This document discusses Shariah non-compliance risk in Islamic finance. It begins by defining Shariah non-compliance risk as the risk arising from a failure of Islamic banks to comply with Shariah rules and principles as determined by their Shariah boards. This can result in contracts being cancelled and income not being recognized. The document then outlines various measures that can be taken to manage this risk, such as ensuring contracts are structured to fulfill the pillars of a valid Islamic contract. Several examples of potential Shariah non-compliance in contracts like tawarruq, mudharabah and istisna' are also provided.
This article will describe about an overview of derivatives in Islamic Finance. Derivative is a "claim on a claim" the value of the derivative will depend on the value of the asset (stocks, bonds, etc) on which it has a claim.

Financial Assets: Debit vs Equity Securities.pptxWrito-Finance
financial assets represent claim for future benefit or cash. Financial assets are formed by establishing contracts between participants. These financial assets are used for collection of huge amounts of money for business purposes.
Two major Types: Debt Securities and Equity Securities.
Debt Securities are Also known as fixed-income securities or instruments. The type of assets is formed by establishing contracts between investor and issuer of the asset.
• The first type of Debit securities is BONDS. Bonds are issued by corporations and government (both local and national government).
• The second important type of Debit security is NOTES. Apart from similarities associated with notes and bonds, notes have shorter term maturity.
• The 3rd important type of Debit security is TRESURY BILLS. These securities have short-term ranging from three months, six months, and one year. Issuer of such securities are governments.
• Above discussed debit securities are mostly issued by governments and corporations. CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSITS CDs are issued by Banks and Financial Institutions. Risk factor associated with CDs gets reduced when issued by reputable institutions or Banks.
Following are the risk attached with debt securities: Credit risk, interest rate risk and currency risk
There are no fixed maturity dates in such securities, and asset’s value is determined by company’s performance. There are two major types of equity securities: common stock and preferred stock.
Common Stock: These are simple equity securities and bear no complexities which the preferred stock bears. Holders of such securities or instrument have the voting rights when it comes to select the company’s board of director or the business decisions to be made.
Preferred Stock: Preferred stocks are sometime referred to as hybrid securities, because it contains elements of both debit security and equity security. Preferred stock confers ownership rights to security holder that is why it is equity instrument
<a href="https://www.writofinance.com/equity-securities-features-types-risk/" >Equity securities </a> as a whole is used for capital funding for companies. Companies have multiple expenses to cover. Potential growth of company is required in competitive market. So, these securities are used for capital generation, and then uses it for company’s growth.
Concluding remarks
Both are employed in business. Businesses are often established through debit securities, then what is the need for equity securities. Companies have to cover multiple expenses and expansion of business. They can also use equity instruments for repayment of debits. So, there are multiple uses for securities. As an investor, you need tools for analysis. Investment decisions are made by carefully analyzing the market. For better analysis of the stock market, investors often employ financial analysis of companies.

