Harvard Law School (Islamic Finance Project)

Harvard Law School's Islamic Finance Project is a research initiative that explores the legal and ethical aspects of Islamic finance, which complies with Islamic law (Sharia). It analyzes financial practices like banking, investment, and contracts to ensure they align with principles such as risk-sharing and prohibitions against interest. The project aims to promote understanding, develop legal frameworks, and facilitate ethical financial innovation within Islamic finance globally. Through scholarly research, publications, and collaborations, it seeks to bridge traditional Islamic principles with modern financial systems.
