This study focuses urgent issue directly related to whether the LGBT community is eligible as a mustahik right holder (zakat recipient) under Islamic law. This study is a normative legal study using the maṣlāḥah mursalaḥ approach. The data analyzed is literature from books of fiqh scholars, textbooks, scientific journals, and other sources. Result of this study shows that Islam can regulate the management of zakat assets through the socio-economic empowerment of the people, preventing wealth accumulation in one group and reducing poverty. Mustahik, previously limited to short-term goals and institutional charity, now appears to have long-term benefits, including reducing poverty and empowering the community's economy. Mustahik is also useful for marginalized people, people with disabilities, and people experiencing moral and social deprivation, including mental health. The fact that the spread of this group is not limited to social media, but has also spread to campuses, schools, and being part of modern lifestyle needs urgent responses from various stakeholders, particularly in distributing zakat for LGBT community in Indonesia. The LGBT group is a legal reality that arises due to psychological and medical factors and entities caused by deviant associations. This research contributes to the Indonesian government's strategic steps to address the LGBT through zakat empowerment. So that in this way the group slowly through rehabilitation using zakat they experience awareness about life behavior that is in accordance with Islamic law in a dignified way.

Purpose: Although speech-language pathologists have provided gender-affirming voice training for trans women since the 1970s, evidence for this training's effectiveness remains weak. Our study aimed to redress limitations of earlier studies and evaluate voice training effects on outcomes important to trans women. Method: Seventy-four trans women (19–54 years old) who wanted a more female-sounding voice were recruited through two health facilities and provided with an eight- to 12-session voice training program based on contemporary literature, usual clinical practice, and client-centered care principles. Self-reported outcomes and an audio-recorded reading sample were collected 3 months before, immediately before and after, and 3 months after training. Forty cisgender speakers were audio-recorded reading the same sample material as comparison voices. Seventy-nine naive listeners made gender-related voice ratings of an extract from these audio recordings. Training effectiveness was evaluated using group-level analyses (linear mixed-effects models) and individual-level analyses to establish what proportion of participants improved to a predetermined relevant degree. Results: Group-level analyses demonstrated positive training effects, maintained 3 months posttraining, for trans women's vocal satisfaction, perceptions of voice-related social participation, and self- and listener perceptions of their voices. Individual-level analyses also demonstrated positive effects. Two thirds of trans women increased vocal satisfaction to a relevant degree, one third who reported restricted social participation before training reduced this restriction to a relevant degree, and all were rated more female-sounding after training (although not all to a relevant degree). Conclusions: All trans women participants made progress toward their voice goals and maintained those gains at follow-up. These findings provide evidence that gender-affirming speech-language pathology services warrant prioritization. Further research is warranted to investigate factors predicting outcomes of voice training for trans women.
