Abstract

This research aims to have a better understanding of the student’s awareness towards the availability of zakat for education in UUM. Furthermore, this study explores the effectiveness of Kiplepay as a medium of distribution for zakat funds among UUM students. Zakat is one of the important elements in providing quality education, especially for B40 students as zakat reflects Islamic values and principles in alleviating poverty through wealth redistribution as poverty, poor health, restricted food sources affect intellectual capabilities, thus lack of education opportunities. Zakat can facilitate access to quality education which helps in the receiver’s personal and the country’s economic growth through enhancement of knowledge and skills productivity and development. A study amongst B40 students in UUM was conducted to get a deeper understanding of zakat awareness, including the process and terms and conditions in applying and distributing zakat funds as well as the perception of Kiplepay e-wallet as a distribution medium for zakat funds. This study is expected to provide good groundwork to further enhancement of zakat distribution among the recipients of zakat for education in a higher education institution. The findings show a moderate level of awareness among the recipients regarding the process and terms and conditions of application and distribution of the zakat funds. The Kiplepay is also moderately effective in distributing the zakat funds in UUM. This study can contribute ideas to certain parties to improve the effectiveness of the application and distribution process for zakat funds. This study will benefit both future researchers and practitioners alike.
