PENETAPAN DAN IMPLEMENTASI PRINSIP FIKIH DALAM TATA KELOLA LEMBAGA AMIL ZAKAT DI INDONESIA
Amil Zakat Institutions (LAZ) play a crucial role in distributing zakat accurately and in accordance with Islamic law. This study examines the process of establishing and implementing fiqh principles in the governance of LAZ in Indonesia, emphasizing the integration of sharia values in both institutional and operational aspects. This research adopts a normative-empirical approach by analyzing legal documents, religious fatwas, and field practices. The analysis reveals that the implementation of fiqh principle such as intention (niyyah), justice (‘adl), public interest (maslahah), and trustworthiness (amanah has been undertaken by most LAZs, though variations in standard application persist. The main challenges include limited understanding of practical fiqh among administrators, regulatory inconsistencies, and weak sharia oversight. Therefore, strengthening fiqh based governance systems is necessary through intensive training, sharia certification, and stronger collaboration among LAZ, the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI), and the government.
