Abstract
Zakat (alms-giving) is a religious obligatory for Moslem. However, the existence of zakat is still debatable. Some scholars interpret the obligatory of corporate zakat due to zakat for business income. By applying socio legal research method, this research found that less companies including Islamic financial institution or state enterprises allocate the corporate zakat fund. They concentrate more in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) than company zakat. The samplings are the management bodies of zakat in Surabaya. They collect mostly individual zakat and hardly ever receive the corporate zakat. On the other hand, they often conduct the collaborating program with the company to distribute CSR funds. Therefore, it appears the idea to synergize the concept of corporate zakat and the CSR to avoid double burdens. The payment of zakat reduces the expense of CSR. Corporate zakat funds are distributed for needy and the rest can be used for environmental repairing.
