Abstract
The paper aims to look at the impact of zakat on mustahik receiving zakat through empowerment programs which do not directly provide cash as an additional income to them. The impact is measured by General Poverty Index and BAZNAS Welfare Index using four measurement standards, namely poverty line, had kifayah, rice nishab and gold nishab. By taking 243 households as sample, the results show that zakat distribution through empowerment programs has a good impact on the welfare of mustahik.
