Discussion

This study compares zakat and tax in Islamic law, highlighting legal differences and implications for social welfare.

Zakat serves as a divinely mandated financial tool for wealth redistribution, while tax is state-imposed and adjustable.
Findings reveal that zakat was originally state-administered but evolved into an individual responsibility over time.
The research utilizes a comparative analysis to explore the legal definitions, collection mechanisms, and economic impacts of zakat and tax.
While zakat promotes fixed rates for designated recipients, tax's flexibility can contribute to equity in modern economies.
