“…In TPB, an individual’s intentions are influenced by three factors, namely, attitude, subjective norms and perceived behavioral control (PBC) (Ajzen and Fisbhein, 1980). This framework has been used in a number of studies examining the determinants of waqf in Muslim countries (see, among others, Osman, 2014; Mokhtar, 2017; Sukhor et al , 2017; and Mutalib et al , 2019), due to its ability to explain behavioral intention (Ajzen, 2005; and Osman, 2014). Therefore, this study uses the TPB framework to examine the role of knowledge, trust and religiosity in explaining online cash waqf among Muslim Indonesian urban millennials.…”

“…In previous studies (see, for example, Osman, 2014; Shukor et al ,2017; and Shukor et al , 2014), attitude factors have been shown to have a positive effect on the intention to donate cash waqf. In Malaysia, Osman (2014) and Mutalib et al (2019) have found that attitude is the dominant variable significantly affecting young intellectuals’ intention to participate in cash waqf. Similarly, in Indonesia, a study by Jabar (2014) have found that attitude significantly influences intention to donate cash waqf in Baitul Maal Muamalat, a social unit within the Bank Muamalat Indonesia (the first Islamic bank in Indonesia).…”

“…The importance of trust is also emphasized by a similar study conducted in Bangladesh (Hasan et al , 2019). Furthermore, several studies have found that knowledge and religiosity factors influence the Muslim attitude toward cash and online waqf in Malaysia (Amin et al , 2014; Mokhtar 2016; and Mutalib et al , 2019). In the case of Indonesia, studies regarding cash waqf are still rare, with most being theoretical in nature and focusing on aspects such as the role of waqf in alleviating poverty (see, for instance, Masyita, 2005) and building public infrastructure (see, among others, Mohsin, 2013).…”

Purpose This study aims to determine the role of knowledge, trust and religiosity in influencing the intention to donate cash waqf online among Muslim millennials in Indonesia. Design/methodology/approach Using a framework based on the theory of planned behavior, primary data was collected from 418 Muslim millennials who domiciled in large cities in Indonesia and subsequently analyzed using the structural equation modeling method. Findings The main findings suggest that knowledge, trust and religiosity play a positive role in explaining the intention to donate cash waqf online among Indonesia’s millennials. Religiosity is found to be the most powerful factor in influencing attitude, while knowledge is the least significant factor influencing the attitude, which subsequently influences the intention to engage in online cash waqf. Social norms and perceived behavioral control are also positively influencing such intention. Practical implications These results imply that it is important for waqf institutions to reflect strong Islamic values in their cash waqf products and to more strongly communicate religious messages about the benefits of giving cash waqf to the millennials. It is also crucial to increase waqf literacy through appropriate campaigns. Moreover, they need to be more transparent and accountable to establish, maintain and enhance trust in their organizations. Overall, these findings are expected to provide insights enabling waqf institutions to devise effective marketing strategies for raising the level of online cash waqf donation in Indonesia. Originality/value This is thought to be one of the first studies to investigate the factors influencing online cash waqf donations among Muslim millennials in Indonesia.

“…Shukor et al (2017) determined Muslim attitude on participation in cash waqf and found that individual religiosity, faith in awqaf institutions and ease of endowment are predecessors of Muslim attitudes for monetary waqf participation, which lead to individual intention to participate in waqf. Attitude was also found to moderate peers and promotion variables in assessing factors influencing waqf participation among Muslims (Mutalib et al, 2019). Osman et al (2014) analyzed cash waqf participation among intellectuals and concluded that attitude, among others, is a vital element in determining cash waqf participation.…”

“…Nor and Rosman (2017) found that the community is hesitant when it comes to implementing waqf education for higher education institutions in Malaysia because of lack of knowledge of waqf as well as waqf governance that has not been properly implemented. Waqf land was also challenging to be developed because of non-strategic location (Mutalib et al, 2019) and not properly maintained (Jalil, 2020). In terms of corporate waqf, it was found that attitude and subjective norm have a positive relationship toward the behavioral intention.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to assess small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) owners’ intentions to participate in waqf, involving two countries, which are Malaysia and Indonesia, using the theory of planned behavior. SMEs are the backbone of many economies, representing 95% of all companies worldwide and accounting for 60% of employment. Based on this fact, this paper analyzes the influence of religiosity, knowledge and attitude to predict the intentions of SMEs’ owners in waqf participation in Malaysia and Indonesia. Design/methodology/approach Data were randomly obtained from 175 SMEs owners from Malaysia and Indonesia with the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) used for analysis. Findings The empirical analysis data suggest that knowledge and attitude show a significant impact on the intentions of SMEs’ owners to participate in waqf, while religiosity does not have a significant impact on the intentions of Malaysian and Indonesian SMEs’ owners to participate in waqf. Practical implications This study aims to assist SMEs in Malaysia and Indonesia to formulate appropriate strategies and marketing using waqf for the sustainability of SMEs which represent more than 90% of business establishments in both countries. The strategy is a necessity, especially because the government is targeting to promote a sustainable Islamic financial system, improve governance policy and halal industry for SMEs, strengthen the development of Malay Reserve land, providing as financial independence to higher learning institutions and invest in digitalization and advanced technology through waqf funds. Therefore, both countries should take the initiative to provide training to equip SMEs with extensive knowledge through multiple platforms to further encourage their participation in waqf. Originality/value Because of the increasing interest in waqf participation both in Malaysia and Indonesia, this study claims three essential contributions. First, it aims to examine the intention of SMEs in waqf participation among the business owners in Malaysia and Indonesia. Second, the study findings are expected to benefit the development of literature in accordance with Islamic social finance, particularly waqf. Third, this study provides an insight into the inclusive knowledge and attitude of SME owners and their intention to participate in waqf.

PurposeThe literature about the dynamics of Muslims' awareness and perception of waqf has been generally scarce,especially in Nigeria. As renewed efforts are emerging to develop a new waqf regime in the country, this study examines this aspect in Gombe metropolis, Nigeria, with a view to identifying the key factors shaping people's perception and awareness towards waqf.Design/methodology/approachTo achieve the objective of this study, primary data were collected through a survey among 494 business owners in the Gombe metropolis. The data were then analysed using probit and Tobit regression models.FindingsThe study found that altruistic behaviour, religiosity level, educational level and young age are among the factors that determine people's perception and awareness towards donating to waqf among business owners in Gombe. Altruism and young age embolden businesspersons to recognise the effectiveness of waqf institutions in solving socioeconomic challenges.Practical implicationsThe findings of this study imply that waqf has huge potential in the study area and that with well-structured, organized waqf education programmes within the business community using diverse avenues, a robust waqf sector can be developed.Originality/valueAs far as the study area and the entire Nigerian Islamic economics and finance landscape is concerned, the study has explored a novel research area. Given the infant stage of empirical studies on waqf in Nigeria, there are virtually no previous attempts to examine the awareness and perception of businesspersons towards waqf; variables that are key to the development of an effective sector.
