A practical guide for robust "sharī'ah" governance of the Islamic banking industry

Debate in the market on the extent of "sharī'ah" compliance of Islamic banks, their products, and activities has piqued stakeholders' interest. In "Foundations of Sharī'ah Governance of Islamic Banks," Karim Ginena and Azhar Hamid explore the depths of "sharī'ah" governance to unravel its mysterious dimensions, and equip academics and practitioners with a solid understanding of the subject, which has become a serious challenge and thus deserves dedicated attention.

The authors make a strong case for the need to contain the "sharī'ah" risk that Islamic banks experience, and present a compelling argument for how this should be done. Ginena and Hamid propose a robust "sharī'ah" governance model that comprehensively tackles thisrisk, and helps improve the extent of "sharī'ah" compliance of market players. The authors detail the internal, external, and institutional arrangements needed to promote responsible "sharī'ah" governance, and critically analyze current laws, regulations, and industry practices on the topic. The chapters of the book do the following: Examine the roots, characteristics and objectives of "sharī'ah" and its relation to financial dealings; Probe the role of regulators in "sharī'ah" governance, explore the different approaches adopted by banking supervisors, and provide examples of relevant legal and regulatory measures; Explain to bank directors and management the fiduciary duty they assume with respect to "sharī'ah" compliance, and detail how they could discharge this responsibility in line with best practices; Elaborate on the purpose of the "Sharī'ah" Supervisory Board (SSB), its responsibilities, competence criteria, internal regulations, and key governance guidelines; additionally, they explore different SSB models; Describe the internal "sharī'ah" control system including its six components, and examine the internal "sharī'ah" audit function as well as different stages of conducting a "sharī'ah" audit; Clarify the role of a "sharī'ah" auditor, with guidance on reporting lines, scope of duties, authority, and practical ways on fulfilling tasks, such as a sample "sharī'ah" risk assessment grid and audit checklists; Discuss the newly emerging external "sharī'ah" advisory firms that are expected to play a key role in the coming years and the services they provide.

Through an effective treatment of each of these elements, and the way that they interact with one another, the book offers a fresh take on how robust "sharī'ah" governance of Islamic banks can be successfully accomplished. It is a comprehensive resource for academics, regulators, directors, lawyers, auditors, consultants, employees, and customers of Islamic banks interested in learning more about these challenges. This essential reading persuasively extends the discourse on the subject and addresses critical "sharī'ah" issues that have policy implications for decision makers in jurisdictions aiming to attract the fast-growing Islamic finance industry or increase their market share.
