  • Banks: Many banks in Muslim-majority countries operate on conventional interest-based systems. While Islamic banking models exist, they often use interest-based benchmarks as pricing references, leading to debates about their adherence to Sharia principles. PubMed Central

    Despite strict prohibitions, studies indicate high levels of online pornography consumption in several Muslim-majority countries. For instance, Pakistan has been reported to lead in searches for pornographic content. WikiIslam
