Zakat in the socio-economic structure of society needs to be managed productively and professionally so that it leads the welfare of society. This study aims to reveal standards for the allocation of zakat social funds as an operational expense for nonprofit organizations. This research uses a descriptive qualitative type. We analyse secondary data retrieved in nonprofit organizations in three different countries (Indonesia, Sudan and Algeria). The result of the study revealed that Indonesia has two types of zakat management institutions, the National Amil Zakat Agency (BAZNAS) and Amil Zakat Institute (LAZ). Furthermore, Sudan possesses the Sudanese Zakah Chamber (SZC) or the Zakat Council and Algeria has Kotak Zakat. The pattern of zakat collection in Indonesia applies payments with a voluntary principle, however the zakat has been integrated with taxes so that they can submit claims for zakat payments. In Sudan, payments are made on the principle of mandatory for its citizens accompanied by sanctions for those who ignore it and nonmuslims are obliged to pay a social solidarity tax. Meanwhile, in Algeria, payments are made on a mandatory basis for private companies and voluntary for individuals. In addition, in the pattern of zakat distribution, the three countries distribute according to the guidance of the Qur'an (8 Asnaf) but have slight differences in the priority scale in which Indonesia prioritizes distribution to the poor, Sudan prioritizes the needs of each Mustahik and Muzakki is allowed to distribute to relatives as much as 20% of the obligatory zakat, meanwhile Algeria which prioritizes the poor, people in need and Fisabilillah. Then, the standard for the allocation of zakat social funds that may be taken as operational costs for nonprofit organizations handling zakat in the three countries is 12.5%.

The finding of the study discloses that the opinion of the Halal Product Guarantee Agency of the Ministry Religious Affairs in South Sumatera, still allows food that has not been halal-labelled to be sold. Products that do not yet have a halal certificate are not immediately punished but are still given the opportunity to take care of halal certification until 17 October 2024 and have been regulated in Article 33 of the Law of the Republic of Indonesia No. 33 of 2014.

Online Donation for Charitable Giving: The Case of Yayasan Kebaikan Ummat

Selvi Apriliani, Cucu Susilawati — Thu, 29 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The burgeoning trend of online donations has assumed prominence within society. This research endeavors to elucidate the intricacies involved in the collection, management, and distribution of online donation by Yayasan Sinergi Kebaikan Ummat. It seeks to identify the contractual frameworks employed in the online donation process, while also examining the legal dimensions of online donations through the lens of Sharia Economic Law. The type of this research is qualitative. Data collection techniques encompass indirect observation, interviews, and documentation review. The data analysis is underpinned by the premise that muamalah activities, whether conducted directly or indirectly, are permissible unless explicitly proscribed. The legal framework governing muamalah derives from the Qur'an and Hadith, which establish the principles congruent with Sharia, aimed at fostering societal justice. The findings of this research reveal that Yayasan Kebaikan Ummat, acting as a campaigner, assumes the role of a third-party intermediary in the donation process. Here, the donor represents the first party, while the online platform serves as the second party. The process of raising donations involves several contractual arrangements, including ijarah, wakalah bil ujrah, and jualah contracts, all of which entail the provision of wages (ujrah). The administration fee established by the platform, termed ujrah, serves as compensation for the campaigner's fundraising assistance. Consequently, online donations facilitated through these platforms are permissible, primarily due to the incorporation of the tabarru' contract within the arrangement.
