Poverty has been the
leading social and economic problem of societies both in the past and
today for the decades. This study examines the status of poverty in the
Turkish economy and the role of zakat in poverty reduction. The zakat potential
is analyzed in three methods and it is concluded that poverty in Turkey could
be completely resolved via a potential zakat fund. It is suggested that to
reduce poverty in Turkey, zakat should be enforced by favor of the state and it
should be based on institutional foundations.
