What are Shariah compliant services?
A growing number of non-Muslim individuals and businesses are seeking Shariah compliant services due to the high ethical standards of this investment and management approach.
To remain Shariah compliant, individuals and businesses are prohibited from undertaking certain financial activities that are not deemed to mirror the Shariah law principles. These prohibited activities include the collection of specific interest or fees for monetary loans, as well as investments in businesses that provide goods or services deemed inconsistent with Islamic principles or values. Investments may not be made in businesses that operate outside of a stipulated debt-to-equity ratio, ensuring investment only in stable operators.
