Cash waqf plays a crucial role in enhancing waqf institutions and contributing to the socioeconomic development of the ummah. However, there is a significant gap in previous studies regarding the social and psychological factors influencing individuals’ decisions to donate to a cash waqf. This study aims to examine the determinants of donor (waqif) intention to contribute to cash waqf among young intellectuals in Malaysia, specifically in Johor. Utilising the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) as the foundational framework, a structured questionnaire was developed to measure donor intention. The findings indicate that attitude and subjective norm significantly influence young intellectuals’ participation in cash waqf. Additionally, trust is found to play a crucial role in shaping behavioural intentions. This study pioneers an in-depth understanding of factors affecting cash waqf receptivity in Malaysia and validates the applicability of TRA in this context. The findings provide practical implications for waqf institutions and policymakers to enhance strategies for promoting cash waqf contributions.
