Abstract

Zakat fund management is an important instrument in promoting community welfare through the economic empowerment of the ummah. Although zakat governance has been widely studied, research that specifically analyzes the processes of collecting, distributing, and the constraints in managing zakat funds at the National Zakat Agency (BAZNAS) of Bukittinggi City remains limited. This study aims to analyze zakat fund management at BAZNAS of Bukittinggi City and identify the constraints encountered in its implementation. This study employed a qualitative approach with a case study design, involving the leaders and administrators of BAZNAS of Bukittinggi City as well as several beneficiaries or mustahik selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation, and were then analyzed using the interactive analysis model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results show that zakat fund management has been implemented through collection and distribution mechanisms that are in accordance with the provisions of Islamic law and the principles of organizational management. However, the optimization of zakat management still faces constraints in the form of low community participation outside the State Civil Apparatus (ASN), the suboptimal use of digital technology, and the dominance of consumptive distribution programs. These findings strengthen the application of George R. Terry’s management theory and the principles of good governance in the management of zakat institutions. The conclusion of this study emphasizes the importance of improving collection strategies, management transparency, service digitalization, and the development of productive zakat programs to increase the effectiveness of zakat management. The implications of the study include theoretical contributions to the development of zakat management studies and practical implications for BAZNAS in strengthening zakat governance that is more transparent, adaptive, and oriented toward the economic empowerment of mustahik.

Review

This study, "Analisis Pengelolaan Dana Zakat di BAZNAS Kota Bukittinggi," addresses a critical gap in the literature by focusing on the specific processes and constraints of zakat fund management in a particular regional context. The chosen qualitative approach, employing a case study design with in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation, is highly appropriate for exploring the nuances of zakat collection and distribution. The research clearly identifies that BAZNAS Bukittinggi's current management adheres to Islamic law and organizational principles, laying a foundational understanding of its operations, while also effectively highlighting key areas for improvement. The methodology and clear articulation of objectives contribute to the study's initial strength and relevance. While the study successfully identifies pertinent constraints such as low participation from non-ASN community members, suboptimal digital technology integration, and a predominant focus on consumptive distribution, the abstract could benefit from a slightly deeper indication of the analysis around these issues. Specifically, how the findings "strengthen" George R. Terry's management theory and good governance principles could be elaborated with more precision in the abstract. This would help clarify whether the study merely applies these theories as a framework or genuinely contributes novel insights that enhance the existing theoretical understanding beyond an illustrative application within this specific context. Despite these minor points, the study offers valuable contributions, particularly through its practical implications for BAZNAS Bukittinggi. The recommendations for improving collection strategies, management transparency, service digitalization, and shifting towards more productive zakat programs are highly actionable and crucial for maximizing zakat's potential for economic empowerment. This research not only enriches the theoretical landscape of zakat management studies but also provides a concrete roadmap for BAZNAS to foster more transparent, adaptive, and impactful governance. Future research could usefully build on these findings by evaluating the implementation of the proposed strategies or conducting comparative analyses with other zakat institutions facing similar challenges.
