摘要：This study will be discussing about the distributions of zakat to the asnaf based on the definition used by zakat institutions in Malaysia. The purpose of this study is to identify the interpretation used during the past and now. This is because asnaf al-Riqab is one of asnaf with various definitions for each states in Malaysia. In fact, this asnaf was excluded as one of the asnaf in zakat distributions by several states. This study consists of two objectives. Firstly, to explain the definition of al-Riqab used by zakat institutions in Malaysia. Secondly, to analyze the comparison of asnaf’s definitions used between previous ulama’ and Malaysian zakat institutions. The data for this study were collected from documents and analyzed by using content analysis method. The result showed that the interpretation of asnaf al-Riqab applied in zakat institutions were different. . Some maintained the classical definition, resulting in the failure to distribute the zakat due to the absent of al-Riqab these days. . Meanwhile a few were broadly defined. The contemporary way of definition can expand the interpretation of al-Riqab and ensure the role of a more effective zakat institution.
