[…] 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.
