Cash waqf is important to the development of a Muslim community's socioeconomic well-being as well as to a nation's economy and society. Scholars believe that the contribution of cash waqf is much more signficant and relevant today due to its flexibility as compared to waqf properties. In the context of Malaysia, one alternative tool that can help enhance social welfare in general, lower poverty rate, and relieve the burden of the government is cash waqf. Many ways have been proposed to encourage the society to contribute cash waqf for the benefits of the ummah. Therefore, this paper aims to identify the behaviour that influences the contribution of cash waqf in Malaysia using the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB). Technology usage in collecting cash waqf is anticipated to serve as a step towards increasing the quantity of funds in line with the recent advances in technology. As such, increased technology usage is suggested in order to increase waqf contributions. A total of 284 Muslims were selected as the respondents in this study to determine the variables influencing cash waqf contributions. In order to assess the data using correlation analysis, the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) method was utilised. According to the results of the correlation research, there is a high and favourable link between the Theory of Planned Behaviour and technology use in affecting cash waqf contributions. Hence, it can be summarized that technology usage could increase the intention of Muslims to contibute cash waqf whereby technology advancement is implemented in the method of collection.
