Product vs theology on your roadmap
Islamic fintech products must be reviewed by qualified Sharia advisers—engineering cannot “self-certify.” FintechPaa builds payment and lending infrastructure; your board and scholars define permissibility. This guide covers technical patterns teams use once Sharia structure is agreed.
Common product patterns
- Murabaha / cost-plus — disclose cost and profit separately in ledgers and customer statements.
- Agency (Wakalah) — fee-based service rails without interest accrual fields in core schemas.
- Pool investments — segregated accounts, profit distribution jobs, and audit exports.
- No Riba in UX — avoid “interest rate” language; use profit rate, expected return, or fee schedules as approved.
Engineering checklist
- Immutable event log for finance postings and reversals.
- Config-driven profit/fee tables versioned per Sharia board approval.
- AML/KYC hooks consistent with SBP expectations for EMIs and banks.
- Reporting packs for internal Sharia audit and external reviewers.
