Zakat For Disaster Victims: A Study On The Eligibility Of Zakat Recipients As Asnaf Al-Gharimin (Debtors)
Keywords:
Asnaf, al-Gharimin, Zakat, Disaster, VictimsAbstract
This scientific study was conducted to review the Islamic law of distributing zakat money to disaster victims through asnaf al-gharimin or people who bear the burden of debts. The research method used is qualitative. Data was collected through the documentation method. At the same time, content analysis based on primary and secondary data was carried out to identify the evidence or argument brought to support any decided law that is Al-Quran and Sunnah dan the views of Islamic Scholars about zakat for disaster victims from the context of asnaf al-gharimin. This study also observed the types of zakat distribution given by the states in Malaysia for those types of asnaf. Based on the findings, assistance given by zakat centres in Malaysia to disaster victims is mostly through asnaf fakir (the poor), fi sabilillah (under dakwah and humanitarian activities) and some parts through asnaf al-gharimin (debtors). Zakat aid for victims affected by the COVID-19 pandemic was also provided by the zakat centres. Through this study, Muslims will be able to evaluate the foundations used by the Scholars in ijtihad so zakat asnaf al-gharimin can be distributed to disaster victims and hence extends the assistance to Muslims burdened with the effects of a disaster. The researcher also suggests a few recipient categories that can be included under this asnaf and proposals for the type of assistance that can be provided for disaster victims.
