Abstrak

This study aims to explore the implementation of productive zakat by BAZNAS Bulukumba Regency and its impact on the economic empowerment of mustahiq. A descriptive qualitative approach was used through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. The research findings reveal three main themes in the implementation of productive zakat: the mechanisms for utilizing zakat, the impact on beneficiaries, and the supporting and hindering factors for the sustainability of the program. BAZNAS Bulukumba implements a structured mechanism through beneficiary selection, entrepreneurship training, and business mentoring. This program has a positive impact on increasing income, entrepreneurial capacity, and the sustainability of mustahiq businesses. However, the success of the program is also influenced by internal factors such as the financial literacy of mustahiq, as well as external factors such as local government support and funding limitations. These findings indicate the importance of integrating zakat with sustainable empowerment programs, a robust evaluation system, and multi-stakeholder involvement to optimize the social function of zakat. The research findings contribute to the development of a community-based productive zakat model and emphasize the importance of a holistic approach in zakat management.
