STANDARDIZATION OF SHARIAH OPINIONS


STANDARDISATION OF SHARIAH OPINIONS/LAW IN ISLAMIC FINANCE: WHAT ARE THE ISSUES?
We often hear people involved in Islamic finance talk (in seminars and conferences) about the need to standardize shariah laws/opinions related to the practice as they claim that without such a move the sector cannot grow. They say that the impediment to the so called growth lies with the conflicting views coming from jurists of Islamic law. But the same persons when confronted with facts about the conflicting and multiplicity of the legal systems of the world and the various judicial decisions made in various jurisdictions that are also appealable at various stages of trials in civil or conventional courts, they don’t dare to say even a word about it.
