Shariah

Three principle rules need to be adhered to when analyzing a Shariah permissible investment:

  1. The first is the absence of interest (riba) in the investment.
  2. The second is the potential for ‘unethical concerns’ such as gambling or tobacco in the investment mix.
  3. The final area relates to the nature of the contract between the parties involved. Could substantial omissions exist that could result in a dispute between the parties?

BMG has been endorsed by the Islamic Financial Advisory Board (IFAB) as a Shariah-compliant investment as of January 25, 2010. To learn more about the IFAB and its scholars, please do so by going to www.islamicfinanceboard.com.
