This study also examined the association between level of knowledge and attitude towards the practice of rukhsah in prayer among undergraduate students at the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM), Kuantan.

Stratified random sampling was used to select the respondents among undergraduate students to answers the questionnaire. The obtained data were then entered and coded into IBM SPSS version 24.0 for analysis.

Also, a significant positive association between level of knowledge and attitude towards the practice of rukhsah in prayer was identified (p < 0.005).
