Leadership criteria for Baznas

Selection process for Tasikmalaya Baznas leadership; Viman wants strategic expert

TAWANG, RADSIK – Mayor of Tasikmalaya Viman Alfarizi Ramadhan stressed that the selection of prospective Baznas leaders must undergo a professional feasibility test. Looking ahead, Baznas is expected to devise strategies to boost larger ummah fund potentials.

According to Viman, the process of gathering candidates for Baznas leadership must involve individuals with integrity and competence in zakat matters. Organizational management capacity, financial expertise, and the ability to map community economic potential should be key considerations during selection.

In his view, BAZNAS administrators do not all have to come from a strong religious background. This is because the institution also requires managerial and planning skills to ensure umat funds are managed optimally.

Viman likened BAZNAS to a regional agency that handles both financial management and development planning. “If I compare it within the SKPD or City Government, BAZNAS is akin to BPKD and Bappeda. Thus, it must be able to identify potential, benefits, and gains from funds collected from mandatory zakat payers,” he said after the Heroes’ Day commemoration at the Tasikmalaya Heroes’ Cemetery, Tuesday (10/11/2026).

Viman continued that BAZNAS must assume a strategic role in supporting poverty alleviation programs. Such efforts cannot be done partially or temporarily, but must be structured and sustainable.

“If we want to reduce poverty, we need a structured approach, not a sentimental or short‑term one. BAZNAS must be present with impactful programs,” he said. According to him, BAZNAS programs should be designed to assist the poor step by step—starting from meeting basic necessities, clothing, up to housing needs. This way, the distribution of zakat, alms, and charity will not only be consumptive aid but also promote an improvement in the recipients’ quality of life.

In addition to strengthening social programs, Viman also encourages BAZNAS to be more independent in exploring the potential of zakat, alms, and charity (ZIS) in Tasikmalaya. This is because the potential for collecting umat funds is considered quite large.

He assessed that BAZNAS still needs to enhance its reach and role so it can compete and cooperate with other Islamic amil zakat institutions managed by community organizations, such as Lazisnu and Lazismu. “Thus, do not just be the hand that gives and receives, but also actively participate in government programs, such as during disasters and the like,” he said.
