While they share aspects such as materialism, avoidance of materialism and support for sustainable consumption, the contrast lies in the fact that Islamic consumption is rooted in faith and devotion to Allah SWT. Unlike the primarily individual-focused and worldly orientation of frugal concepts, Islamic consumption is motivated by a commitment to individual desire and social balance, also well-being in both the present and the hereafter. Islamic consumption places an unique emphasis on social solidarity, a feature absent in the individualistic long-term goals of a frugal lifestyle. Practical implications This study offers a valuable contribution to marketers, particularly those who are engaged in the Islamic marketing field. Marketers are keen on understanding frugal consumers as a potential emerging market segment. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is considered the first attempt to link the idea of frugality with the Islamic ethical principles of consumption. It highlights how Muslims should comprehend the concept of frugality accurately, avoiding misinterpretations that portray it solely as a means to combat materialism and consumerism, as has been commonly understood.

Positionality, inter-subjectivity and reflexivity in Muslim minority research

Drawing substantially on epistemologies developed in the context of vulnerable populations and responding to calls for greater epistemic justice in marketing research, an intersectional framework involving positionality, partiality, reflexivity, and situated knowledges is proposed to reflect on undertaking market research with Muslim minority populations in non-Muslim majority countries. This population is often highly vulnerable due to stigmatisation, Islamophobia and processes of othering that affect Muslim consumer behaviour, practices and identity. The framework is derived from reflexive experiences of market research undertaken by the authors on and with Islamic consumers both on an individual and collective basis and from relevant literature. The framework highlights the relational nature of the research experience and the situatedness and positionality of both the researcher and researched. In the case of research with Muslim populations we also draw out the significance of religious identity, ideology and religiosity; intersectionalities, including gender; and religious and cultural power as framed by cultural and institutional practices and which affect notions of class and attitudes to the other. We propose an approach that helps overcome Muslim/non-Muslim binaries that flatten the lived notions of the Muslim experience and consumption practices and instead provide for a richer and more representative account of Muslim identity. However, this approach also heightens researcher sensitivity to the situatedness of Muslims within social norms and the implications that this has for anonymity.
