The Impact of Attitude, Subjective Norms and Perceived Behavioral Control on Intention to Make Hibah: A Study among Muslims in Klang Valley

Open access
Financial management and planning is a crucial part of a person’s life as it has tremendous impact on their livelihood and socioeconomic status. Islam has provided various instruments and principles for the spending and distribution of one’s wealth, but the actual implementation of these instruments is still under-utilized. Hibah, which is a voluntary grant of property made by a person to another is one such instruments that could alleviate the many problems relating to inheritance and property distribution among Muslims in the country. Unfortunate, the awareness on the importance and the usage of hibah is quite low in Malaysia. Thus, this study is undertaken to provide an insight into what influences the hibah making intention of Muslims in Klang Valley using the Theory of Planned Behaviour. The findings shows that all three variables employed in this study are proven to have significant relationship with intention to make hibah and among the three, perceived behavioural control has the strongest relationship and is the most influential determinant of intention to make hibah. The findings reveal several implications especially on the angles from which wealth management companies could tailor the information provided to Muslims on the benefits and ease of making hibah.
