Hampered by recent pandemic, Malaysian economic is now slowly recovering. While most recovering effort was undertaken by government, social finance is expected to envision greater role. Previous literature has discussed the potential of waqf as poverty alleviation tool and solving economic problem. However, waqf appear to be unpopular due to legal limitation and lack of public awareness. The objective of the study is hence, to identify and explain factors that have a great influence on intention to contribute to cash waqf among adult workers in Malaysia. The results of this study revealed that the most important factors that influence an individual to contribute to cash Waqf are Attitude and Perceive Behavioural Control. Relationship with greater weight occur among the Perceived Behavioural Control and Intention to Contribute to cash Waqf (0.544) and between Attitude and Intention to Contribute to cash Waqf (0.359). Which suggest that focus must be place in shaping Malaysian attitudes towards cash waqf.
