<![CDATA[Abstract This study examines the implementation of basokat, a traditional agricultural zakat practice that continues to be carried out in Nagari Sijunjung, Sijunjung District, Sijunjung Regency, from the perspective of Islamic zakat law. In this tradition, paddy that has reached the zakat nisab is sold, and the proceeds are distributed to community members attending the ceremony without considering their status as mustahik. This study aims to examine the procedure of basokat, identify the factors contributing to its continuity, and analyze its implementation in light of Islamic zakat law. This research employs a qualitative case study approach. Primary data were collected through in-depth interviews with ninik mamak and religious leaders, as well as observation, while secondary data were obtained from relevant documents and literature. The data were systematically recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using a deductive method supported by inductive and descriptive approaches. The findings reveal that basokat is maintained because it promotes social solidarity, preserves local customs, and strengthens community relations. However, its implementation is not fully consistent with Islamic zakat law, particularly regarding nisab determination and zakat distribution, which is not directed exclusively to eligible mustahik as prescribed by Islamic law.]]>
