{"product_id":"islamic-finance-craig-nethercott-9780198725237","title":"Islamic Finance: Law and Practice","description":"This book is the most comprehensive and authoritative practical guide to financial transactions under Islamic law. Global interest in \u003cem\u003eShari'a\u003c\/em\u003e-compliant financial practices continues to increase, but Islamic financial products can often be hard to understand, not least because they often cut across rather than strictly align with more conventional financial products. This book provides the necessary explanation by explaining the theoretical underpinnings of Islamic finance as a whole before going on to examine the major individual transaction structures in detail. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe first part of the book informs the reader about the general background to Islamic Finance and the relevant aspects (and sources) of Islamic law. It also considers the role of \u003cem\u003eShari'a\u003c\/em\u003e supervisory boards, Islamic financial institutions and accounting approaches. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe second part of the book concentrates on Islamic financial law in practice by focusing on individual concepts and techniques. This section explains the basic requirements for Islamic finance contracts both in terms of the underlying asset types and also both the applicability and acceptability of the underlying asset. Arrangements discussed include \u003cem\u003eMudaraba\u003c\/em\u003e (trustee finance), \u003cem\u003eMusharaka\u003c\/em\u003e (partnership or joint venture), \u003cem\u003eMurabaha\u003c\/em\u003e (sale of goods), and \u003cem\u003eSukuk\u003c\/em\u003e (participation securities: coupons etc). \u003cem\u003eTakaful\u003c\/em\u003e (insurance) is also examined in detail. A new chapter has also been added to this second part of the book detailing the principles of Islamic investment funds and commonly applied structures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Craig Nethercott\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 019872523X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198725237\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/12\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.80h x 7.10w x 1.20d","brand":"Craig Nethercott","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44119425810687,"sku":"9780198725237","price":280.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_70a024db-62a4-4e69-9648-c4bad50134d7.jpg?v=1687409278","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/islamic-finance-craig-nethercott-9780198725237","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
