Sufficiency does not merely encompass basic needs like food and drink; it extends to everything that enables individuals and their families to lead a dignified life. One of the best means of distributing wealth and reaching the level of sufficiency is through zakat.mZakat institutions in the Arab and Islamic world strive to achieve sufficiency for those who meet the criteria of eligibility for zakat, such as orphans, widows, prisoners, and financially challenged students unable to continue their education due to inability to pay their fees. This is done after careful investigation and examination of their situations. These institutions also endeavor to provide job opportunities for them, encouraging them to meet their needs. This research sheds light on this issue from multiple perspectives, aiming to answer questions such as: What is the concept of sufficiency? Should zakat institutions consider the sufficiency level in the eight categories? What is the criterion for sufficiency? Who are the eligible recipients to achieve this level? What is the impact of changing the sufficiency level on zakat eligibility? The research problem lies in determining the criterion for sufficiency and examining its variation with changes in time and place, as well as elucidating its impact on zakat distribution. The research adopts a descriptive-analytical approach based on Islamic jurisprudence, relying on specialized references that combine both ancient and contemporary juristic perspectives. The key findings of the research indicate that anyone who meets the criteria of need is considered to have not reached the level of sufficiency and thus qualifies for zakat. The research recommends the establishment of Sharia committees in zakat institutions to investigate and verify the non-achievement of the sufficiency level by zakat recipients.

Section 122 of the Islamic Family Law Enactment (State of Kedah Darul Aman) 2008, clearly provides the jurisdiction of Court in division of jointly acquired property. Disputes arose between Muslim’s scholars on the status of property of a working wife whether it can be regarded as a private property or jointly acquired property. Nowadays, it seems that the domestic contributions for a living are attributed to the property of the working wife. These contributions include the purchase of house, car, and expenses in upbringing the children. Therefore, the objective of this study is to identify the classification of property of the working wives and the condition of jointly acquired property that can be claimed bythe husband from Islamic perspective and subsequently analyse the custom recognition on it. This study is a qualitative study in which data is collected from Islamic law books and legal sources. Data analysis completed by applying content analysis methods through a descriptive approach. The findings indicated that the custom (“urf) recognized the classification of property of a wife to be accepted as jointly acquired property.

Sebagai contoh, seksyen 122, Enakmen Undang-Undang Keluarga Islam (Negeri Kedah Darul Aman) 2008, jelas memperuntukkan berkenaan bidangkuasa Mahkamah dalam memerintah pembahagian harta sepencarian. Terdapat khilaf dalam kalangan para fuqaha’ berkaitan harta milik isteri berpekerjaan sepanjang perkahwinan dari aspek statusnya sebagai harta persendirian atau harta sepencarian. Namun, timbul masalah apabila terdapat situasi di mana sebahagian besar sumbangan rumahtangga adalah berpunca daripada harta isteri. Sumbangan ini dapat dilihat bermula daripada pembelian rumah, kereta, kos asuhan anak-anak yang menjadi sebahagian daripada tanggungan isteri. Justeru itu, objektif kajian ini adalah untuk mengenalpasti pengklasifikasian harta isteri berpekerjaan sebagai harta sepencarian yang berhak dituntut oleh suami dari perspektif syarak, dan seterusnya menganalisis pengiktifaran ‘Urf ke atasnya. Kajian ini adalah kajian kualitatif di mana data kajian dikumpul melalui kajian kepustakaan daripada kitab-kitab fiqh islami dan sumber undang-undang. Sementara itu, analisis data dilakukan menggunakan kaedah analisis kandungan melalui pendekatan deskriptif. Hasil kajian membuktikan bahawa ‘Urf mengiktiraf pengklasifikasian harta isteri berpekerjaan sebagai harta sepencarian. Walau bagaimanapun, bagi isteri yang berkerjaya dan telah menanggung segala keperluan tambahan, harta mereka diklasifikasikan sebagai harta yang tidak boleh dituntut oleh suami dalam harta sepencarian. Kajian ini dapat memberi sumbangan kepada pihak-pihak yang terlibat dalam tuntutan harta sepencarian seperti penggubal undang-undang dan institusi-institusi mahkamah untuk menilai pengklasifikasian harta isteri berpekerjaan sebagai harta sepencarian yang boleh dituntut oleh suami.
