Abstract

As prescribed by shari'ah, zakah is distributed to eight (8) groups of asnaf. There are different mechanisms in Malaysia to distribute zakah, such as financial support for living, education, medical, et cetera. One of the financial supports from zakah is to motivate the beneficiary of zakah by supplying zakah fund for business purposes. This study will explore the practise of capital assistance among zakah institutions in Malaysia. The information for this research was gathered through interviews conducted between July and September 2019. The findings indicate that, out of fourteen (14) states in Malaysia, only one state does not include zakah for business purposes, which is Sarawak or Tabung Baitulmal Sarawak.
