While Islam employs various practices that do not involve charging or paying interest, the Islamic financial system promotes the concept of participation in a transaction backed by real assets, utilising the funds at risk on a profit-and-loss sharing basis. ... The concept of profit-and-loss sharing in an enterprise, as a basis of financial transactions is a progressive one as it distinguishes good performance from the bad and the mediocre. This concept therefore encourages better resource management.

Selon ce principe, le financier a droit à un revenu sur le prêt qu'il a fourni et est disposé à supporter une perte si le projet échoue.

[…] tres son las principales prohibiciones que el Islam impone en las finanzas islámicas :(i) el cobro de interés(riba) ;(ii) el embarcarse en riesgos excesivos(gharar), y(iii) las apuestas(maysir). Estas prohibiciones explican que las finanzas islámicas hayan desarrollado instrumentos diferentes a los tradicionales. Por ejemplo, en vez de cobrar intereses a tasas predeterminadas, los contratos financieros islámicos se basan en acuerdos para repartir pérdidas y ganancias.
