This paper aims to examine the factors influencing the intention of Muslims towards microfinance application. Empirical studies have demonstrated that microfinance plays a key role in poverty alleviation and could improve under privileged Muslims’ living standards. However, microfinance faces some challenges as majority of Muslims yet to apply and thus, underutilise the benefits therein. The contribution of this paper is to explore the relationship between the identified factors and the level of intention towards microfinance application. To further support this viewpoint, theory of planned behaviour is used to justify and predict the intention in this research. The analysis demonstrated that religion and religiosity, perceived Shariah compliant and Imam’s endorsement have significant impact towards the level of intention in microfinance application. |
