The Problems Of Zakat Management In Indonesia

Abstract

The potential for zakat receipts in Indonesia in 2020 is very large, amounting to Rp. 327.6 trillion. However, the results of zakat collection in 2021 only reached 14 trillion likes. This is due to the management of zakat that is not optimal. The purpose of this study is to analyze the problems that occur in the management of zakat and provide solutions in an effort to increase zakat acceptance in Indonesia. The method used is a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach. Data collection techniques use purposive sampling by selecting informants from the Baznas Central Board, Regional Baznas Management, academics, community leaders, religious leaders and muzakki. The results showed that so far the zakat management implemented was less effective and the human resources of zakat managers were inadequate. The findings of this study provide solutions to conduct management recruitment, improve competence through training, establish good communication between managers and muzakki and improve the welfare of zakat managers.
