paddy when it has fullfill the specific conditions. The study analyzes

administrative law at that time and the Kedah Zakat Enactment which
was in force before independence in 1955. The study also analyzed the

State Zakat Board Enactment 2015 and rulings (fatwa) during the
Fatwa Committee of Kedah Darul Aman, the factors that led to decline
