ZAKĀH COMPLIANCE BEHAVIOUR ON INCOME AMONG MUSLIM YOUTH IN KLANG VALLEY

Abstract

Several studies have shown that the level of zakāh compliance varies by different age groups. When age and income increased, the awareness to pay zakāh also increased. However, compliance behaviour among youth to pay zakāh is low, and there is no assurance that level will increase as age increases. If the level of compliance does not improve, then potential to improve zakāh collection in the future is minimal. Therefore, it is very crucial to study the level of compliance behaviour on zakāh among youth and to identify factors influencing their obligation towards paying zakāh. This study was conducted to identify factors influencing zakāh compliance behaviour among youth in Klang
