The worldwide spread of the COVID-19 virus is now a pandemic that affects society daily. Furthermore, the government’s implementation of the Movement Control Order (MCO) to curb the spread of this virus among the community has affected daily economic activities. For example, workers and traders have had to limit their economic activities. The long duration of MCO has also resulted in them facing job losses, salary cuts, and shutting down their business operations. This implication makes the group lose or lack income for their daily life. Therefore, through a qualitative approach to data collection and analysis, this study aims to identify the types of aid provided by MAIDAM through zakat funds to overcome economic problems faced by the community. The study results found that MAIDAM has provided support throughout 44 assistances amounted to RM4.4 million to the 4153 recipients, including 800 households in Terengganu. The study also suggests that MAIDAM extend their assistance to the small and medium business sectors.
