The Corona pandemic (COVID-19) is one of the most severe pandemics that has swept the whole world without exception, leaving many negative impacts on human societies. Perhaps the most severe of these effects is the economic deterioration of many countries of the world, including the countries of the Islamic world, which are groaning from the repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic, which negatively affected the economic income of many members of societies and many members of the Islamic community moved from the site of funding for zakat institutions to the site of the beneficiaries of the banks of zakat. With the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic and the health and economic consequences of this pandemic on all areas of economic activity worldwide without exception, this problem is raised on the scientific area to find practical solutions to mitigate the economic damage to most members of society. Among these solutions, the zakat institutions in Islamic countries are at the forefront in terms of helping the needy and the affected person. This research paper tries to address the relationship of zakat banks in mitigating the negative effects of COVID-19 pandemic and the mechanisms of dealing with this pandemic through the activation of legal zakat banks. This is through the participation of zakat institutions in contributing to the campaign to provide vaccination for COVID-19 and also activating the mechanisms of zakat banks in order to mitigate the economic damages that have greatly affected the economic side of society. The study aims to analyse the economic damage because of COVID-19 pandemic, the importance of zakat institutions in helping to mitigate the economic damages and activating the mechanisms of legal zakat banks. The researchers use qualitative method of study to conduct this research. The data in this research was collected through library research approach and the analysis was done using content analysis method. The importance of the research appears given that the zakat banks include a large sector of those who need financial assistance in normal circumstances, and as a matter of priority in such a pandemic that affected the whole world without exception. Hence the importance of the research in shedding light on the mechanisms of activating zakat banks in the COVID-19 pandemic.
