Study on the level of awareness of property management through hibah among staff at Yayasan Islam Kelantan / Siti Khairul Aisyah Azhan

This study investigates the level of awareness of property management through grants among employees of Yayasan Islam Kelantan (YIK). Hibah is one of the important instruments in property management and planning. The purpose of the study is to determine the extent to which Yayasan Islam Kelantan staff know about this Shariah-compliant property management instrument. This study uses a qualitative approach with interview methods, literature review, and observation. Interviews involved Kelantan Islamic Foundation staff, including married and unmarried, to assess their understanding of Islamic grants and finance. A literature review was used to check relevant reference materials, while observations were conducted to complement the interview findings. The objective of the study is based on the employees' understanding of the grant concept. The results of the study show that YIK employees' awareness of the Shariah-compliant hibah concept varies, depending on personal values, exposure to Islamic finance and educational background. These findings indicate potential areas for property management programs to increase knowledge and encourage greater uptake in Kelantan.
