Abstract

Zakat serves as a significant mechanism for improving Asnaf’s income. Participants in the Islamic financial industry have acknowledged its potential and adopted various fintech strategies, per Bank Negara Malaysia's support for a more proactive collaborative approach to enhance Malaysia's Islamic social finance (ISF) landscape. Statistics and reports about technology adoption among Asnaf are scarce. This study examines how the extended Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT2) and Technology-Organisation-Environment (TOE) factors affect Asnaf micro entrepreneurs in Malaysia's use of Islamic fintech financing. Following a thorough data screening process, a total of 292 samples is accepted for analysis using a partial least squares structural equation model (PLS-SEM). Performance expectancy, price value, shariah financial literacy, perceived trust, and consumer pressure all significantly and positively influence the intention to use Islamic fintech financing. Subsequently, adoption is significantly influenced by behavioural intentions and facilitating conditions. This research represents one of the initial investigations into end users' factors influencing the adoption of Islamic fintech among Asnaf micro entrepreneurs, a field that is still nascent.

Abstract

This paper examines the seasonality in information asymmetry as proxied by the probability of informed trading (PIN) in relation to the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. It utilizes data collected from Boursa Kuwait, covering the period from January 2013 to December 2018, and pooled panel regressions to test the hypothesis that increasing religiosity during Ramadan would reduce the probability of informed trading. The results reveal that the PIN increases during Ramadan relative to other Islamic calendar months, contrary to our hypothesis. Further tests reveal that institutional trading activities increase during Ramadan compared to individual trading. We argue that the presence of sophisticated traders (institutional traders) in the market during Ramadan contributes to the observed increase in the PIN effect. This study contributes to the literature by exploring the relationship between religiosity and information asymmetry in the context of an Islamic financial market, offering new insights into the behaviour of institutional traders during the holy month of Ramadan. We refer this phenomenon as the “Ramadan PIN effect”, which differs from the previously documented "Ramadan returns effect" and "Ramadan liquidity effect".

Abstract

This study investigates global research trends on the role of Islamic finance in promoting social equity and poverty alleviation. Using bibliometric and content analysis methods, we analyze publications on the subject from Scopus from 1991 to 2025 using Rstudio, VOSviewer and Excel to identify key authors, institutions, and journals and to perform a thematic analysis. The results show increasing academic interest, with publication peaking from 2020 onwards. Leading contributors are M. Kabir Hassan and Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) for respectively authors and institutions. Dominant themes include zakat, waqf, Islamic microfinance, and financial inclusion, alongside emerging areas like Islamic fintech and productive zakat. Despite its growth, the field remains fragmented, with gaps in governance, regional representation, and long-term impact assessments. Future research should focus on integrating Islamic finance with national poverty strategies, addressing gender disparities, and leveraging technology for greater financial inclusion. This study provides a comprehensive roadmap for scholars and policymakers, contributing to a deeper understanding of Islamic finance as a tool for fostering social equity and poverty alleviation.

Abstract

This study conducts a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of research on zakat published between 2011-2024 with the aims to map its intellectual structure, thematic evolution, and collaboration networks. Using science mapping principles, 312 documents from Scopus database are analyzed through co-authorship, citation counts, co-occurrence patterns, thematic analysis, and network visualization using R-based bibliometrix package and biblioshiny interface with AI-assisted visualization. Results reveal five distinct thematic clusters: social and psychological aspects of zakat compliance; digital transformation and technology adoption; institutional efficiency with Malaysian focus; financial governance and accountability; and macro-level zakat management in Indonesia. The field demonstrates remarkable growth with a 28.29% annual growth rate, dominated by Malaysian and Indonesian institutions accounting for over 65% of publications. Research evolution shows a progression from foundational governance issues (2011-2016) to strategic management (2016-2020) and contemporary digital innovation (2020-2024). The study identifies significant research gaps, particularly the absence of in-depth qualitative methodologies and limited cross-country comparative studies. This study offers novel insights into the evolution of zakat governance and highlights the need for interdisciplinary and cross-regional research to strengthen institutional relevance and inclusivity in zakat management.

Abstract

We investigate whether the introduction of Islamic Deposit Insurance (IDI) affects deposit flow of and the pricing by Islamic banks vis-à-vis conventional banks for the case of Indonesia. Using December 2014 announcement of a separate deposit insurance scheme for Indonesia’s Islamic and traditional banks into two different funds as an exogenous event, we employ a difference-in-differences (DID) framework using matched bank-level data from 18 Islamic and conventional banks, comparing periods before and after the policy announcement. Our findings indicate that the announcement significantly boosts the growth of small deposits in Islamic banks compared to traditional banks, with an apparent increase in deposit growth after separating deposit insurance funds.

