Abstract
Sustainable lifestyles have become crucial for both individual well-being and sustainable development. Previous research has explored various factors that motivate individuals to adopt sustainable lifestyles. However, little attention has been given to the potential of maqasid shariah as a predictor of sustainable lifestyles. This study has examined maqasid shariah's influence on individuals to adopt a sustainable lifestyle. Specifically, it examines the relationship between maqasid shariah as a predictor (independent variable), and sustainable lifestyles as a dependent variable. Additionally, the study explores the moderating role of opinion leadership and the environmental change between the independent and dependent variables. Therefore, the quantitative method is adopted to answer the research questions and achieve this study's objectives. A self-report questionnaire is used to collect the data from malaysian citizens. A total of six hundred eighty-two (n=682) participants from six states participated in the survey. Spss and smartpls were used to analyse the collected data. Thus, several statistical techniques have been executed. However, the partial least squares structural equation modeling (pls-sem) was the primary analysis technique to assess the model and the 15 proposed hypotheses. The findings reveal that out of the 15 proposed hypotheses, five hypotheses were statistically supported, while ten of them were not supported. On one hand, this result demonstrated that maqasid shariah holds promise as a determinant of sustainable lifestyles, particularly in muslim-majority countries.
