Most Shari'ah findings in Islamic banks do not come from the product design but from how it is run day to day: a murabahah signed before the bank owned the goods, a tawarruq commodity that quietly returns to its first seller, or a major repair on a leased asset charged to the lessee. This advanced course shows how to close those gaps.

It covers three operational boundaries in depth: the line between the agency (wakalah) purchase and the execution of the murabahah sale, with the ownership and possession evidence that must sit between them; strict third-party independence in every leg of a tawarruq monetization stream; and precise maintenance-responsibility logs across ijarah portfolios, so that ownership costs stay with the lessor. It ends with an integrated testing, remediation and reporting programme.

The course has readings, practitioner case studies with worked logs, tests and calculations, slides, study notes and practice quizzes, and a final exam of 30 scenario-based questions in 60 minutes (70% to pass).

This course is written by ifSPACE in its own words, does not reproduce AAOIFI texts, is not affiliated with AAOIFI and is not a fatwa or legal advice.
