Empowering Productive Zakat to Enhance Economic Welfare: A Qualitative Study

Islam perfectly regulates the order of life, not only matters of worship to God, but also matters of muamalah, such as the relationship between humans, the relationship between humans and animals, and the relationship between humans and nature, including socio-culture, agriculture, technology, and economy. The qualitative research method used in this study produces written data that is descriptive in nature and includes information from related agencies in the research subject. This study relies mainly on library research. The way zakat is given and how mustahik spends zakat funds determines the distribution of productive zakat in general. Then, each of these consumption and production needs is divided into two categories: traditional consumption and creative consumption. On the other hand, production needs are divided into conventional productive and creative productive categories.
