Unfortunately, heretofore, none of the professionalliterature has examined the risks and problems associated with Shariah-compliant finance in any analytical or critical fashion.
The extant legal academic and professionalliterature reads more like promotional material and not serious legal analysis conducted by men and women trained to protect clients from their own blind enthusiasm.
Some of the professionalliterature does grudgingly recognize that SCF lacks the certainty, consistency, predictability and transparency necessary to allow the legal and other professionals to treat it as one would any other secular business transaction.
