Fiqh-based method has two stages: jurisprudential analysis of an issue (it may be called jurisprudentialization) and establishment of a jurisprudential entity or institution; therefore the conformity with Fiqh is established as a criterion for Islamic banking. Mousavian maintained that, at the jurisprudential analysis stage, financial institutions are evaluated and reconstructed on the basis of Islamic jurisprudence through an approach based on the [[presumption of validity]]. According to Mousavian, at the establishment stage, a new model based on Shia jurisprudence is presented or reproduced for financial institutions and instruments that have no precedent in conventional economics.<ref>Mirmoezzi and Ghafouri, “The Development of Professor Mousavian’s Scientific Method from the Fiqh-based Method to the Islam-Centered Method,” pp. 48-55.</ref>

~~Rather than restricting itself to jurisprudence, the~~ Islam-centered method uses all Islamic ~~data—including ethical rulings~~, jurisprudence, divine traditions, and the objectives and principles of ~~Islam—in constructing the economic system~~. Ghafouri and Mirmoezzi, researchers in jurisprudence, state that a study of Mousavian’s works ~~demonstrates~~ that~~, in some of them,~~ he considered ethical principles or divine traditions ~~when~~ constructing an economic system. They ~~identify~~ the ~~“article Religion~~ and Economics” and the ~~“book General Principles of~~ the Islamic Economic System” ~~as among Mousavian’s works in~~ this ~~field~~.<ref>Mirmoezzi and Ghafouri, “The Development of Professor Mousavian’s Scientific Method from the Jurisprudence-Centered Method to the Islam-Centered Method,” p. 58.</ref>

Islam-centered method uses all Islamic sources instead of being content with Fiqh alone; the Islamic sources includ moral judgments, jurisprudence, divine traditions, and the objectives and principles of Islam. Ghafouri and Mirmoezzi, researchers in Islamic jurisprudence, state that a study of Mousavian’s works shows that he considered ethical principles or divine traditions in constructing an economic system. They cited the article “Religion and Economics” and the article “Introduction the Islamic Economic System” for this calim.<ref>Mirmoezzi and Ghafouri, “The Development of Professor Mousavian’s Scientific Method from the Jurisprudence-Centered Method to the Islam-Centered Method,” p. 58.</ref>

According to these researchers, in this method Mousavian, as in the jurisprudence-centered method, proceeded through two stages in economics: Islamization and Islamic establishment. Islamization means examining and reconstructing the conventional economic model on the basis of all Islamic data, including ethical rulings, jurisprudence, divine traditions, and the objectives and principles of Islam. The Islamic establishment method likewise means presenting a new economic model based on these criteria.<ref>Mirmoezzi and Ghafouri, “The Development of Professor Mousavian’s Scientific Method from the Jurisprudence-Centered Method to the Islam-Centered Method,” p. 59.</ref>
