Improving the efficiency and performance of microfinance investments is essential to achieve its objectives in terms of economic and social development. One parameter that influences such a performance is the kind of the activity exercised by the micro-entrepreneurs. The aim of this paper is to provide a decision-making guide to help both microfinance institutions and investors to choose the appropriate Islamic banking contract with respect to each sector of activity. To attain this goal, an Intuitionistic Fuzzy TOPSIS evaluation is conducted in collaboration with Moroccan Islamic finance experts and practitioners. The proposed approach has the advantage to deal with the lack of quantitative historical data, as well as the uncertainty of the decision makers’ judgments. The suggested work will be helpful for the Moroccan participative banks and for the future Islamic microfinance institutions as well.
