Abstract

The practice of ribā ("usury" or "interest" in Arabic) is forbidden by Islam. This prohibition is inscribed in Islamic Law originating during the Middle Ages in The Arab Peninsula. It is at the core of what is called "Islamic finance", having had a remarkable expansion in the second part of the twentieth century. This article focuses on the origin of ribā prohibition, the problems facing Islamic finance at the eve of the third millennium and the development prospects of Islamic financial institutions. L’Islam interdit le ribā **, mot arabe signifiant à la fois usure et intérêt. L’interdiction du ribā figure dans la loi islamique, née dans l’Arabie du Moyen Âge. Elle est à la base de la finance islamique qui connut une expansion remarquable durant la deuxième moitié du XXe siècle. Nous nous interrogeons sur les origines de cette interdiction, sur les problèmes que connaît actuellement la finance islamique et sur ses perspectives d’avenir.
