Abstract

Understanding the elements favoured by waqif (donor) in engaging in waqf-based qardhul hassan financing has been a major topic of Islamic social finance, should and if it is implemented to better assist ummah amid financial and health crises, primarily in Malaysia. Previous studies, on the other hand, represented a narrow theoretical viewpoint and disregarded the significance of maqasid al-Shariah and its relationship to customers. Thus, using an Attia's maqasid method (Attia, 2010), this research constructs QAFSCALE to quantify waqif preference of waqf-based qardhul hassan financing in Malaysia. A total of 292 prospective donors responded in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia. Statistical Package of Social Science (SPSS) 21 was used to analyse the data. The results show that the family factor, consumer factor and the ummah factor were found important as constructs representing the QAFSCALE. Interestingly, this study introduces new QAFSCALE that measures waqif preference to donate in waqf-based qardhul hassan financing.
