Abstract

The people of Taddan Village, located in Camplong District, Sampang Regency, recognize zakat fitrah as a religious obligation for Muslims, as it constitutes the third pillar of Islam. However, their comprehensive understanding of zakat fitrah remains limited. The tradition of distributing zakat fitrah to Kyai represents a form of implementation that has been passed down through generations and continues to be preserved in Taddan Village. This study aims to examine the underlying factors behind this tradition, to describe the distribution process, and to assess its role in shaping the community’s social, cultural, and religious life. This research employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive design, focusing on social facts, cultural practices, events, and lived experiences. The findings reveal that the tradition originated from the habit of the Taddan Village community, who gave zakat fitrah to the Islamic boarding schools where their children studied, as an expression of gratitude and respect. Over time, this practice became deeply rooted and evolved into a hereditary tradition. However, when the distribution of zakat fitrah becomes overly centered on Kyai, there is a risk that the poor, who are more in need—receive less benefit. This indicates that the community tends to prioritize fulfilling religious obligations as a form of obedience, without adequately considering the social dimensions, particularly the fairness of distribution and the productive use of zakat fitrah.

Abstract

This study explores the social phenomenon of paying zakat fitrah twice a year, especially among children from divorced families. The study was conducted in Sumenep Regency, Madura. The main issue addressed is the legal validity of double zakat fitrah payments according to the perspectives of Islamic jurists specialising in economic fiqh The research method employed was a literature review using a descriptive-analytical approach to both classical and contemporary literature. The researcher examined the views of the four main schools of Islamic jurisprudence  as well as Yusuf alQaradawi and Wahbah Zuhaili. Data was collected through interviews with residents of Gersik Putih Village to understand the social phenomenon. The research findings indicate that all fiqh schools agree that zakat fitrah is only obligatory to be paid once a year. If zakat is paid more than once on behalf of one individual, the second payment is considered as charity. The phenomenon of double zakat fitrah for children from divorced families is caused by three main reasons: lack of community understanding of zakat law; parents' desire to contribute equally without clear coordination; and lack of socialisation. This study recommends the importance of education on zakat law and strengthening the role of religious leaders in socialising fiqh zakat to the community.
