Changes and developments in legal conclusion of law must be preceded by studies that respect to certain legitimate methods and rules; likewise, ‘Amil Zakat. Essentially, its conceptual existences and fundamentals have been provided by Shari'ah texts, both in the A-quran, Hadith, yet in Atsar transmissions. In a normal circumstance, legal actions for managing zakat through Amil can be applied directly. However, the development of the zakat theory, the increase of business incomes, quality change of “rich” meanings, the difference of place and time, the potential quantity of revenue and distribution, also generate the changes of the study about ‘Amil Zakat. The ideal idea of ​​the Al-Qur’an utilized "property does not revolve on rich people only", or the proclamation, which the Prophet asserted, "taken from the rich to be returned to the poor", indicates the role that must be played in worship of zakat.

Thus, establishing an applicative concept of ‘amil zakat is theoretically necessary to ensure that social and community roles can be carried out by ‘Amil Zakat as part of the implementation of the idea of ​​shari'ah.

This article seeks to explore the theories of ‘amil zakat by utilizing legal reasoning of methodologies available to predict aspects of zakat management by ‘Amil Zakat which is social welfare oriented.
