Re: [Spaceships] Islamic Banking and Financing Spaceships Purchases
That sounds like MESAN brand Coffee in Honor Harrington.

This is not quite the same as what you are getting at, but it is interesting enough to notice. For the financing of spaceships most clans organize their properties like Israeli Moshavrim. Personal properties are owned personally and starships are usually corporate, unless someone is a really humongous Taipan. Despite this banking is a normal part of life and clans that have amassed a given amount in shipping often switch to banking and charter off their tonnage. Clans in this stage often get involved in politics more as well.

And both systems may well be described by saying "It's not possible to lend money at interest." The trick is to know what that means in practice.

One possibility is that the receiver does some kind of favor(such as burying the lender's assassinated son) that the Mullah can't track.
