Critic Reviews

“Thirteen papers apply the principles of Islamic economics to social finance, Asian business practices, and banking institutions. The contributors, most of whom are affiliated with the University of Malaya in Kuala Lumpur, assess whether household debt management complies with maslahah, the role of infaq in financing higher education, differing opinions on the validity of cash waaf, Islamic insurance products for women, and the Muslim community's understanding of family Takaful in southern Thailand.”
