PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the determinants of Muslims' attitude and intention towards Murabaha financing by considering religiosity as a moderator.Design/methodology/approachThe data were collected through a survey of 373 Muslims in Afghanistan and were analysed using the partial least squares technique.FindingsThe results showed that social influence and religious obligation have a positive effect on attitude towards Murabaha financing. Furthermore, social influence and attitude have a positive effect on the intention to use Murabaha financing. Religiosity moderates negatively the impact of social influence on attitude towards Murabaha financing.Practical implicationsManagers and marketers of Islamic banks may benefit from the findings of this study, which provide insight into the factors that should be considered to promote Murabaha financing.Originality/valueThe findings contribute to the literature on Islamic financing products by demonstrating the drivers of attitude towards and intention to use Murabaha financing. The study also extends the literature by testing the moderating role of religiosity. Furthermore, the study extends the theory of reasoned action in the context of Islamic financing by introducing religious obligation as a potential driver of attitude and religiosity as a moderator.
