The current research was carried out with the aim of designing and validating the dimensions and components of the executive requirements of Islamic wisdom financing. In this research, a mixed exploratory approach was used, so that the qualitative method played an exploratory role and the quantitative method played a confirmatory role. Also, in the qualitative stage, the theme analysis method (Clark, 2006) and in the quantitative stage, modeling of structural equations using Smart PLS software has been used. The experts of this research are 25 people in the qualitative part and 60 people in the quantitative part from the experts and managers of the credit department and professors of the university by snowball sampling method.
