Lex Islamicus hears from Hakimah Yaacob and Edib Smolo, both from the International Shari’ah Research Academy (ISRA), as they dissect the approach taken by Enlgish courts towards Islamic finance contracts. Furthermore, the Kulliyyah Korner hears from Ezry Fahmy, Jhordy Kashoogie and Asim Anwar Kamal who co-authored a study on the relationship between Shariah compliant structures and the Maqasid al-Shari'ah.
As part of our ongoing survey (The Islamic Window) Joy Abdullah delves into the perception of Islamic finance, particularly from outside of the industry. This is complemented in the Industry Snapshot by Deloitte's David Vicary who provides his views on the importance of education and financial literacy. Our Opinion Column shares the views of Nihad Awad from CAIR, on a topic that might not appear to be related to Islamic finance at the outset, although we argue the industry has an opportunity to contribute here in a positive way.
