Thus, the aim of the study is to identify how the social influence and financial knowledge affects the savings behaviour among Muslims in Malaysia. This study employs mixed methods for the purpose of data collection. Quantitative approach (a questionnaire survey) has been implemented, followed by semi-structured interviews.
