Islamic Insurance in the European Countries: Insights from French Muslims’ Perspective
Authors: ,
Abstract: The main purpose of the study is to investigate the willingness of the French Muslims to adopt Islamic insurance (takaful), as well as the factors that may influence their decision. Accordingly, 100 questionnaires were distributed to French Muslims in several cities. The data was analysed using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) as well as one sample t-test. The findings indicate that subjective norm has a positive influence on the attitude towards Islamic insurance services. Furthermore, attitude and perceived behavioural control were found to have a positive influence on the intention to adopt these services. Finally, the French Muslims have shown willingness to adopt takaful services as an alternative to the existing conventional insurance services depending on the above dimensions.
