Abstract
Questions arise on the efficiency of zakat collection and distribution and its socio-economic effects from Maqasid al-Shariah perspective. This paper attempts to expound some anticipated objectives (maqasid) and wisdoms of zakat obligation which is one of the pillars of Islam. In relation to this, there are some current issues pertaining to the collection of zakat such as the legitimacy of zakat on paper money, commercial crops and fruits, different kinds of incomes and mechanisms to improve zakat collection and distributions. This paper proposes some suggestions to address those issues with the anticipation that the contemporary zakat system will stay align with the broader objectives of Islamic law, including justice, equity, and social welfare.
