Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Zakat is one of the most essential instruments in the Islamic economic system, functioning not only as an act of worship but also as a social responsibility to assist the poor. This study aims to analyze the role of zakat management in tackling poverty in Tulungagung Regency. The research employed a qualitative method using a field study approach. Data were collected through interviews with BAZNAS Tulungagung, documentation of zakat collection and distribution infographics from 2020 to 2024, and the 2024 Zakat Impact Survey (Kajian Dampak Zakat/KDZ). The findings reveal that productive zakat programs, including the Living Expenses Program, business capital assistance, livestock farming, creative industry programs, and educational scholarships, have positively contributed to improving the welfare of mustahik. Based on the KDZ survey, 43 out of 85 mustahik (50.59%) moved into the extreme poverty alleviation category. These results indicate that zakat effectively serves as a strategic socio-economic instrument for poverty alleviation and sustainable community welfare development in Tulungagung.
