Abstract

Knowledge about the zakat distribution method is a vital issue because it leaves an impact on the converts regarding fairness and satisfaction. The aim of the study is to analyze the zakat distribution method in the state of Selangor. In addition, the study is to delve into statistics in the form of assistance programs received by the converts in Selangor. The study employs a mixed method that incorporates both quantitative and qualitative studies. The quantitative study employs the questionnaire instrument to survey 454 converts in Selangor. Meanwhile, the qualitative study employs the library study. The findings of the study indicate that there are twelve zakat distribution methods. The study also shows statistics in the form of assistance programs received by converts.There are fifteen forms of aid received by converts. On the one hand, the highest forms of assistance received by converts are the hari raya allowance and monthly financial assistance, which amounted to 54.4% and 47.6%, respectively. On the other hand, the lowest form of assistance program is printing and publication assistance, which amounts to 7%. The implication signifies that the zakat distribution method is disseminated either in the form of money or services. Thus, the study finds that the zakat authority in Selangor has fairly distributed the funds among 1/8 of the zakat recipients.
