"www.islamic-finance.com was founded in 1997 as the world's first website dedicated exclusively to the field of Islamic finance. Since its inception, the site has maintained an independent editorial and sought to promote open debate on critical contemporary issues. Whilst we favour traditional understandings and implementations of fiqh, we adopt an inclusive approach to the subject matter and therefore allow the full range of juristic and technical opinion to be represented on our various databases."
