Abstract

Misusing educational zakat aid challenges higher education institutions (HEIs). Thus, a qualitative case study was conducted using a semi-structured interview with selected Malaysian zakat experts to identify the concept of educational zakat aid from the Islamic perspective and among the HEI students in Malaysia. The findings showed that the educational zakat aid is a form of Islamic principle's social justice implementation, grounded on the needs of prioritized asnaf students who face difficulties in payments of tuition fees, cost-of-living funds, learning equipment, medical assistance, emergency assistance, natural disaster assistance, additional academic aid, as well as mobility fee funding.
