Abstract

Philanthropic institutions including Islamic philanthropy, are now proliferating in Indonesia. This cannot be separated from Amil's role in managing operational funds in zakat, infaq, and sadaqah instruments. This includes the intentional misuse of funds by the ACT Foundation's philanthropic organization for the institution's operational funds. This study aims to review how fiqh law regulates amil rights that can be used for operational funds. This research was conducted using a descriptive qualitative approach to the literature review. Data was collected through by several sources such as scientific journals, books, news articles, legislation documents and others, etcg at the perspectives of the four madhhabs regarding amil zakat, they have in common that amil zakat is entitled to get a share of zakat and can be used for operational funds of it. There is a continuity between the violations committed by the ACT Foundation and the portion of amil rights in Islamic philanthropic institutions. This also shows the weakness of regulations in general philanthropy, which is different from the strict rules of Islamic philanthropy institutions in Indonesia. For further research recommendations, whether philanthropy regulations need uniformity or strict regulations to be made to prevent similar violations
