Employing a theory of planned behavior model as a baseline theory, a set of questionnaire is constructed to measure donor (waqif) giving intention behavior and data are analyzed accordingly. Concerned with findings, attitude, subjective norm and perceived behavioural control are instrumental in determining cash waqf participation amongst those intellectual. Besides attitude, subjective norm and perceived behavioral control, religiosity is found to have a significant effect on the behavioral intention. Limitations and future researches are outlined.This study is pioneering in understanding the factors contributing the receptivity of cash waqf in Malaysia. Importantly, this study validates the applicability of the theory of planned behavior in a newly context of cash waqf. This issue however has been given poor attention by those who have interest in the area.
