The findings of this research are also supported by studies by Afandi, Fadhillah, and Hidayat (2022); Ikbal, Alamsyah, and Dura (2023) stated that religiosity does not have an impact on the muzakki's decision to pay zakat. An individual who is religious and virtuous may not necessarily determine their decision to give zakat.…”
