The National Zakat Agency (BAZNAS) is an official body and the only one formed by the government based on Presidential Decree No. 8 of 2001 which has the task and function of collecting and distributing zakat, infaq and alms (ZIS) at the national level. The issuance of Law Number 23 of 2011 concerning Zakat Management further strengthens the role of BAZNAS as an institution that is authorized to manage zakat nationally. In this law, BAZNAS is stated as a non-structural government institution that is independent and accountable to the President through the Minister of Religion.
Thus, BAZNAS together with the Government is responsible for overseeing the management of zakat which is based on: Islamic law, trust, benefit, justice, legal certainty, integration and accountability.
