Purpose This paper aims to explore the level of hibah knowledge among Muslims in Kedah and investigate its determinants, consisting of education level, education stream, religiosity, social influence and social media. Design/methodology/approach This study is quantitative in nature. Questionnaires were distributed to collect data from Muslims in Alor Setar, Kedah. In total, 195 questionnaires were collected and data were analyzed using descriptive analysis, correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis. Findings The study finds that Muslims in Alor Setar, Kedah have good knowledge of hibah. Further, education stream, religiosity, social influence and social media were identified as significant factors that influence their knowledge of hibah. Research limitations/implications The first limitation is its narrow focus in surveying Muslims only in Alor Setar, Kedah. The second limitation is the limited number of determinants used in investigating hibah knowledge among Muslims and the techniques used in analyzing the data. Despite these limitations, the study’s findings provide invaluable insights into the factors influencing hibah knowledge among Muslims in Alor Setar, Kedah. Practical implications This study provides insights regarding the significant personal factors and environmental factors to increase Muslims’ knowledge of hibah. The link between the Islamic education stream and hibah knowledge provides a clear indication that Islamic education can curb the economic problems caused by the substantial amounts of frozen and unclaimed assets in Malaysia. A significant relationship between the environmental factors (social influence and social media) and hibah knowledge also implies that the government and private agencies related to Islamic estate planning and management may use these significant determinants as part of the marketing strategy to increase the usage of hibah as an alternative tool for estate planning. Originality/value This study contributes to a better understanding of Muslims’ knowledge about hibah. The government and related agencies in Islamic estate planning and management can now gain better insights into Muslims’ level of knowledge about hibah and the factors influencing their knowledge of hibah as an effective tool for Islamic estate planning and management. Hence, more effective strategies can be recommended to enhance the knowledge of Muslims on hibah. The findings of this study should be of value to the government in its effort to address the increasing number of frozen estates in Malaysia.

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Over the last decades, many researchers made critical literature reviews and meta-analyses related to technology/knowledge transfer and acquisition majors in different contexts. Due to the paucity of research, this study offers a critical literature review (CLR) on international joint ventures’ knowledge acquisition from foreign partners. This study aims to provide a complete analysis of 23 (out of 93) research publications published in reputable journals and conference proceedings between 1996 and 2020. This review research may be considered a vital resource for academics as it fills in some informational gaps, particularly from an international joint venture perspective. In addition, this paper has presented all previous studies by identifying the main critical factors for knowledge acquisition, namely, the determinants, outcomes, moderator, mediator, and context. The paper provides recommendations for future studies.

“…According to Ahmad et al (2013), knowing something necessitates the representation of a mind with acquired information, and knowledge acquisition begins from birth with the acquisition of tacit knowledge through social interactions, observations, insight, intuition, and hunches. To make this process easier, people use a variety of sources and methods to acquire knowledge.…”
