The study used personal interview with 10 social entrepreneurs to obtain feedback on the practices of fastabiqul khairat in the corporate philanthropy for social enterprises. The results of the study suggest that the practice of fastabiqul khairat is operationalized under the infaq (judicious spending) through the payment of zakat, corporate donation, and sponsorship on various social activities that linked with business activities. Business owners, strategists and decision makers should introduce fastabiqul khairat corporate philanthropy in business processes and strategies.
