Ijtima Ulama Member of the 2024 Fatwa Commission VIII from North Kalimantan, Ahmad Imanuddin, said that content creators from social media platforms are one of the discussions that allows zakat to be withdrawn by 2.5 percent of income.

"The income of a content creator with a large audience of 'viewers' and income, became a discussion at the Ijtima Ulama VIII meeting," said he who was included in Commission B Ijtima Ulama in the development of modern fiqih-fiqih in Sungailiat, Bangka Belitung, quoted by ANTARA, Thursday, May 30.

In the era of modern digitalization that continues to develop in the country, he said, content creators grow and develop very large.

"It's just that those who are discussing digital zakat still need to study whether content creators are included in the profession or not," he said.

According to him, with the creativity of content creators and the amount of income generated, it will certainly have a big impact on the welfare of the people if they can get 2.5 percent zakat.

Meanwhile, Ijtima Ulama participants from the Rabithah Alawiyayah Jakarta organization, Fahmi Assegaf, Ijtima Ulama Fatwa Commission VIII 2024, which was attended by 650 participants from various regions in Indonesia, are proof of the success of synergy and integration between MUI and the local government and the community.

"This is one point or a lesson from our lessons in Rabithah Alawiyayah, although indeed in the course of the commission session there are several notes but do not reduce the perfect value of Ijtima Ulama activities," he explained.

One of the notes in the Ijtima trial, he said, was how to respond to people who did not have to be answered at that time, if indeed the community's problems needed to be discussed more deeply.

"Regarding fatwas, in answering all problems, the community needs an in-depth study, do not let us rashly provide solutions to the community, because it is necessary to know that the fatwa issued by MUI will serve as a guide or guide for the community," said Fahmi Assegaf.

Touching on enlivening or prospering the mosque, he said a person's faith is needed, and faith is a guidance that must be picked up.

He advised Muslims to pray in any mosque, and there is no need to be in a mosque close to home. For example, it doesn't have to be people who live close to the Prophet's Mosque having to pray at the mosque, and vice versa.

"Indonesian Muslims who pray in mosques are quite large compared to various mosques in other countries," he said.

Ijtima Ulama Fatwa Commission throughout Indonesia VIII in 2024, which is centered at the Sungailiat Islamic center, has been officially closed by the Secretary General (Sekjen) of the Central Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI), DR H Amirsyah Tambunan since starting from May 28-30, 2024.
