- Açıklama: The present paper is an attempt to analyze Zakat as the irreducible minimum ingridient of the fiscal policy of an Islamic State. At the very outset it rejects the popular stipulation that fiscal management in an Islamic State is coterminous with Zakat. On the contrary, it assumes the permissibility and also occasional desirability of additional mobilization and also occasional desirability of additional mobilization of resources for state production of “social goods” in an Islamic society. It attempts to incorporate Zakat in the overall framework of fiscal policy and studies it as the “leading sector” of the broader complex of revenue-expenditure pattern of public authorities. Zakat is treated here only as an “economic variable”, though its religious importance cannot be minimised. The general economic significance of Zakat happens to be directional and normative. It defines the norms of economic activity, also of fiscal activity as a subsection thereof and determines, through its effects on economic variables, flows and magnitudes, the direction along which the economy is desired to move. The study assumes a socio-cultural milieu based on Islamic precepts and values. The Islamic fiscal policy can operate only as a complement to other facets of socio-economic policy: its success or failure depends on their availability. It refers to an institutional organisation based on Islamic teachings, some important features of which are as follows: (1) Prohibition of interest (riba). (2) Prohibition of gambling, hoarding and fraudulent trade practices. (3) Imposition of Zakat. In addition to the above, the paper analysis assumes minimum mobility of capital and labour as between the interest-free and interest- based societies. It is argued that since the objectives of fiscal policy are derivative from the overall goals and orientations of the socio- economic policy of a society, the paper indicates its two objectives as follows: (1) To ensure minimum means of livelihood to each and every individual in the community. (2) To ensure productive use of economic resources for the material well-being of the community. Within this framework the paper also discusses income elasticity of Zakat, its stability, contra cyclical use, and multiplier effects. The author advocates the Zakat fund be invested to improve the conditions of the eligible recipients.
