This study aims to find out the attitude of muzaki in handing over the zakat fund and their perspective of the zakat institution. This study used a qualitative approach, located in 13 cities. The research findings showed that according to muzaki, paying zakat to zakat institution is more ideal, however, they prefer to pay it with two different ways; first is to zakat institution and second is directly given to those who deserve to receive it. Muzaki prefer to pay their zakat to private zakat institutions rather than to those belong to government. Then Zakat funds should be managed by the institution of zakat.
