CHALLENGES IN THE COLLECTION OF ZAKAT ON AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS

Summary/Abstract: The Islamic Community has been collecting zakat on agricultural products for a long period of time. However, this activity is facing a number of challenges. Those include: the education of jamaats about the regulations regarding the obligation of zakat on agricultural products, the collection, transportation and storage, and distribution of the zakat. The Islamic Community here is responsible for providing a way for the faithful to abide by this religious obligation, to make sure that all the organizational units are acting correctly, timely, and reliably. It is important here to say that the products collected thus are not only a major part of the provision for educational institutions of the Islamic Community, but a significant amount of these products is distributed through the Office for Social Care of the Islamic Community to the institutions that provide for the population at risk of poverty. This article points out the need for further development in regard to receiving, storage, preservation, and distribution of collected agricultural goods.
