Description
Summary:Islamic microfinance is a powerful Shariah-compliant tool for helping the impoverished escape the cycle of poverty in Bangladesh. Despite a few applications of Islamic microfinance instruments, most of the instruments have been based on Murabahah contracts, while the use of equity or partnership-based contracts has been very minimal. This study aims to analyse the opinions and perspectives of microfinance recipients of Bangladesh regarding the prospects of implementing a partnership-based Islamic microfinance model in Bangladesh where the concepts of Mudarabah and Musharakah will be applied. A mixed-method research method has been adopted in this study. A total of 400 recipients of Islamic microfinance products were surveyed using a close-ended questionnaire to determine their viewpoints about Mudarabah and Musharakah-based Islamic microfinance model.
