Keywords:
Zakat, Fiscal Policy, Islamic MicroeconomicsAbstract
Zakat is one of the instruments of Islamic economics that has a strategic role in supporting fiscal policy and creating economic balance in society. This study aims to analyze the role of zakat as a fiscal policy instrument from the perspective of Islamic macroeconomics, particularly in efforts to reduce poverty, improve income distribution, and maintain economic stability. The research method used is library research with a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were obtained from various sources such as the Qur’an, hadith, books, scientific journals, and previous studies related to zakat and Islamic macroeconomics. The results of the study indicate that zakat not only functions as a form of spiritual worship but also possesses strong social and economic dimensions. In Islamic macroeconomics, zakat can serve as an effective instrument for income redistribution, encouraging increased purchasing power, reducing social inequality, and assisting the government in addressing economic problems such as poverty and unemployment. In addition, optimal and professional zakat management can strengthen national economic stability through the equitable improvement of public welfare. Thus, zakat has an important contribution in supporting the creation of a fair, sustainable economic system oriented toward public welfare in accordance with sharia principles.References
