The article looks at Islamic finance from the point of view of Muslim familiesin immigration territories. In many countries there is no access to shari’ha compliantfinancial instruments, despite the presence of immigrants and citizenswhose religion defines the financial world. The article focuses on a topic thatis not very in-depth analysed in social sciences, it combines the perspective ofstudies on Islam in the diaspora with the instruments of sociology of money andfinance with a particular focus on management of resources by families. Whathappens in contexts where the majority acts, buys and invests following differentmodalities, norms and attitudes? Is reconciling the respect of the normson finance provided by religion with a daily life that speaks and is connotedby different languages and behaviours an objective of the Muslim? The articlehas an exploratory perspective and investigates in depth representations andpractices of the Muslim community in Turin, with a field research conductedthrough semi-structured interviews and focus groups and dialoguing with otherqualitative researches on the same subject. The study is framed in the analysisof the diffusion of Islamic finance, reported at the beginning of the article, fromwhich emerges a logic directed to the differentiation of investments for the riskmanagement on international financial markets, rather than a logic directed tooffer services for the support of social integration of the communities.
