Abstract

This study investigates whether zakat has contributed to poverty reduction in four selected regencies in Aceh Province (Banda Aceh, Langsa, Aceh Besar, and Bireuen). This study uses the realization of zakat funds distribution to determine which regencies. The time series technique is used to test the hypothesis of poverty reduction driven by the distribution of zakat funds in these regencies. The results show that the distribution of zakat funds from three regencies, Banda Aceh, Aceh Besar, and Langsa, can reduce poverty. However, Bireuen does not show a significant contribution. The empirical findings of this study provide important policy implications for local government.
