ANALYSIS OF MUALLAF FATWA IN SELANGOR

Abstract

Asnaf muallaf is one of the groups who are entitled to receive zakat in Islam. Muallaf is a special group who has been chosen by Allah to choose and know Islam in life. In this regard, it is the responsibility of all Muslims to take care of the welfare and guide the converts. There are differences in the interpretation of the definition of muallaf that can affect the management of zakat distribution. Thus, the objective of this study is to identify the definition of muallaf, had muallaf (limit period) and aid scheme for muallaf implemented in the state of Selangor. This qualitative study was conducted using data collection and data analysis methods. Data collection methods were done through library research. The data obtained were analyzed based on inductive, deductive and comparative methods to obtain results. The findings of this study are expected to provide a clearer picture of the interpretation of reverts as well as trigger the best management model of converts based on the results of fatwas and laws that have been decided.
