Zakat is an obligation to give part of the wealth owned by a Muslim to those who are entitled to receive it as a form of obedience to Allah. The main purpose of zakat is to help ease the burden of those who are less fortunate and improve social inequality. The purpose of this study is to analyze the level of knowledge and understanding of the Muslim community in paying zakat on citrus commodities. The study uses a qualitative approach. Primary data were obtained through interviews and secondary data were obtained fromjournals, books, research results and a large number of literature or academic studies. The results of this study are that only a few Muslim communities in Kerinci Regency know and understand about the expenditure of trade zakat. They only know about zakat fitrah which is issued annually, but there are also those who know about the expenditure of trade zakat. However, it is still not issued. Therefore, the level of knowledge and understanding of the Muslim community in Kerinci Regency in paying zakat on citrus commodities is still classified as low.
