Several Islamic financial institutions adhere robustly to the profit-sharing principle, notably via mudharabah, in product financing. This research paper explains why mudharabah contracts are used in Islamic banking products, focusing on financing schemes, literacy, and the lack of equal access to information. Moreover, within the context of Islamic FinTech, this research highlights high business risk as a pronounced impediment to the efficacious implementation of mudharabah. In addition, this study offers a rigorous analysis of the issues and challenges endemic to mudharabah financing, venturing into perspectives from regulators and Islamic bank customers. This paper utilized a literature review methodology, and data extracted from relevant literature is systematically analyzed to evaluate mudharabah products as a viable business financing model. Conclusively, the insights derived from this research are positioned to formulate strategic recommendations, fostering advancements in implementing mudharabah contracts within Islamic product financing.
