About Islamic Microfinance
Islamic microfinance refers to the system of finance that is based on Islamic law, also known as “Sharia.” It combines the elements of “Islamic finance” and “microfinance.” The main feature of Islamic finance that differentiates it from conventional finance is the non-existence of a fixed, pre-determined interest in any financial transaction. Islamic microfinance has a major role in poverty alleviation in under-developed nations across the world. A huge part of the Islamic population is reluctant to use conventional financial products due to their incompatibility with Islamic principles. Islamic microfinance is a way to promote financial inclusion among such population.