Abstract

This paper examines the impact of ESG commitment on banks’ default risk in emerging and developing countries. Using a panel dataset comprising 157 banks from 28 countries over the period 2016-2022 and the Two-Step Generalized Method of Moments (2-Step GMM), it reveals that banks’ ESG commitment reduces banks’ probability of default (PD). Islamic banks also matter for ESG commitments, where Islamic banks have a higher probability of default than conventional banks while committing to the governance pillar. The findings of the study imply that financial authorities and banking institutions in emerging and developing countries need to spur banks’ ESG commitment. However, it must be carefully implemented in Islamic banks, considering that it likely increases Islamic banks' PD. The study contributes to the empirical research concerning the nexus between ESG commitment and banks' default by extending the measurement of the probability of default and delving deep into investigating its relation  to Islamic banks.

Abstract

This study develops a Sustainability-based Islamic Corporate Governance (SICG) index that integrates the roles of the Shariah board, regular board, and sustainable board and examines how it impacts multi-dimensional performance of Islamic banks.   It employs a sample of 15 Islamic commercial banks in Indonesia from 2010 to 2023. The findings reveal that governance elements have a positive impact on particularly financial performance, while its influence on social performance is limited. For environmental and sustainability performance, a positive impact is primarily observed in the roles of the regular and sustainable boards. Further analysis through the Paris Agreement interaction confirms that most of these findings are consistent and support the role of SICG in enhancing various performances of Islamic banks. These results highlight the need for Islamic banks in Indonesia to transition toward SICG and suggest that policymakers facilitate this transformation by developing relevant regulations and guidelines to align governance structures with broader sustainability objectives.

Abstract

This paper introduces the Best Sharia-based Capital Asset Pricing Model (BSCAPM), a mathematical modification of the BCAPM model integrating Islamic finance principles. The study focuses on optimizing the beta in the model, incorporating factors aligned with Islamic principles, such as zakat and purification, while excluding short selling. Using data from the Jakarta Islamic Index (JII) from June 2020 to May 2024, the BSCAPM portfolio outperforms the BCAPM portfolio in terms of the Sharpe ratio. The results suggest that BSCAPM could serve as an effective alternative for modeling in Islamic investments, providing Muslim investors with a Shariah-compliant, optimal portfolio formation model. The research contributes to the underexplored domain of portfolio selection modeling in the Islamic sector, enriching references on asset pricing of Shariah portfolios, particularly in the Indonesian Shariah stock market.

Abstract

Maintaining good service quality in halal certification procedures has become crucial as the demand for halal products grows globally. Focusing on Indonesia, this study investigates the relationship between firm satisfaction with halal certification services and support systems, human capital, and anti-bribery practices. The study uses Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) and the SERVQUAL framework to analyze survey data from 2,367 businesses with halal certifications in 32 Indonesian provinces.  The aim is to reveal the determinants of satisfaction and the impact of institutional performance on service delivery. The findings demonstrate that employees with responsiveness, empathy, assurance, and good communication significantly improve not only the perceived quality of services but also the efficacy of anti-bribery initiatives.  Meanwhile, support systems that enhance employee performance and customer satisfaction include sufficient equipment, transparent quality control, and complaint procedures. These findings highlight that integrity and professionalism are just as important as technical systems to make certification successful. This study provides insights for certifying organizations and legislators in formulating strategies to boost the competitiveness of Indonesia's halal market, increase efficiency, and build confidence. Strengthening institutional capacity and reducing bureaucratic barriers can help ensure a more reliable and business-friendly certification ecosystem.

Abstract

This paper examines the impact of country specific EPU on Islamic stock indexes of developed, emerging, and frontier markets using Quantile on Quantile Regression (QQR). For robustness, we employ causality in mean and variance. We gather Islamic stock indexes and country specific EPU data from nine markets, classified as developed, emerging, and frontier, from January 2010 to November 2024. Our findings demonstrate that EPU exhibits predictive power for Islamic stock indexes across different quantiles (lower to higher). Additionally, the effect of EPU on respective Islamic stock indexes is asymmetric. Finally, we also show that country specific EPU negatively (positively) impacts Islamic stocks during bearish (bullish) periods of economic activity. These findings add to our understanding of and contribute to the limited literature on Islamic stock markets, highlighting their unique characteristics and responses to policy-driven uncertainties.
