Abstract

The Amendment to The Law Number 38 of 1999 on Management of Zakat being discussed by Parliament today. The discussion looks contestation between civil society and the state, which there is the tendency of governments who want to take the role of the management of alms from the public and civil society that sustain the management of zakat in order not to be taken by the government. This paper is intended to identify a centralized system that will be applied in a change of Act No. 38 of 1999 concerning the management of zakat. The conclusion that can be given to the implementation of centralized management system of zakat, infaq, and shodaqoh is centralization allows coordination both in fundraising and spreading. So expect more maximum utilization. But there must be clear separation of roles between, the government and the private sector in the management of zakat, infaq, and shodaqoh. The government acts as regulator and supervisor. While zakat management institutions strengthened its position by being given a wider latitude for economic improvement and community welfare.
