Abstract

Although Islamic banking products like tawarruq and bay al-inah personal financing products available in the Malaysian Islamic banking market, their ability to meet the need of those disadvantaged in the case of health crisis like COVID-19 or financial crisis are somehow marginal.  There is a need for Islamic social finance products to meet this challenge and one of them is the offered qardhul hassan financing funded through crowdfunding on the basis of waqf. This is called waqf-based qardhul hassan financing. For this purpose, this study introduces QAFSCALE, referred to qardhul hassan financing scale to gauge waqif preference on the facility should it is made available in the market. A total of 324 waqif or donors were participated in this study to identify their preference in donating their money in the facility should it is introduced. This study used Attia’s (2010) maqasid al-Shariah theory to generate the QAFSCALE, beginning from the conceptualisations, dimensions and importantly the batter items that represent the QAFSCALE. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is used. The results obtained indicate that humanity factor is ranked first in importance, followed by family factor, consumer factor and ummah factor. This study limitation is the sample size. A broader sample would have made the result better. Adding to that, the newly designed scale is first of its kind in the context of waqf-based qardhul hassan financing and more studies needed to prove its applicability and generalization, at least. The results obtained might be of interest to managers of Islamic banks and the like to understand their potential waqif preference in the context of waqf-based qardhul hassan financing. Four factors drawn from QAFSCALE were evaluated to identify important factors leading to the waqif contribution on waqf.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effect of religiosity and halal awareness on halal purchase intention and analyze the mediating effect of halal awareness on the relationship between religiosity and halal purchase intention. The cluster sampling method was employed to select the sample size, and the total sample was 400 respondents from three regions of Aceh Province. This study used Structure Equation Modeling (SEM) AMOS to predict a set of indicators of latent variables constructed by several dimensions and indicators, i.e., religiosity was measured by ritual, ideology, intellectual, passion, and consequential dimensions, while halal awareness was determined by five indicators, as well as halal purchase intention. The validity and reliability were tested, and all the latent constructs had a good discriminant validity value. Additionally, the full model after modification was utilized to raise the Goodness of Fit (GOF). The results demonstrated that religiosity positively and significantly affected halal awareness. Similarly, religiosity and halal awareness positively and significantly affected halal purchase intention. It indicates that increasing religiosity and halal awareness enhance interest in buying halal food. It can be concluded that religiosity and awareness are vital indicators in explaining the increasing interest in buying halal products. Moreover, the mediating effect results uncovered a partial mediation of halal awareness on the relationship between religiosity and halal purchase intention. It implies that halal awareness has an essential role in mediating this relationship.

Abstract

This study aims at investigating the impact of the banking industry’s concentration on the stability of Islamic commercial banks in Indonesia. This study used a single country setting of 14 Islamic-commercial banks in Indonesia from 2011 to 2020. The data utilized in this study comprised all Islamic-commercial banks' assets in Indonesia, excluding commercial banks with Islamic business units. The influence of concentration level on the stability of Islamic-commercial banks was investigated using a panel data model. According to Hausman's test, the fixed-effect model is more suitable than the random-effect model. The findings indicate that the “concentration-stability” hypothesis was supported-robust using two concentration level measurements: CR4 and HHI. It is implied that banks tended to be more stable at the higher competition level. From the bank’s specific characteristics, only the cost-to-income ratio significantly influenced the bank's stability, as expected. Other bank-specific characteristics, such as bank size, credit risk, and income diversity, had no substantial influence on observed bank stability. A robustness check was performed by estimating new models that included multiple control variables that did not change the effect of concentration level on the bank’s stability. This study adds to the literature by demonstrating the “concentration-stability” hypothesis in the Indonesian Islamic-commercial banking industry. Moreover, this study’s results confirm the previous study’s findings using different methods and measures of industry concentration. In addition, this study is relevant in the context of the merger action of three large Islamic commercial banks.

Abstract

Financial self-efficacy is used as an intermediary variable in this study to examine how Islamic financial literacy affects financial inclusion. The participants in this study are final-semester Muslim economics students. Accidental sampling is the method employed. The response percentage for the 300 questionnaires distributed—181 of which were returned—was 60%. The investigation came to two important conclusions. First, financial inclusion and financial self-efficacy are significantly impacted by Islamic financial literacy. Second, the effect of Islamic financial literacy on financial inclusion is not significant. These findings may have an impact on legislators, service providers, and institutions of higher learning. Islamic finance should be a subject covered in higher education, either as part of the core curriculum or as an elective. To help the consumer better understand the given product information, the service provider should give them comprehensive information. The provision of financial education to certain groups, such as housewives or workers in offices, must be addressed in a number of ways by policymakers.