What Is Shariah Non-compliance
Risk?
Measures To Manage Shariah Non-
Compliance Risk
Shariah Non-Compliances Risk
Profile for Certain Shariah Contract
Examples Of Shariah Non-
compliance Events
Learning Outcome
• To clarify Shariah non-compliance risk
in Islamic finance
• To expose the rules and principle of
shariah that required in Islamic finance
• To show the examples of Shariah non-
compliance events in islamic finance
2
3. Introduction
There are various opinions and interpretations in the
discussion of Shariah non-compliance risk (SNCR).
The element of subjectivity is unavoidable, some Shariah
advisers may consider a particular activity as being shariah
non-compliant, while others might take a different view.
So, we refer to shariah standards that were accepted as
international standards by the Accounting and Auditing
Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI).
3
4. What Is Shariah Non-Compliance Risk?
The Islamic Financial Service Board (IFSB) defines the SNCR
as the risk arising from Islamic banks’ failure to comply
with the Shariah rules and principles determined by the
Shariah board or the relevant body in the jurisdiction in
which the Islamic finance operates.
The failure to comply with such principles will result in the
transaction being cancelled, and hence the income cannot
be recognised.
4
5. Shariah compliance is a consistent process which should be
maintained at all times, and such compliance requirements
must permeate throughout the Islamic finance’s
organisation, products and activities.
5
6. SNC Risk Measurement
SNC Risk can be divided into three (3) types
Severe
SNC events lead to invalidation of contracts and non recognition of
income
Medium
Defective contract that hinders enforceability
Tolerable
Events that do not lead to consequences mentioned under high &
medium type of risk
6
7. Shariah Non-Compliance Risk in Islamic Banks
Islamic banks are exposed to risk relating to Shariah non-
compliance risks and also to reputational risk.
These risk exposes Islamic banks to fund providers’ withdrawals,
loss of income or voiding contracts leading to a diminished
reputation or the limitation of business opportunities.
Islamic banks shall at all times comply with the Shariah rules
and principles as determined by the shariah board with respect
to products, activities and contract documentation.
Islamic banks shall undertake a Shariah compliance review.
Islamic banks shall keep track of income not recognized arising
out of Shariah non-compliance.
7
8. The Condition of Pillars in Contract
The contracting parties (Buyer & Seller)
possess legal capacity (ahliyyah)
Must have legal authority (wilayah) to execute the contract
For example has sound mind, an adult, rational and able to be held
accountable
The subject matter (ma’qud ‘alaih)
should be in the form of a valuable asset
according to the Sharīʻah
free from uncertainty (gharar), known by both parties,
recognised by the Sharīʻah, and
in existence during the contract’s session.
Offer and acceptance
must be clear and understandable, consistent and continuous.
8
9. In addition, the contract should be free from prohibitive
elements such as,
riba
duress (ikrah)
mistake (ghalaṭ)
inequality (ghubn)
deception (taghrir)
illegal goods or illegal assets.
Failure to satisfy the essential elements of a contract and the
necessary requirements renders the contract invalid
Hence the risk of Sharīʻah non-compliance will arise.
9
10. Measures To Manage Shariah Non-Compliance Risk
Aqad based
Maqasid shariah
Financial reporting
Legal documentation clearly stating elements of riba-free or shariah compliant
10
11. Measures To Manage Shariah Non-Compliance Risk
Aqad based
Fulfil aqad for each transaction; agents of contract (‘aqidani)
objectives of contract, subject matter (ma’qud ‘alaih) and offer
and acceptance (sighah).
Maqasid shariah
a transaction must produce more benefits than harm to the
society.
For instance, BBA has become not acceptable due to several
intolerable issues which considered harmful;
In abandoned housing project, the bank is the seller. However, the buyer
does not have any recourse to the bank, thus need to continue instalments
When customer first sells the house to the bank, it does not own the
property because he only pays a portion. This actually has violated the
aqad.
11
12. Measures To Manage Shariah Non-Compliance
Risk
Financial reporting
IFI activities should be reflected in their financial reporting
The aqad performed should be properly recorded in financial
documents
E.g. in Murabahah transaction, the relevant inventories should be
reflected in financial reporting before sales to third parties
12
13. Measures To Manage Shariah Non-Compliance Risk
Legal documentation clearly stating elements of riba-free or
shariah compliant
Islamic banking cases have been published in various law reports, also
been quoted and reported e.g. BBA financing
1st phase: 1994-2002-- jurisdictions favour Islamic banks
e.g. the case of BBA facility of BIMB vs. Adnan Omar, the court ruled on the basis
that contracting parties are bound to terms & condition of contracts, overlooked
on the issue of non-shariah elements in BBA.
2nd phase: 2003-2007 – jurisdictions examine underlying principles of
offered facility
e.g. earlier jurisdiction is criticised for applying classic common law approach
whereas Islamic banking is different. Critical examination of contracts is presented
from both legal and shariah aspects.
3rd phase: 2008 onwards –
Issue: Defendants were asked to pay full amount of selling price in case of default.
The court ordered the plaintiffs to seek price closest to the market price and o
return original facility they had extended

The tawarruq arrangement is used to grant financing facilities to individual or non-individual
entities whose activities explicitly involve Shariah non-compliant elements, such as riba-
based transactions, liquor production, gambling and brothels.
While using the bank’s name, the bank’s staff are engaged in Sharīʻah noncompliant activities
with clients.

21. Some Impact of Shari’ah Non-Compliance Risk
Slowdown of global Sukuk issuance.
By the end of 2008, global Sukuk issuance had declined by
more than 50% compared to 2007.
Chairman of the AAOIFI Shari’ah board- criticized a common
form of sukuk that apparently violates the Sharia-compliant
principles surrounding risk and profit-sharing. He estimated
that up to 85% of Gulf Sukuk structures were not Shari’ah-
compliant.
AAOIFI made a recommendation to Islamic finance market
participants to refrain from issuing Sukuk structures that have a
purchase undertaking or guarantee from the Sukuk issuer to
repurchase at a future date at a specific price.
