ONE STOP CASH WAQF
Literature mentioned that collection of cash waqf in Malaysia is still at infancy level. The total collection of cash waqf per employed Muslims in Malaysia for 2019 is only RM0.28 as mentioned by W. Ismail et, al. (2021) who suggested that technology usage could be one of the methods in improving cash waqf collection. It was supported by Tri Kurniawati et al., (2021); Kasri & Yuniar, (2021); Zheng (2020); Li et al (2018) who have highlighted positive relation between technology usage and intention to donate, and they conclude that intention to make donation is influenced by technology usage. The satisfaction from donating using the technology increases the intention to donate as the cost is also very minimum as pointed out by Tri Kurniawati et al. (2021). Hence, an idea of creating a one stop cash waqf as an innovation of the existing method to provide convenience, trust and flexibility to the Muslims to contribute cash waqf is a suitable alternative today. It is to provide a platform that all the collectors of cash waqf need to register to be a participant in one stop cash waqf which would be validated by the Waqf Institutions. Contributors could easily choose to whom they intend to contribute. This would be able avoid different forms of cash waqf fraud as highlighted by Rahman & Sohel (2019). At the same time, this platform will provide varieties of waqf contributions such as school, university, mosque, orphanage house, and public facilities. The suggested platform could be in a form of website which is generally convenient to the public. This proposed method would be able to reduce illegal collection of waqf. This kind of technology improvement is envisaged to increase collection of cash waqf by convincing Muslims with trust, flexible, convenience and friendly user.
