Syariah Advisory Council

The Syariah Advisory Council is a group of Islamic scholars and experts who provide guidance on ensuring that financial products, services, and practices comply with Shariah law. Their role is to review and certify that banking and investment activities do not involve pharms like interest (riba) or unethical elements, aligning operations with Islamic principles. This approval helps Muslims trust that their financial dealings are religiously permissible, fostering ethical finance practices within Islamic banking institutions. The council's oversight ensures transparency, integrity, and adherence to religious standards in financial services.