Abstract

Cash Waqf Linked Sukuk (CWLS) is a newly developed social investment instrument to stimulate Indonesia's productive waqf movement. CWLS has numerous commercial and social benefits and worship values. However, despite these advantages, it takes a long time for CWLS to collect funds due to various challenges and inadequate investors' response rate, which is still far from expectation. Thus, this study looks into the contributing factors and antecedence that entail and determine the decision of an institutional investor to invest. The theoretical framework applied the decomposed theory of planned behavior (DTPB). Additionally, it highlights a new perspective by delivering the specific determinants that impact investors' attitudes, moral norms, and perceived behavior control. These factors offer a deep understanding of the association and determine their definite effects on intentions. Based on a survey of 250 respondents, analyzed using partial least squares – structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM), it was found that the proposed hypotheses were accepted. Above all, the important finding is the contribution of attitude as the dominant determinant impacting the investor's intention. It was mainly driven by perceived Ihsan as part of the Muslim religiosity dimension reflecting the spirit to do good. This study's findings provide deeper insight into untested behavior literature. This study will also benefit policymakers, academicians, and future researchers.

Abstract

This research aimed to analyze the influence of trust and waqf knowledge (WK) on intention to make endowment for programs in agricultural sector using Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with 4th edition of SmartPLS analytical tool. In addition, the questionnaire was adopted from previous analyses and filled in by 100 respondents familiar with waqf. The results showed that three variables, which were components of Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), namely subjective norm (SN), attitude toward behavior (ATB), and perceived behavioral control (PBC) had a significant influence on intention to perform waqf in agricultural sector. Regarding the main result, ATB mediated the role of trust and waqf knowledge for waqf. The results had implications for the importance of increasing waqf literacy for all levels of society by presenting religious leaders and increasing nazhir's professionalism in managing funds.

Abstract

Indonesia's recognition as the most charitable country in the world makes research on donations through crowdfunding platforms an intriguing subject for study. The objective of this study is to analyze the impact of technology and institutions factors on people's intentions to donate through the crowdfunding platform. This study employs Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with a sample size of 155 questionnaires. The results indicate that components of Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) (performance expectancy, effort expectancy, facilitating conditions, and social influence) and institutional factors (trust and transparency) have a significant positive influence on people's intentions to donate through the platform kitabisa.com. These findings imply the importance of developing new technologies for philanthropic organizations and increasing public intention to donate, especially through donation crowdfunding. This research also contributes theoretically to the development of the UTAUT model by integrating trust and transparency.

Abstract

Integrating the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), this study adapts and augments the model with the concept of lacking halal awareness, establishing a robust theoretical framework. The investigation explores the impact of factors like lack of halal awareness, negative attitude, low subjective norms, and perceived low behavioral control on the formation of weak intentions. Furthermore, the study delves into the mediating role of weak intention, investigating its influence on the relationship between the proposed adoption factors and the reluctance among millennials to purchase halal food products. The analysis involves 203 responses gathered through an online survey. The results reveal nuanced insights. While the lack of halal awareness exerts no significant effect on weak intention, negative attitude, low subjective norms, and perceived low behavioral control significantly impact its formation. Interestingly, weak intention is not observed as a mediator between the lack of halal awareness and the reluctance to purchase halal food products among millennials. However, it fully mediates the link between negative attitude, low subjective norms, perceived low behavioral control, and the reluctance to purchase such products. These findings hold implications for consumers, producers of halal food products, and the Indonesian Government. By unraveling the complexities of halal food awareness reluctance, the study contributes to valuable insights for informed decision-making, strategic planning, and effective engagement within the halal market.

Abstract

Almost wherever the economy is growing, small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) are the ones doing the heavy lifting. Who are these SMEs? How does the definition of SME differ across different countries? What are the contributions of SMEs in terms of employment and GDP? How can Islamic finance play a significant role in scaling up the business performance of SMEs and, subsequently, their contribution to employment and the economy? What are the issues and challenges faced by SMEs and Islamic finance that would resolve into greater employment generation? Addressing all these questions, this paper provides an overview of SMEs globally and their definitions in different countries as well as in Malaysia. Simultaneously, some issues and challenges are discussed. Furthermore, the paper presents Islamic finance as a better solution to the financial accessibility of SMEs in future economic activities. The paper thus attempts to illustrate a model or framework that would work well for SMEs to generate productive employment opportunities in their respective economies. To achieve the objectives of this paper, secondary data was used to present all the statistical figures and tables. For any generalizations, recommendations, or conclusions, an extensive review of literature from various sources was conducted.
