.
