       Appendix A.1: Effects of Zakat on Wealth Redistribution

      This appendix provides an illustration of how the institution of Zakat in an Islamic economy encourages investment and provides a disincentive for hoarding wealth. For a particular individual, net Zakat wealth at a point in time is given by Equation (A.1):

      Here, Y_t represents the income of an individual in period t. A_{t − 1} represents the total value of endowments carried forward from the last period. C_t represents the consumption expenditure in time period t. ROZ represents the rate of Zakat, which is 2.5% on surplus wealth.

      Further expansion of Equation (A.1) yields

      Applying the 2.5% value of ROZ in Equation (A.2) yields

      If the equation is expanded iteratively forward, it becomes

      The wealth function will reduce A_{t − 1} in the subsequent time period. The increase in wealth only depends on enhancing Y_t or reducing C_t. This shows that only labour income or financial income which involves productive enterprise and risk taking along with moderation in consumption can enhance the wealth.
