About Islamic Financial Institutions
Islamic financial institutions is the blanket term for all financial institutions that operate in line with
the Shari'ah. Generally, in order to be considered an Islamic financial institution, there must be a
Shari'ah board composed of more than one scholar qualified to issue a fatwa on the Shari'ah-
compliance of a financial product. There are conflicting statistics about the size and total number of
Islamic financial institutions globally, but the International Financial Services London, a financial
industry trade group in the U.K. estimates that as of the end of 2007, there are 280 Islamic financial
institutions globally with total assets of US$729 billion (IFSL Research, 2009: 2).
