Straightway Ethical Class on Seekers Guidance

Saturday, 6 August 2011 18:16 by Ammaar
Straightway Ethical Advisory and SeekersGuidance have come together in a collaborative effort to present a new course entitled, "Shari‘a Compliant Finance for Professionals" taught by Shaykh Taha Abdul-Basser.  
 
In sha'Allah, in this short course, students will review select precepts (mabadi`), principles (qawa‘id), and ethico-legal norms (ahkam) from the Islamic financial ethico-legal tradition (fiqh al-mu‘amalat) that are relevant to modern financial applications. Topics to be covered include: usury (riba), prohibited transactions, contractual invalidators, shari‘a-compliant financing techniques, shari‘a-compliant investment techniques, and more. In many contemporary societies and settings, it has become a matter of religious obligation (wajib) for Muslim professionals to learn the difference between the halal and haram so as to not unknowingly fall into sin. It is for this reason that Straightway Ethical and SeekersGuidance have teamed up for this course.
