The Central Bank of the UAE, in collaboration with the UAE Sharia Committee, has launched a specialized training program aimed at equipping Islamic legal scholars with the necessary skills in Islamic financial transactions.
The program features a series of intensive training sessions that focus on key topics related to Islamic finance and economics, reinforcing the partnership between federal institutions.
Its primary objective is to familiarize participants with the nature of Islamic banking activities and financial transactions in the country, the latest developments in Islamic financial dealings, and the regulation of contracts along with their issuance processes. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of financial legislation, laws, and operational financial systems.
The program also aims to empower legal scholars to issue well-founded rulings that can adapt to the needs of the contemporary financial landscape while supporting the national economy.
Furthermore, it contributes to enhancing participants’ understanding of the laws, concepts, and financial practices established in the UAE, particularly concerning Islamic financial transactions. This will ensure the preparation and issuance of rulings that are rooted in the realities of Islamic financial systems.
Additionally, the program allows council members to engage with experts from the Sharia Secretariat at the Central Bank, facilitating discussions on the issues and transactions that have recently evolved in the country.
This initiative aligns with the UAE Sharia Committee’s commitment to enhancing the expertise of its members and developing fatwa tools that keep pace with the changes in the financial sector, contributing to sustainable economic development efforts.
