This study aims to evaluate the welfare of mustahik through the BAZNAS program in Mojokerto Regency from the perspective of Maqashid Sharia, and to examine the role of BAZNAS Mojokerto Regency in greater depth. The research employs a qualitative approach with a case study method. Observations, interviews, document analysis, annual reports, and literature reviews were conducted to validate the implementation of the BAZNAS program in Mojokerto Regency. The results show that BAZNAS Mojokerto Regency has made significant efforts in distributing zakat funds for the welfare of the community. However, there are several challenges related to the efficiency of fund management and distribution, which affect the optimal achievement of Maqashid Sharia goals.
