TYPES AND METHODS OF INVESTMENT IN ISLAM – AN ANALYSIS.

Abstract

Due to chronic financial crises experienced during last several decades repeatedly and a failure to protect investors’ rights as a result, the world is looking for an alternative form of stock market for quite some time so that interests of all relevant stakeholders can be safeguarded. At the same time, from the perspectives of devout Muslims, the current form of stock market restricts a Muslim to make investments in the market due to unsatisfying several provisions from the Islamic law, known as shariah. This study provides the criteria under which conditions the Islamic shariah permits making investments in the stock market. Hand in hand with that primary discussion, it has been eluded briefly why the Islamic shariah principles offer a better alternative against conventional practices of the stock market. Design/methodology/approach: This is a descriptive study based on the literature review. Findings: This study explores the basic Islamic principles of investment in stock market by revisiting the norms laid down by shariah and current global practices of Islamic stock market and indexes. Originality/value: This study will work as a guideline for investors and market authorities to understand the original shariah rulings and the benchmark rulings for investment or establishing full-fledged Islamic stock markets, indexes, and mutual funds. … Key Words: Shariah, Capital market, Share market, Islamic stock exchange, Islamic banking, Zakat on share investment. ….(Reference: Alam, M.M., Akbar, C.S., Shahriar, S.M., and Elahi, M.M. 2017.
