Zakat fitrah is a zakat that Muslims are obliged to perform during the month of Ramadan ahead of Eid al-Fitr to purify themselves and help the poor.

According to a Populix survey, the majority or 55% of respondents in Indonesia entrust their zakat to religious figures or mosques.

Then, 17% channel zakat through non-governmental organizations (NGOs) or charity organizations.

There are also those who entrust it to Islamic banks (12%), government zakat programs (7%), digital donation apps or crowdfunding (6%), and corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs (2%).

Only 1% stated that they do not trust these institutions.

"In terms of zakat donations, trust still centers on religious and community institutions," Populix wrote on its official Instagram account on Friday (13/3/2026).

Populix also found that the transparency of zakat fund usage is the decisive factor for 35% of respondents to donate.

Respondents also consider the credibility and reputation of the institution (29%), the ease of the donation process (15%), and guidance or recommendations from religious figures (10%).

This Populix survey involved 2,385 respondents spread across Indonesia. The survey was conducted online from March 5-8, 2026.
