Zakat, Infaq, Sadaqah, and Waqf: Their Positions in Islam and Their Mustahiq

Abstract

The problem of poverty is always interesting to study because it is a serious problem involving the human dimension. Poverty remains a problem that cannot be considered easy to find a solution for because it has existed for a long time and is a living reality in society. To help poor people, many financial institutions, especially sharia financial institutions, such as amil zakat institutions provide assistance in the form of ZISWAF (Zakat, Infaq, Sadaqah, Waqf) funds. In relation to ziswaf funds, especially zakat funds, zakat amil institutions not only distribute consumptive zakat but also productive zakat or what is usually called productive zakat.
