The National Zakat Agency (Baznas) of West Java has issued a circular\nregarding fitrah zakat amounts across districts and municipalities. The\nzakat measure per person is 2.5 kilogrammes or 3.5 litres of staple\ngoods, specifically rice. Its monetary value varies across different\nregions.<\/p>\n
According to Nana Sudiana, Deputy Chairman IV of Baznas West Java,\nthe agency itself has set fitrah zakat at Rp 40,000 per person. This\namount resulted from consultation between Baznas West Java with the\nMinistry of Religious Affairs and the Indonesian Ulama Council.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe amount is relatively the same as last year; we base our\nbenchmark on the average price of rice in West Java,\u201d he said on Monday,\n2 March 2026.<\/p>\n
In circular number 085\/BAZNAS-JABAR\/II\/2026, a list of fitrah zakat\namounts across 27 municipalities and districts in West Java is listed.\nThe zakat amounts vary, although some regions have identical figures.\nAccording to Nana, the figures have been established in Baznas decision\nletters from each region following deliberations with city and district\ngovernments, regional Islamic councils, and the regional Ministry of\nReligious Affairs, to examine local food prices. \u201cThen a decision is\nmade regarding the monetary equivalent,\u201d said Nana.<\/p>\n
In the list, three regions have relatively high fitrah zakat figures:\nBogor District, Bekasi City, and Cianjur, at Rp 50,000. Specifically for\nCianjur, it is divided into two options: fitrah zakat equivalent to\nregular rice at Rp 37,000 or pandanwangi rice at Rp 50,000. \u201cIn each\ncity and district, the amounts follow the rice prices in their\nrespective areas,\u201d said Nana.<\/p>\n
In Bandung District, fitrah zakat is set at Rp 37,500; West Bandung\nDistrict at Rp 40,500; Bekasi District at Rp 45,500; Ciamis District at\nRp 37,500; Cirebon District at Rp 39,000. Meanwhile, Garut District is\nset at Rp 40,500; Indramayu District at Rp 37,500; Karawang District at\nRp 42,000; Kuningan District at Rp 35,000; Majalengka District at Rp\n40,000; and Pangandaran at Rp 32,500.<\/p>\n
Fitrah zakat amounts in Purwakarta is set at Rp 45,000; Subang\nDistrict at Rp 37,000; Sukabumi District at Rp 35,000; Sumedang District\nat Rp 40,000; and Tasikmalaya District at Rp 37,000. Meanwhile, in\nBandung City it is Rp 42,500; Banjar City at Rp 32,500; Bogor City at Rp\n45,000; Cimahi City at Rp 40,000; Cirebon City, Depok City, and Sukabumi\nCity all at Rp 45,000; and Tasikmalaya City at Rp 37,500.<\/p>\n
In determining the fitrah zakat value, according to Nana, the\ndetermination follows the Indonesian Ulama Council\u2019s guidance based on\nthe best quality rice used in daily community life. \u201cNot taking premium\nrice prices or the lowest, but the rice most commonly used by the\ngeneral population,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Nana stated that fitrah zakat payments are intended for Muslim\nfamilies who, based on their financial capacity, still have food and\ndrink reserves to support their families. Fitrah zakat must be paid\nbefore Eid al-Fitr. Those who do not meet such conditions or have tight\nliving circumstances can be classified as fitrah zakat recipients.<\/p>\n
Distribution of fitrah zakat to those entitled can be in the form of\nrice or its monetary equivalent. Considering economic conditions not\nsignificantly different from last year, according to Nana, the estimate\nfor collected fitrah zakat this year is slightly higher. \u201cThere has been\nan increase in employment terminations this year, many businesses have\nnot been particularly successful, coupled with the global situation\nwhich also presents many issues; it is likely that the number of zakat\nrecipients this year will increase significantly compared to the\nprevious year.\u201d<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/three-districts-with-highest-fitrah-zakat-amounts-in-west-java-1772464111", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
