Abstract

This study explores the potential of zakat as an alternative fiscal instrument in supporting economic development in Indonesia. Zakat, a mandatory charitable contribution in Islam, has the ability to address poverty, reduce income inequality, and contribute to economic growth. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 80 respondents, including zakat payers, recipients, and administrators, through a Likert-scale survey. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 26 to evaluate the impact of zakat distribution efficiency and utilization on poverty reduction and economic development. The results demonstrate that both zakat distribution efficiency and utilization significantly contribute to poverty reduction and economic development, supporting the hypothesis that zakat can play a crucial role as a fiscal tool. The study's findings suggest that improving zakat management practices and aligning zakat utilization with long-term development goals could enhance its impact on Indonesia's economic growth.

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of Fatwas issued by the National Sharia Council-Indonesian Ulema Council (DSN-MUI) as a foundational regulatory framework for Islamic finance in Indonesia. Through a literature review analysis, the research explores the role of these Fatwas in shaping Sharia-compliant financial practices, their integration into regulatory frameworks, and the challenges associated with their application. Key findings highlight the dual role of DSN-MUI Fatwas as theological and regulatory tools, their contribution to ensuring Sharia compliance, and the need for standardized enforcement mechanisms. Drawing lessons from global practices, this study emphasizes the importance of institutional capacity and collaboration in enhancing the effectiveness of DSN-MUI Fatwas. These insights provide a valuable roadmap for advancing Islamic finance in Indonesia, fostering alignment between religious principles and regulatory frameworks.
