Abstract
Purpose: This research aims to clarify the possibility for solving the problem of financing large institutions through a structured finance system, an alternative financing system to the existing traditional financing systems.

Findings: One of the prominent findings in this research is that structured finance is a tool that provides borrowers with an incentive to invest. Another feature of structured finance is that it contains elements of all financing contracts and complies with elements of Islamic jurisprudence, such as loans, mortgages, and guarantees.
Originality: This study underscores that due to the spread of economic and financial globalization, large institutions are in need of financing for investment and wealth. We clarify the relevant methods and rulings on their use, identifying solutions for structured finance while discussing their characteristics diverse applications in Islamic jurisprudence. The study was conducted from an Islamic jurisprudence perspective because the topic concerns peoples' lives in general and economic activity in particular, merging tradition with modernity.
