Keturunan Jebat, Muslimah in Malaysia:

that’s why the local authority, the Amirs, are needed, instead of the formal state apparatus to collect and distribute the zakat. And it has to be in gold or silver coinage.

We have been able to do it in Indonesia, alhamdulillah, albeit in small scale. Last year more than 8.000 Dirhams coins had been distributed in various places. We organized markets where the coins were used as medium of exchange, so that the recipient were able to spent their coins.

u have spoken the bitter truth,many modernist ulamah are ardent supporters of modern forms of riba,eg,islamic banks,secular banks,paper and other fiat currencies,insurance,etc.and they refuse to listen to voice of reason when they are guided.

Aslmkm Brother and Sister Muslims,

We in Malaysia are fortunate that we have formalize the process of collecting zakat through various zakat agencies that is established at the state level in our country. Even though zakat is not compulsory due to seclarism of our statutes or law, the zakat collection itself has grown as the awareness of paying zakat is one of the five pillars of Islam.

What has been disturbing for me, there are indication of abuse of the money being collected are not being channelled to the rightful receiving party and is being manipulated to benefit the people in power.

There are no transparencies in terms of amount being collected versus amount being distributed. Therefore it is eroding the confidence of people paying the zakat. How sure are they the money paid for zakat is being used or distributed as decreed by Allah SWT?

Just some thought on the subject matter.
