Islamic Business Ethics

This book discusses the Islamic finance trading framework. It compares and contrasts conventional trading frameworks with Sharia compliant trading frameworks, explores trading under Islamic commercial law, trading practices and financial transactions prohibited under Islamic law, and profit making in Islam. In addition, it addresses related issues in government interventions, market structure, and business ethics and will be of interest to academics, researchers, and students of Islamic finance and banking.
