Q & A

What is the main purpose of a Shariah-compliant bank?

A Shariah-compliant bank functions as an intermediary, connecting individuals with surplus funds to those in need of capital, while ensuring all operations and financial products adhere to Islamic principles, avoiding elements like gharar (uncertainty), riba (interest), and maysir (gambling).

What are the key principles that guide a Shariah-compliant bank?

The key principles include fairness (keadilan), partnership (kemitraan), tranquility (ketentraman), transparency (keterbukaan), and universality (universalitas), which distinguish Islamic banks from conventional ones.

How does the principle of fairness (keadilan) manifest in Shariah banking?

Fairness is demonstrated through profit-sharing agreements such as mudarabah (profit-sharing) and mutually agreed-upon margins, ensuring both the bank and the client share profits and risks equitably.

What does the principle of partnership (kemitraan) in Shariah banking mean?

Partnership means that the relationship between the bank and its clients is based on a business partnership, not on a debtor-creditor relationship. Both parties share profits, risks, and responsibilities equally.

How is the principle of tranquility (ketentraman) ensured in Islamic banking?

Tranquility is achieved by ensuring that all financial products and transactions comply with Islamic law, especially avoiding interest (riba) and ensuring the transactions are ethically sound and free of exploitative practices.

Why is transparency (keterbukaan) important in Shariah banking?

Transparency ensures that financial transactions, including the bank's financial reporting, are clear and accessible to clients. This builds trust and allows customers to assess the safety of their deposits and the quality of the bank’s management.

What does universality (universalitas) mean in the context of Shariah banking?

Universality means that Shariah-compliant banks operate without discrimination based on ethnicity, race, religion, or social class, following the Islamic principle of rahmatan lil’alamin (mercy for all of creation).

What are the main types of contracts used in Shariah banking?

The main types of contracts include wadiah (safekeeping), mudharabah (profit-sharing), musyarakah (joint venture), murabahah (cost-plus sale), istishna (manufacturing contract), salam (advance payment sale), and ijarah (leasing), among others.

What is the difference between wadiah Yad Amanah and wadiah Yad Dhamanah?

Wadiah Yad Amanah refers to safekeeping where the bank cannot use the deposit for its own benefit, while wadiah Yad Dhamanah allows the bank to utilize the deposit, such as in savings accounts or giro accounts.

How does profit-sharing work in mudarabah and musyarakah contracts?

In a mudarabah contract, the bank manages the funds of the investor (the client) and shares the profits according to a pre-agreed ratio, while in musyarakah, both the bank and the client contribute capital and share the profits and risks of the venture equally.

What is the role of a Shariah Supervisory Board in a Shariah-compliant bank?

A Shariah Supervisory Board ensures that all products, services, and transactions offered by the bank comply with Islamic law. They review contracts, transactions, and financial products to make sure they align with Shariah principles.
