Abstract
This article reviews the implementation process of Islamic policies for
income transfer and the redistribution of wealth i.e. Zakat, Ushr and Baitul-Maal. This follows two broad questions. First, the output issue: what has
Zakat and Ushr administration delivered in terms of its structure? Second,
the outcome issue: to what extent have Zakat and Bait-ul-Maal reduced
income inequity and alleviated poverty? It particularly delineates problems
in implementation. This also focuses on the ‘politics of Zakat’ by raising
issues of power, authority and patron-client relationships.
