ZAKĀH COMPLIANCE BEHAVIOUR ON INCOME AMONG MUSLIM YOUTH IN KLANG VALLEY

Several studies have shown that the level of zakāh compliance varies by different age groups. when age and income increased, the awareness to pay zakāh also increased. however, compliance behaviour among youth to pay zakāh is low, and there is no assurance that level will increase as age increases. if the level of compliance does not improve, then potential to improve zakāh collection in the future is minimal. therefore, it is very crucial to study the level of compliance behaviour on zakāh among youth and to identify factors influencing their obligation towards paying zakāh. this study was conducted to identify factors influencing zakāh compliance behaviour among youth in klang valley, malaysia. data from 437 respondents were analysed using exploratory factor analysis (efa) and confirmatory factor analysis (cfa). the results showed that youth understanding on zakāh and whether there are proper facilities influenced zakāh compliance behaviour on income significantly.
