The Use Of Zakat Logo In Optimizing Corporate Zakat Collection According To Maqasid Syariah

Penggunaan Logo Zakat Dalam Mengoptimumkan Kutipan Zakat Korporat Menurut Maqasid Syariah

Abstract

All approaches to increase the collection of corporate zakat should be intensified by the zakat institution and supported by the owners of corporate companies so that the target of annual corporate zakat collection is achieved despite the challenges that need to be passed by the zakat institution. Various initiatives have been implemented by zakat institutions such as LZNK and PPZ-MAIWP by introducing innovative methods of promoting corporate zakat collection through the use of zakat logos on corporate companies in the state of Kedah and the Federal Territory. This effort not only demands the obligation of the amil to collect corporate zakat from corporate companies, but it is also a human need for property to ensure the blessings of corporate companies in their business when paying zakat. Thus, this article aims to discuss the concept of the use of the zakat logo in Malaysia, including its approach according to the maqasid syariah. This article will also examine the challenges faced by zakat institutions in dealing with corporate zakat collection in Malaysia. This qualitative study uses documentation, interview and observation methods in the data collection process. The results of the study found that the use of the zakat logo on corporate companies is able to increase the collection of corporate zakat in addition to achieving the objective of zakat legislation through the care of property in terms of syariah purposes. The study also found that the main challenge faced by zakat institutions in the collection of corporate zakat is the issue of the level of awareness of Muslim traders on the payment of corporate zakat. It is hoped that this study can provide guidance and reference to zakat institutions or certain organizations in managing matters related to corporate zakat collection in facing the challenges of corporate zakat collection in Malaysia. Further research needs to be done to encourage the use of the zakat logo to be applied by all states in Malaysia so that the corporate zakat collection rate can be optimized from time to time.

Segala pendekatan bagi meningkatkan kutipan zakat korporat haruslah dipergiatkan oleh pihak institusi zakat dan disokong oleh pemilik syarikat korporat agar sasaran kutipan zakat korporat tahunan tercapai meskipun terdapat cabaran yang perlu dilalui oleh pihak institusi zakat. Pelbagai inisiatif telah dilaksanakan institusi zakat seperti LZNK dan PPZ-MAIWP dengan memperkenalkan kaedah pempromosian kutipan zakat korporat yang inovatif menerusi penggunaan logo zakat terhadap syarikat korporat di negeri Kedah dan Wilayah Persekutuan. Usaha ini bukan sahaja menuntut kewajipan pihak amil mengutip zakat korporat daripada syarikat korporat, namun ianya juga satu keperluan manusia terhadap harta bagi menjamin keberkatan syarikat korporat dalam perniagaan mereka apabila membayar zakat. Justeru, artikel ini bertujuan untuk membincangkan konsep pengunaan logo zakat di Malaysia termasuk pendekatannya menurut maqasid syariah. Artikel ini juga akan mengkaji cabaran yang dihadapi institusi zakat dalam mendepani kutipan zakat korporat di Malaysia.  Kajian kualitatif ini menggunakan kaedah dokumentasi, temubual dan pemerhatian dalam proses pengumpulan data. Hasil kajian mendapati bahawa penggunaan logo zakat terhadap syarikat korporat mampu meningkatkan kutipan zakat korporat selain mencapai objektif pensyariatan zakat melalui penjagaan harta dalam aspek maqasid syariah. Kajian juga mendapati bahawa cabaran utama yang dihadapi oleh institusi zakat dalam kutipan zakat korporat adalah isu tahap kesedaran peniaga muslim terhadap pembayaran zakat korporat. Diharapkan kajian ini dapat memberikan panduan serta rujukan kepada institusi zakat mahupun organisasi tertentu dalam menguruskan hal ehwal berkaitan kutipan zakat korporat dalam mendepani cabaran kutipan zakat korporat di Malaysia. Kajian lanjutan perlu dilakukan bagi mengalakkan penggunaan logo zakat dapat diaplikasikan oleh semua negeri di Malaysia agar kadar kutipan zakat korporat dapat dioptimumkan dari semasa ke semasa.
