The enactment of the Islamic Financial Services Act 2013 (IFSA 2013) marks an exceptional milestone in the development of the domestic Islamic financial industry. While the Act caters to all regulatory and supervisory aspects of the industry, this book aims to provide a succinct commentary on the provisions within the Islamic Banking parameters. As the nature of legislative demands change from a detailed and prescriptive approach to one which is principle-based, this book provides a perfect companion to assist readers in understanding and navigating the current legislative maze on Islamic Banking.
