التطبيق الإجباري للزكاة ودوره في علاج المشكلات الاقتصادية والمجتمعية المعاصرة

الملخص EN

In this research, I have dealt with four topics.

in the first topic, I have talked about the meaning of zakat, its rules and criteria, and its eligible recipients.

the second topic is about obligatory act of zakat and finding suitable solutions to current economic and social problems.

in this topic, I have talked about the role of zakat in solving the problem of unemployment, its role in fighting money hoarding, its main role in funding the development process in Islamic countries, fair redistribution of incomes among individuals and its effect on investment.

in the third topic, I have talked about the ways and techniques which enable the state (country) to implement the obligatory act of zakat.

I have assured that there are most important techniques such as raising awareness among capital owners (capitalists) to accept the idea of collecting zakat, and enacting a law for this act and for organising how to implement it.

i have said that the main obstacles to this act are people’s weak religious deterrent and economic and social crises which Islamic countries face.

in the fourth topic, i have talked about the effects and importance of this act.

I have come to a set of conclusions and recommendations.

here are the most important ones: -zakat is considered one of the dual funding sources as it is a development mechanism and a worship at the same time.

-it is crucial to spread awareness of the importance of zakat through seminars, posters, pamphlets, and publications which encourage Muslims to pay zakat.

weekly sessions should be held in mosques to discuss the importance of zakat.

-using new ways and techniques urge capital owners (capitalists) to pay their zakat.

-enacting a law stating the obligatory act of zakat, the zakat fund office charged with its collection and how to select its members and the conditions that must be met for its membership.
