Abstract

Zakat is the principle basis for upholding the social structure of Islam obligatory almsgiving. With the implementation of zakat institutions correctly and adequately, it is expected that the difficulties and suffering of the poor can be reduced. The role of the government as a regulator in managing zakat in a country is essential for macroeconomic policy. Islam has applied both centralized and decentralized approaches in the past. Nevertheless, each country has different policies in its implementation, including Indonesia and Malaysia. This research uses the descriptive-comparative method with a qualitative approach. This study uses library research methods; its resources are taken from secondary sources in the form of books, journals, and paper related to the obligation to pay zakat for people who misuse money from the collection of zakat. In Indonesia, each region follows a centralized rule, is not allowed to make its own rules. Following the political structure in Malaysia, zakat is managed by each country. Each country has full rights and obligations in managing zakat
