Abstract
In recent years, the expense of medical care and treatments has been rising annually, ultimately placing a strain on the recipient (asnaf). Among the dependable sources of this funding is zakat. The distribution of zakat to aid with medical expenses has existed for a long time, although no specific details are available. A medical zakat fund is provided to patients who cannot pay medical bills. This study evaluated the required qualities of asnaf to receive medical zakat assistance, the implementation of medical zakat management in Lembaga Zakat Selangor (LZS), and the effectiveness of zakat distribution to certain asnaf. This study employed qualitative approaches to interview asnaf al-gharimin beneficiaries at Hospital Canselor Tuanku Muhriz UKM (HCTM) to acquire information on medical financial help. The results indicate that medical zakat aids at HCTM-LZS provided the finest service, although there is a need for improvement in the management and distribution of medical financing. Consequently, establishing a pharmacy panel could promote the efficiency of medical care distribution and enhance public faith in the zakat institution.
