Poverty remains an inherent reality in the lives of Indonesian people, largely due
to the prolonged economic downturn faced by the nation. This issue is prevalent
in developing countries, including Indonesia, affecting a significant portion of its
population. To address this challenge, Allah Almighty has established zakat, infak, and
alms, encouraging financially capable Muslims to show compassion for the poor and
fostering a harmonious relationship between the two. The purpose of this study is to
explore the concept of safe zakat management, ensuring compliance with prevailing
laws and regulations in Indonesia. The article adopts the normative juridical method
with a normative sociological approach, relying on secondary data sources and
employing analytical descriptive methods for analysis. To tackle poverty effectively,
cooperation with both government and private institutions, known for their proficient
financial management, is crucial. This collaboration serves as an effort to overcome
these social problems. In managing zakat, there are specific rules that govern both
positive law and Islamic law. It is essential for this management to align with applicable
regulations and the provisions of Islamic law. Through such efforts, the public can gain
a comprehensive understanding of how to manage zakat safely and in accordance with
the relevant regulations, ensuring it is halal (permissible) in line with Islamic principles.
