Development of a Green Halal Business Framework through Zakat Optimization (Study on Z-Chicken at BAZNAS RI)

Abstract

Indonesia as a country with the largest Muslim population in the world has great potential in the development of the halal industry. The development of the halal industry not only emphasizes the halal aspects of ingredients and production processes, but also increasingly demands attention to environmental sustainability. This gave birth to the idea of a halal green business, which is a business that combines sharia principles with the concept of ecological sustainability and community welfare. The purpose of this research is to formulate a green halal business framework based on zakat study on Z Chicken at BAZNAS RI. The research method used is qualitative with a case study approach, data is obtained through interviews, observations, and documentation from the management and mustahik of productive zakat beneficiaries. The results of the study show that productive zakat has a strategic role in encouraging the birth of green halal businesses by providing access to capital, managerial coaching, and strengthening sustainability values. The integration of sharia principles, environmental sustainability, and social responsibility can increase business competitiveness and contribute to community welfare. Thus, the concept of green halal business through zakat optimization can be an innovative model in developing Indonesia's halal industry that is not only profit-oriented, but also ethical, sustainable, and for the benefit of the people.
