Etika Ekonomi Islam Dalam Pengelolaan Dana Zakat Oleh Mahasiswa Yang Menjadi Relawan Lembaga Amil Zakat

Abstrak

This study analyzes the relationship between the understanding of Islamic economic ethics of volunteer students and its application in the management of zakat funds. With descriptive and inferential quantitative methods, data was collected through questionnaires on volunteer students of amil zakat institutions. The results showed that the understanding of Islamic economic ethics among volunteer students was good on average (4.12/5), but the implementation was slightly lower (3.96/5). There are indicators that need to be improved, such as fiqh related to amil status and open reporting. There was a strong correlation between comprehension and ethical application (0.693, p < 0.01), indicating that better understanding contributes to better implementation. Understanding of ethics contributed significantly (48.1%) to the variation in implementation, increasing to 59.1% by including organizational experience and educational background. Strengthening the capacity of volunteers through training, organizational experience, and Islamic education is very important for the application of ethics in zakat management. The volunteer training curriculum should include technical, ethical, and fiqh aspects of zakat in an applicative manner. Amil zakat institutions need to improve digital reporting, transparency, and performance evaluation based on Islamic values. Collaboration between universities and zakat institutions is recommended to create a sustainable volunteer development ecosystem, integrate sharia maqasid, and strengthen institutions for fair, transparent, and impactful zakat management.
