Productive Zakat as a Form of Welfare Improvement for Productive Zakat Mustahiq in Improving the Economy of the People

Abstract

The utilization of productive zakat is the key purpose of the national zakat management institution, the national alms agency (BAZNAS), as a program for channeling zakat to mustahik with long-term utilization. In contrast to productive zakat, consumptive zakat is zakat with quick utilization. Therefore, programs in productive zakat are crucial and need attention. Because the success of productive zakat opens up very wide opportunities for mustahik to get welfare. Thus, BAZNAS launched several zakat utilization programs to achieve the main goal of zakat, namely alleviating the poor so that they are more prosperous and independent. So, the researcher was interested in researching productive Zakat to improve the welfare of productive zakat mustahik in improving the people's economy.
