A scholarly research foundation — Najaf, Iraq
Islamic financial jurisprudence, researched and grounded
We study the jurisprudence of financial and banking transactions according to the school of Ahlulbayt (AS) and the rulings of its leading jurists, while engaging with the research of the other Islamic schools of thought.
Who we are
The Scientific Foundation for Financial Transactions is a specialised research body examining questions of finance and banking through established jurisprudential method and contemporary research practice. Its research, studies, and scholarly articles work to close the distance between settled jurisprudential principles and the instruments and transactions emerging in financial practice today.
