Implementasi Pendistribusian Zakat Produktif untuk Usaha Mikro Mustahik di Era Pandemi Covid-19

  Poverty and unemployment are problems that Indonesia is still facing today. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the national economy, including the MSME sector. Productive zakat distributed to MSMEs has the potential to help develop and form MSMEs mustahik in the era of the covid 19 pandemic. The implementation of zakat is important to see the potential of zakat in an effort to help mustahik to be more empowered to face the challenges of the times. This study aims to find out how to implement the distribution of productive zakat for mustahiq micro-enterprises during the pandemic, and to find out the obstacles faced by the Bogor City Baznas when distributing productive zakat during the pandemic. This research is a qualitative research with a qualitative descriptive approach. The data collection technique used is the interview and documentation method. Interviews were conducted with the Baznas of Bogor City as the authorized party in the distribution of zakat. The results showed that the Bogor City Baznas distributed productive zakat in the form of business capital. The productive zakat is distributed to individual and group mustahik. The Bogor Berkah program is included in the productive zakat based on taklim majlis. The maximum limit for assistance provided is Rp. 2,000,000. Recipients of productive zakat are also required to give infaq every day from the results of their efforts. Constraints faced by the Bogor City Baznas at the beginning of the pandemic were the reduced number of muzakki who distributed their zakat, limited space for monitoring, and efforts to develop MSMEs that were difficult to carry out.
