Mekanisme Pendistribusian Zakat Fitrah Secara Menyeluruh di Desa Papan Kabupaten Bantaeng

Abstract

The distribution of zakat fitrah in Papan Loe Village, Bantaeng Regency, is shaped by local traditions, habits of zakat administrators, and perceptions of administrators and the village head. However, management lacks systematization, resulting in no fixed amount or designated recipients, with zakat distributed equally to all villagers regardless of economic status. This qualitative case study employed observation, interviews, literature review, and triangulation for data collection, followed by reduction, display, verification, and conclusion drawing. The absence of accurate data collection leads to economically capable individuals receiving zakat, rendering the practice inconsistent with Sharia, which mandates distribution to the eight Quranic asnaf categories. Accurate data collection is essential to ensure zakat fitrah distribution aligns with Islamic law and principles of justice.
