On the other hand, zakat is a term used to describe taking something specific from an asset from specific individuals and to be given to specific individuals, including al-gharimin (al-asnāf). Most countries worldwide, including Malaysia, affected by the COVID-19 pandemic since the end of 2019. Everyday life, public safety and security, education, and business, particularly al-Gharim, have been affected, as many institutions and the employment sectors are ordered to stop their activities temporarily. Therefore, this paper seeks to study, from Islamic perspectives, the concept of zakat for al-gharimin and temporary waqf and to analyse the function of zakat and temporary waqf as financial assistance to algharimin in the face of this pandemic. A qualitative methodology was employed to analyse the data through inductive, deductive, content analysis and hermeneutic analysis methods. Semi-structured interviews with the chosen respondents for field research were conducted in this study. The result shows that the integration between zakat and temporary waqf, particularly in financial matters, can help the al-gharimin face COVID-19.entemporary waqf,zakat,al-gharimin,COVID-19, .MalaysiaArticle3662222 (Special Edition)
