Mr Kamal owns a garment industry. He gives zakat every year. Which type of economy is indicated in Mr Kamal's case?

Think it through first, then pick an option.

  1. a Socialist
  2. b Capitalist
  3. c Mixed
  4. d Islamic
Answer and explanation

Correct answer: d Islamic

Giving zakat is a feature of the Islamic system, where it is compulsory for the wealthy.

Why the other options are wrong

  • a Socialist: In the socialist system the factors of production are state-owned and everything runs under a central plan. The point asked is not of this system but of the islamic system: the arrangement for zakat.
  • b Capitalist: In the capitalist system the factors of production are privately owned and maximum profit is the aim. The point asked is not of this system but of the islamic system: the arrangement for zakat.
  • c Mixed: In the mixed system the public and private sectors coexist. The point asked is not of this system but of the islamic system: the arrangement for zakat.
