description |
Haddul kifayah can be referred to as a tool applied by administrators
of zakat in determining if a particular household is considered as
either asnaf faqr or asnaf miskin and subsequently in determining the
amount of zakat assistance to be provided to the household. There
are various components that form the haddul kifayah among them is
the provision of shelter or housing for the household. Zakat
administrators employ their own standards in determining the
appropriateness and adequacy of the components. This paper reports
on a study that focuses on the shelter or housing component of the
haddul kifayah. The objectives of the study are to (i) identify the subcomponents forming the shelter or housing component of the
haddul-kifayah and their corresponding monetary allocations as
applied by selected zakat administrator in Malaysia; (ii) assess
whether the identified sub-components and their corresponding
monetary allocation are appropriate and adequate in meeting the
current shelter or housing needs of the asnaf faqr or asnaf miskin
respectively. The study involved reviewing related literature and the
carrying out of a convenient sample survey among households that
reside in houses deemed appropriate for the provision of shelter or
housing for asnaf faqr or asnaf miskin. The objective of the survey
is to determine the appropriateness of the houses, utilities and
facilities thereto and the associated monthly costs. The outcome from
the survey was then contrasted with the outcome from the literature
review. Key findings from the study suggest that the sub-components
and their corresponding monetary allocation forming the shelter or housing component of the haddul kifayah as currently being applied
by the selected zakat administrators are neither appropriate nor
adequate in meeting the current needs of the asnaf faqr or asnaf
miskin respectively. The paper concludes with a recommendation
that zakat administrators should consider revising the standards used
in determining the appropriateness and adequacy of the subcomponents forming the shelter or housing component of the
haddul-kifayah. To this end a list of the sub-components and their
corresponding monetary allocations that are deemed to be more
reflective of the current needs of the asnaf faqr or asnaf miskin
respectively are provided for consideration by zakat authorities in
Malaysia. |
