Abstract
This paper is an attempt to explore as to what extent the present system
of Zakat as a Social Safety Net is practiced in Pakistan and to assess its
potential to improve the economic condition of Zakat Recipients/
Mustaheqeen. This paper revolves around the problems faced by Zakat
Recipients in collection of Zakat Assistance from Local Zakat
Committee. For this reason the Zakat Recipients of Latif Abad in
Peshawar were selected and a total of 80 respondents were selected for
the study and were interviewed. The study reveals that Zakat as a
Social Safety Net is not working effectively to improve the economic
condition of Mustaheqeen and they are facing so many problems in
receiving Zakat assistance.
