For this purpose, in the first part of the study, after the conceptual framework has been revealed, in the second part, the practices of qard al-hasan in the world and Turkey will be mentioned, and in the third part, the findings that emerged as a result of the interviews with three different unofficial qard al-hasan ballot boxes will be included. The problems they encounter and the solutions for them will be discussed. Thus, in this study, theory and practice will be tried to be put forward togethe
