How is the Transparency of Zakat Management Entities in Indonesia?

Abstract

Zakat is the third pillar of Islam. Zakat must meet the requirements of meeting the nisab. The potential for zakat in Indonesia reaches IDR 233.8 trillion, but its realization has only reached IDR 10.2 trillion. This study aims to measure the transparency index of zakat management entities in three dimensions: financial transparency, management, and programs. This study quantitatively measured using a descriptive approach. Data were collected through questionnaires from zakat management entities, namely DompetDhuafa, Indonesian Zakat Initiative, and BaitulmaalMuamalat. The data were processed using a multistage weight index model. A non-probability sampling approach with purposive sampling was used for the sample selection. This study indicates that the transparency index values of the three LAZs are in the transparent category. The Indonesian Zakat Initiative (n=0.90), BaitulmaalMuamalat (n=0.85), and DompetDhuafa (n=0.83). Initiative Zakat Indonesia (IZI) obtained the highest index value in the financial dimension. BaitulmaalMuamalat obtained the highest index value in the financial dimension. DompetDhuafa obtained the highest index value in the management dimension. Thus, the three LAZs must continue to maintain and increase the value of the transparency index to maintain a good zakat management entity.

Zakat Performance: The Role of Management Decision in Spiritual Servant Government Commitment

“…The government should improve Zakat management for economic development and communal growth, promoting Islamic values and ensuring non-payers' rights and responsibilities. Current laws only regulate sanctions for Zakat money misuse, but following these laws can boost trust in Zakat organizations and improve corporate performance (Bahri et al, 2021). Alkahtani et al (2020) concluded that government financial and non-financial management decisions can support corporate performance and competitiveness, a sustainable competitive position partially mediates government support and corporate success.…”

“…A high level of public trust in Zakat management institutions can help them fulfill their obligations with a sense of security and comfort (Maciejczyk, 2021). Muzakki will be more likely to be satisfied with a service if it exceeds his expectations (Bahri et al, 2021). The credibility of a Zakat institution is measured by the Muzakki's level of trust in collecting, managing and distributing Zakat.…”

“…Tanpa adanya sifat ini, kehancuran perekonomian akan segera tampak. Sikap amanah akan menunjukkan tingginya moral pengelola zakat sehingga BAZ/LAZ akan bisa berjalan dan teksis di masyarakat (Hasanah, 2014;Bahri et al, 2021). Namun, jika yang terjadi sebaliknya otomatis lembaga zakat itu hilang dengan sendirinya karena masyarakat sudah tidak percaya.…”

A Biblioshiny Application Using R On Zakat Index

“…The potential of zakat in Indonesia reaches IDR233.8 trillion, but the realization has only reached IDR10.2 trillion (Bahri et al, 2021). One of the reasons this problem can occur is because muzaqqi believe in something other than channeling their zakat funds through institutions.…”
