This study aims to analyze the impact of the Family Hope Program (PKH) on improving the welfare of poor communities in Mlandingan Village from the perspective of sharia economics. The method used is descriptive qualitative. The research was conducted in Mlandingan Village, Mlandingan District, Situbondo Regency, East Java, Indonesia.
