Abstract
The takaful industry, a sector that is guided by Shariah-compliant principles, is progressively investigating cutting-edge technologies to improve service delivery and operational efficiency. This study investigates the influence of social factors and facilitating conditions on the intention to adopt drone technology within the Takaful sector in Malaysia and Indonesia. A quantitative research design was employed, with data collected from 68 Takaful professionals. The results were analyzed using correlation and regression techniques. The findings revealed that social influence and facilitating conditions significantly impact behavior intention, while performance and effort expectancy were found to be less important. Additionally, the study integrates Maqasid Shariah principles, ensuring that the adoption of drone technology aligns with Islamic ethical considerations. The study also urges more investigation to investigate the generalisability of these results over many cultural and legal environments as well as the possible impact of developing technologies like artificial intelligence and blockchain on the sector.
