الملخص EN

This study aimed to highlight the contribution of Islamic crowdfunding platforms in bridging the financing gap for social entrepreneurship in Arab countries, as financing is considered the biggest obstacle to this sector compared to other obstacles, especially in light of the backwardness of the banking system in some countries and the lack of available financing alternatives, which made the financing gap expanding.

hence the importance of Islamic crowdfunding platforms as an appropriate financing alternative to bridge this gap, it provides a new category of assets that is more suitable for small investors, and provides access to a large number of financiers.

the results of the study are summarized as follows: -the social entrepreneurship sector in the Arab world is growing in activity and expanding in its projects.

however, this is not enough and requires further efforts to make this sector a priority.

-Islamic collective funding platforms are a mechanism to help social entrepreneurs mobilize their financial resources, consistent with their Islamic beliefs, convictions and orientations in the Arab region.

-Islamic crowdfunding in Arab countries needs more legalization, regulation, and infrastructure support.
