The Savings and Internal Lending Communities (SILC) Field Agent (FA) Guide Sharia-compliant Version 5.0S is CRS's first widely circulated version of the guide based on a version of the SILC methodology that is fully compliant with the Sharia (Islamic Law). As such, it is suitable for programming with Muslim populations that previously were unwilling to participate in SILC groups, or did so against their religious values.

This guide is based on SILC FA Guide Version 5.0, released in 2019, which features ‘inclusive saturation’ methodologies that deliberately emphasize community-wide participation, using systematic approaches to work with all populations, while respecting the member self-selection principles and processes.
