A conformity tool for Islamic social entrepreneurship: towards Muslim cocial entrepreneur

Abstract

This study focuses on the development of a conformity tool for Islamic social entrepreneurship (ISE) towards Muslim social entrepreneur (MSE). Previous literature studied on the concept of social entrepreneurship based on the Western perspective. However, none of the Islamic social entrepreneurship model is dedicated towards social entrepreneur. Therefore, the objective of this study is to develop a conformity tool to measure the percentages of social entrepreneur in Islamic social entrepreneurship. The conformity tool was validated through expert review. Findings from the expert reviews show that the majority of the experts agreed and perceived the conformity tool as bringing benefit to the social entrepreneur and entrepreneur institutions; help to give awareness; help to increase the social activities based on Islamic social entrepreneurship; and to avoid prohibited element such as riba, gharar and maisir.
