This study was conducted to see the methodology in qualitative research for the determination of research informants. The determination of informants is based on previous research theories for the study of Micro Takaful for the Elderly which involves micro takaful supply channels with direct government cooperation and indirect government cooperation. For direct government cooperation can be divided into government and private sector or government, private sector, and NGO. Therefore, the micro takaful study was conducted as a field study involving the Department of Social Welfare (JKM) which represents the federal government directly managing services for the elderly in this country, Kifaalah Sdn.Bhd representing the Kelantan state government has offered takaful products to the elderly, Darul Ilmi Elderly Study Center representing the Federal Territories Islamic Religious Council (MAIWP) and Darul Insyirah Elderly Care and Education Center representing Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs).
