The mechanism for distributing productive zakat funds begins with submitting an application, reviewing the results of the application, survey, until the disbursement of funds then monitoring evaluation and mentoring of fostered partners. Optimizing productive zakat funds requires several strategies including strengthening legality, strengthening effective ZIS collection, transparent management of zakat funds, partnership and collaboration approaches, developing productive programs, technological innovation, strengthening Baznas as amil. A more in-depth study is needed to determine productive mustahiks, maximize business feasibility surveys, and need to add and strengthen assistants who will provide assistance to mustahiks in running their businesses.
