Zakat is one of the five pillars of Islam; it is compulsory for all the well‐off Muslims and is given to the needy. This study examines Zakat's impact on poverty in Tunisia. Using simulated data of individuals from Tunisian household surveys in 2010 and 2015, we measure the effect of Zakat to reduce poverty. This study uses the Fuzzy Approach to conclude that Zakat does reduce poverty. The simulation results display a significant decrease in the poverty index of Tunisia's seven regions.

扎卡特(Zakat)减轻贫困吗?来自突尼斯的证据,采用模糊方法

扎卡特(Zakat)是伊斯兰教的五大支柱之一。对所有小康的穆斯林都是强制性的,并给予有需要的人。这项研究考察了扎卡特对突尼斯贫困的影响。使用2010年和2015年突尼斯家庭调查的个人模拟数据,我们评估了Zakat减轻贫困的效果。本研究使用模糊方法得出的结论是Zakat确实减少了贫困。模拟结果显示突尼斯七个地区的贫困指数显着下降。
