• Halal Investments: Investments must be made in permissible (halal) businesses. These businesses must not engage in activities considered harmful or forbidden (haram), such as gambling, alcohol, or pornography.
• Risk Sharing: Sharia promotes business transactions based on risk-sharing rather than debt or guaranteed returns. This can include models like Mudarabah (profit-sharing) and Musharakah (joint venture partnerships).
• Avoidance of Gharar (Excessive Uncertainty): Transactions involving excessive uncertainty or ambiguity, such as speculative trading, are prohibited under Sharia. Financial contracts must be clear and transparent to avoid deceit or unfair advantage.
• Zakat (Charity): Muslims are required to pay a portion of their wealth (usually 2.5%) as charity, known as Zakat. Accountants may help individuals and businesses calculate and pay Zakat.
• Islamic Finance Products: Sharia-compliant financial products, such as Islamic bonds (Sukuk), Islamic insurance (Takaful), and interest-free loans, are structured to align with Islamic law. These products avoid interest and are designed with profit-sharing or asset-backed financing in mind.
• Ethical Conduct: Business practices under Sharia emphasize honesty, transparency, and fairness. Exploitative or unethical business practices are forbidden.
