Abstract

Considering the importance of the Zakat in Islam and emphasis on Zakat payment in
Quran and divine tradition, in this paper the most important factors affecting the
people partnership in Zakat payment are analyzed. In the first stage, the most
important factors are gathered using Delphi approach in four rounds. These are:
humanism, the religiosity, self-satisfaction, welfare and organization. Then, these
factors and their indices have been tested in the Hamedan province between the
Zakat payers. In this stage, the effectiveness of each factor has been tested using TTEST.
Humanism, the religiosity and organization factors are those that have been
considered effective and the self-satisfaction and welfare have not been considered
as effective ones. After that, the intensity of the factors with each other has been
tested using the Pierson correlation coefficient. Finally, using the Fridman test, the
importance of any of the factors has been analyzed.
