دور الزكاة في التخفيف من أعباء الميزا نية العامة للدولة

Abstract

The study aimed to determine the role of Zakat in alleviating the burden of the general budget for both Sudan and Algeria (2010-2019). This was done through its contribution in financing a portion of the general burdens, specifically the social burdens for the benefit of the deserving poor and deprived categories of society. The study utilized a descriptive-analytical approach as a methodology. The study found that the Zakat dministration in Sudan is a pioneering institution in social work characterized by its obligatory nature in collecting Zakat funds. This has effectively contributed to alleviating the burden on the general state budget, averaging 3.282% for the period (2010-2019). On the other hand, the Algerian Zakat Fund is a nascent experience that hasn't moved beyond individual practice to institutional practice yet. This is evident through its minimal and negligible contribution to alleviating the general burden on the state, estimated at 0.013% .
