| Summary: | Zakat through tax rebate has emerged as an important mechanism in the administration of zakat in our time. In the Malaysian context, legislative ijtihad has led to the creation of Salary Deduction Scheme. This matter raises a lot of juridical questions about the de jure legislative premises of such a mechanism.

This matter needs to be studied further if we desire to implement Islamic commands in contemporary setting. |
