Abstract

Zakah as a compulsory worship obligation of Muslims has been practiced for several decades in an institutionalized form in Sri Lanka. Although the institutionalized mechanism contributes to some improvements in socioeconomic conditions, recent research highlighted that the impact of such a model is yet below the expected level. The institutional zakah practice in Sri Lanka has remained essentially informal lacking any state recognition or zakah specific regulation. This paper examined the contemporary challenges and root causes of the zakah institutions’ underperformance in Sri Lanka. This paper took a qualitative methodology and collected primary and secondary data through official documents, interviews, and published literature. The empirical findings of the paper reveal a threefold challenge that contributes to the inefficient institutional zakah performance, namely low collection, ineffective disbursement, and external hurdles. The paper suggests that the prolonged dominant informal and individualist zakah culture of Sri Lankan Muslims fails to actualize the designated goals of zakah and this in turn has contributed to the contemporary challenges. The paper highlights the need for developing an alternative jurisprudential methodology that has the potential to offer sensible remedies to the contemporary identified challenges. The paper suggests that zakah institutions must thoroughly re-evaluate existing zakah applications to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of their zakah management systems. It is also suggested that it would be helpful to establish a National Zakah Consultative Body that can advise the government on adopting effective regulations or guidance relevant to zakah management for the Sri Lankan Muslim minority.

Abstract

This article examines siyasah in classical Sunni fiqh as a form of jurisprudential reasoning, rather than as a theory of state institutions. This study employs a normative qualitative approach using comparative fiqh analysis and contextual jurisprudential interpretation to analyze authoritative classical fiqh texts from the Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi’i, and Hanbali schools pertaining to governance, political authority, public policy, and legal discretion. The comparative method is used to identify patterns of similarities and differences across schools in conceptualizing the relationship between law, political authority, and the public interest, while contextual interpretation is applied to situate fiqh arguments within their historical and methodological contexts. The research findings indicate that doctrinal differences regarding political discretion reflect the plurality of legal rationalities operating within a shared normative horizon, namely justice ('adl) and the public interest (maslahah). Political flexibility in this article is conceptualized as the juristic logic of political flexibility, namely an internally structured and ethically bound legal logic, not a value-free space of political power. This article concludes that siyasah syar'iyah is an integral form of bound discretion within the Islamic legal system, offering a historical, contextual-methodological, and non-reductionist framework for contemporary studies of Islamic law and politics.
