Example text
In Indonesia a law enacted in 1999 charged the government with regulating zakat, so that it is no longer a private affair of individual Muslims (Lubis 2004, p. 102). In countries such as Morocco and Oman zakat contributions are completely left to the individual’s conscience and Jordan is somewhere in between. There is a zakat directorate under the Ministry of Religious Affairs, but local zakat committees are also allowed to raise and distribute charitable funds (Benthall 1999, p. 29). In Kuwait and Bangladesh the state administers zakat funds, but contributions are voluntary.

Machinery, land, fixtures and fittings, furniture, buildings and so on are exempt from zakat, as only property intended for trade is included, and one is allowed to subtract these from the value of the shares. There is a fierce discussion on what to include in the range of assets subject to zakat. Many assets did not yet exist in the early days of Islam and it is a moot question whether they should be taxed or not. An additional complication is that even in the days of the rightly-guided Caliphs not all assets were taxed.
