TINJAUAN HUKUM ISLAM TERHADAP ZAKAT PRODUKTIF UNTUK MODAL USAHA

Abstract

Zakat is an important instrument in Islamic economics. The command for zakat is found in
the third pillar of Islam. Meanwhile, productive zakat is giving zakat which can make the
recipient produce something continuously, with the zakat assets they receive. Zakat is
recommended for every Muslim, which is carried out in the month of Ramadan. Zakat is
given to people in need such as the poor, poor, amil, converts, riqab, gharimin, fisabilillah,
ibn sabil. These eight people are entitled to receive zakat. Distribution of zakat can also be
done through amil zakat institutions, which will later be distributed to people in need. The
aim of this research is to examine Islamic law regarding productive zakat which is used as
business capital. The research method used is qualitative research with library research. The
researcher focused this research by using data from both journals and books related to the
problem being researched. The results of this research are that in a review of Islamic law, the
management of productive zakat is not explicitly stated regarding zakat in productive form
and there are no naqli or sharia arguments that explain this, however there is a gap where
the ulama allow productive form of zakat with the direction of increasing Mustahiq's
economic life. Furthermore, in order for productive zakat funds to be distributed
appropriately, they must be managed properly and correctly so that they are distributed to
people or groups in accordance with Islamic law.
