| description | Re-categorizing recipients of zakat under riqab is essential to achieve sustainable
development goals worldwide. Riqab or slavery is one of the standard categories of zakat
expenditure sanctioned by Islam. Due to dynamic changes in the socio-economic and
demographic, the existing categories of recipients of zakat under riqab become difficult if not
impossible to identify people who may be entitled to zakat under riqab category. The existing
categorization is based on traditional Fiqh literature may start as initial stage for recategorization. This study examined the views of selected Muslim respondents on the recategorization of zakat recipients under riqab category. By using nine statements with a
Likert-like scale, and one open-ended question, the study was able to obtain an acceptable
reliability (Cronbach reliability of 0.704). Data analysis using t-test shows that male and
female respondents (n=70) did not differ significantly in their views, except for “freeing a
prisoner of war” (p-value .002). The rating by the respondents on eligible riqab recipients
ranked “freeing a person from an oppressive ruler” (4.09/5.00), and “freeing a prisoner of
war” (4,03/5.00) among the top. The re-categorization of riqab recipients has a significant
contribution of the research of zakat distribution which needs further deliberation of experts. |
