“…This research proposed two additional variables for enhancement: knowledge and trust to attitude. The study has articulated existing studies such as those of Bagheri, Chitsazan & Ebrahimi (2019) and Jamal et al (2019), in which TPB was extended with other variables. It was found that knowledge had a positive and significant impact on attitude.…”

“…In the zakat payment context, when muzaki understand zakat knowledge, they tend to pay zakat using all the information they have obtained. Jamal, Yaccob, Bartikowski & Slater (2019) argue that a high level of understanding of Islamic teachings and principles inspires Muslims to donate and give to charity. Husin and Rahman (2016) also found that knowledge had a significant effect on the attitude to participate in takaful products.…”

This research investigates the factors that influence the intention of paying zakat maal through zakat institutions. By paying zakat in such a way, muzaki can support zakat institutions in eradicating poverty through a broader and deeper distribution of zakat funds. However, the realisation of zakat collection remains low compared to its potential, which means that the number of muzaki who pay zakat through institutions also remains limited. The research applied the extended theory of planned behavior (TPB) framework with knowledge, trust, and perceived ease of use as additional variables to address the issue in question. Subsequently, an online questionnaire was conducted using the purposive sampling method, which generated 383 respondents. The primary data were examined using the PLS-SEM method. Based on the results, all the proposed hypotheses were accepted. Considering that paying zakat via institutions provides a better way to assist rightful recipients, various suggestions are made to zakat managers, policymakers, and muzaki. The research highlights a new perspective by examining the intention of paying zakat maal through institutions with the additional variables of knowledge, trust, and perceived ease of use.

“…At the same time, the faith may also discourage public displays of giving that might lead to some individuals downplaying their religious giving (Diop et al 2018). Therefore, Muslims across many cultures have established formal and informal practices to nurture the institution of charity within their local communities as well as broader international communities (Jamal et al 2019;Maarouf 2012). Of course, religious communities also extend beyond local communities, and Muslims, like other religious groups, debate whether it is best to support local needs both inside and outside their community or to support a global religious ingroup (umma).…”

How Does Religion Affect Giving to Outgroups and Secular Organizations? A Systematic Literature Review

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Although religious giving represents the largest sector of charitable giving in the US, its overall impact on social welfare has been questioned, pointing to the possibility that the majority of funding might stay within the religious community, with little benefit to outgroups or secular charity. Despite multiple studies showing a positive relationship between religion and secular and outgroup giving, some empirical findings show a negative or non-significant relationship. By employing a systematic literature review, the current study explores theories and empirical evidence to provide an integrative framework that identifies the mechanisms and directions through which religion affects giving to outgroups and secular organizations. The study also compares the major five religious traditions and giving to outgroups and secular organizations. The study finds that religious teachings, norms, values, social network, and private rituals, determine the direction of the relationship between religion and giving to outgroups and secular organizations. The study concludes that, despite the dominant positive relationship between religion and giving to outgroup and secular organizations, there remains heterogeneity among the studies based on their location, operationalization of religion and secular giving, and methodology used. The study also poses some implication questions and points out future research directions.

“…The level of religiosity has an interdependence relationship with the development of Islamic Spirit. The higher the level of religiosity, the higher the spiritual system, which is manifested in the form of akhlakul karimah consistently (Jamal, Yaccob, Bartikowski, & Slater, 2019) since "every worship activity that is right will affect the upholding of morals and cleanliness of the soul" (Ridla, 1373 H).…”
