PENGEMBANGAN MODEL PENDAMPINGAN ZAKAT PRODUKTIF BERBASIS KELOMPOK TERNAK KAMBING UNTUK MENINGKATKAN KEMANDIRIAN MUSTAHIK DI DESA BLENDIS

Abstract

This study examines assistance in a productive zakat program based on a goat farming group in Blendis Village. The study aims to identify the implementation conditions of the program and formulate an assistance model to support the independence of mustahik. This research uses a qualitative method with a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach. Data were collected through literature studies, scientific journals and articles, monitoring and evaluation (M&E) documents, field observations, and participatory activities. The results show that 24 goats remained from the initial 67 goats distributed to 10 mustahik at the time of monitoring. Some goats died, while others were sold to meet feed and maintenance costs. The involvement of group members also changed, resulting in the management of the remaining goats being mainly carried out by active members. The findings indicate that assistance needs to be strengthened through technical livestock assistance, group strengthening, business and productive asset management, capacity building for mustahik, and regular monitoring and evaluation. Continuous assistance is expected to help mustahik manage productive zakat assets more effectively and support the gradual improvement of their independence.
