- Açıklama: This paper presents an administrative set-up for the collection and the distribution of Zakah by an Islamic state. The author’s contention is that the collection and the distribution of Zakah should be supervised by the Islamic state in order to ensure that Zakah is appropriately assessed and distributed to the specified categories of recipients. In this, the author urges that the precedent established by the Prophet (peace be upon him) and the first two Caliphs be followed, rather than depending on individual citizens to carry out their obligations. A brief discussion is made on the importance of assessing Zakah on wages. The author then lays down the features of an administrative set-up for the collection and distribution of Zakah. This set-up, the author believes is functional, simple and can be set up with relative ease. It will minimize bureaucratic red tape and will be relatively cheap to run, while allowing the local communities the control over the distribution of Zakah. Finally, the author presents simulated results of the distributive effects of Zakah for two economies - one very poor, the other relatively rich. The purpose of the simulation was to show how to ex- tract data on income distribution from published macro-data on GDP and occupational distribution, and then how to analyse the data to show the redistributive effects of Zakah on particular economies. The paper concludes that a simulation model can be applied by the responsible planners and policy makers who are entrusted with the task of assessing the distributive effects of Zakah on their countries.
