"Bayt al-Māl and the Distribution of Zakāt Mahmood Namazi Introduction The Bayt al-Māl (literally meaning the House for Money, is used as an equivalent for the Treasury House where public fund is kept) is an Islamic concept built upon three main factors: wealth, trust and socio-economic justice.
1 Accordingly, the Bayt al-Māl acts as a treasury complemented with the task of planning and distributing society's wealth in the whole socio-economic and political set-up of the nation.
2 In this paper I intend to briefly consider the philosophy and sources of wealth in the Bayt al-Māl and then examine zakāt as its main part, elaborating on coverage, rates and the distribution of zakāt.
Although the center piece of Islamic Public Finance is zakāt, its coverage, rates, beneficiaries and administration have been a controversial problem among Muslim scholars from different schools of Islam.
This would be consistent with the multiple goals of the Islamic economic system, spending on all the beneficiaries enumerated in the Qur'an by maintaining full employment and enabling everybody to acquire earned income and wealth in a manner that preserves human dignity.
