the built environment by wakaf-zakat and housing, respectively. ,
A combination of these two areas of study, requires a well-defined
research methodology that the paper evaluates the suitability of
qualitative methods to achieve the stipulated research objectives.
Consequently, attainment of each research objective through
specified methods is explained either by way of interview,
case-study, observation and focus-group-discussion. Insequent,
after an extensive literature review was conducted, the instrument
for data collection was instituted. It was piloted through a
focus-group-discussion (FGD), and the amendments to the
instrument was made accordingly. Then, the data collection was
done through case-studies and observations of wakaf-zakat
housing projects as well as interviews. Experts in religious
studies and the built environment were selected for the above
FGD and interviews. The data collected was critically analysed by
way of content analysis. The outcome of the analysis was
presented to the experts again for validation. For FGD and
interviews, the purposive sampling with a high degree of
respondent selection criteria is adopted. Overall, the study found
that those qualitative methods are suitable to achieve the
stipulated objectives for wakaf-zakat housing provision research |
