This study discusses the role of Baitul Mal in the distribution of welfare from the perspective of Islamic macroeconomics. Baitul Mal is an Islamic bank that functions to manage and distribute public funds such as zakat, infaq, sadaqah, waqf, and other state revenues for the benefit of society. In the context of Islamic macroeconomics, Baitul Mal plays an important role in creating economic justice, reducing poverty, and improving social welfare through equitable wealth distribution. The purpose of this study is to analyze the functions, roles, and contributions of Baitul Mal in supporting community welfare based on Islamic economic principles. This research uses a qualitative approach with a library research method by examining various literature sources, including books, scientific journals, and relevant previous studies. The results of the study indicate that Baitul Mal has a strategic role in maintaining economic stability, empowering the poor, reducing social inequality, and supporting sustainable economic development. Furthermore, the implementation of welfare distribution through Baitul Mal reflects the values of justice, balance, and social responsibility emphasized in Islamic economics. Therefore, strengthening the management and governance of Baitul Mal is essential to optimize its contribution to public welfare in modern society.References
