The emergence of cash waqf as one of the instruments used to fund welfare-based programs and projects has attracted the interest of many researchers, especially from Malaysia, Indonesia, United States, United Kingdom and Germany. Among the research themes that are often highlighted by researchers in this field are related to the community's response and perception towards cash waqf which explains the aspects of community acceptance and awareness according to the diversity in terms of geographical aspects, demographics and target groups. However, the themes in this study are not collected in the form of a study that analyzes the results of studies that have been produced by previous researchers based on a country. Therefore, this study attempts to explore and analyze the latest issues from the findings of previous studies related to the acceptance and the awareness of the society in Malaysia towards cash waqf from the literature aspect. This is intended to be used as a follow-up study and a basis of reference for future researchers related to cash waqf.
