  • Qard-Al-Hassan As a Tool for Poverty Alleviation: a Case Study of the Fael Khair Waqf Program in Bangladesh
    Journal of Islamic Monetary Economics and Finance, Vol. 5, No.4 (2019), pp. 829-848 p-ISSN: 2460-6146, e-ISSN: 2460-6618 QARD-AL-HASSAN AS A TOOL FOR POVERTY ALLEVIATION: A CASE STUDY OF THE FAEL KHAIR WAQF PROGRAM IN BANGLADESH Farah Muneer1 and Foyasal Khan2 1 Institute for Inclusive Finance and Development (InM), Bangladesh, [email protected] 2 Department of Economics, International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM), Malaysia, [email protected] ABSTRACT The central focus of the Islamic economic system is on socioeconomic justice and the overall welfare of society, especially at the bottom of the pyramid segment. Qard-al- Hassan, alongside zakat and sadaqah, is one of the instruments for the redistribution of income and wealth from the rich to the poor in Islam. In 2007, Bangladesh was struck by super cyclone SIDR, leaving 3,406 people dead. Moreover, SIDR caused unprecedented damage to homes, crops and livelihoods. The Fael Khair Waqf (FKW) Program came as a response to the urgent need to assist the victims of the cyclone and initiated an interest-free micro-loan (Qard-al-Hassan) scheme to restore the livelihoods of a large segment of the victims and to lift them out of poverty. While investigating the effectiveness of Qard-al-Hassan in poverty reduction, this paper also examines the FKW program as a case study. Analysis was conducted of 1600 households using an independent sample t-test and logistic regression to investigate to what extent the program has been effective in reducing poverty. The findings of the logistic analysis are that the probability of being poor for FKW participants is around 1.46 times lower than for non-participants.

  • Marriage Treasure Ownership in Arabic and Nusantara Fiqh Perspectives
    ADDIN, Volume 12, Number 2, Agustus 2018 MARRIAGE TREASURE OWNERSHIP IN ARABIC AND NUSANTARA FIQH PERSPECTIVES Nur Khoirin YD UIN Walisongo Semarang, Central Java, Indonesia Abstract One of the problems that often arise after the divorce is the ownership of assets acquired during marriage, whether it belongs to the husband, wife, or both of them. According to the Compilation of Islamic Law or the fiqh of the results of ijtihad fuqaha Nusantara, the assets obtained in marriage, except those obtained through inheritance or grants from parents/family, are joint property of husband and wife (gono gini). One party may not use it except getting agreement from the other parties. And if marriage breaks, either because of divorce or death, then it must be divided into two. In the books of Arabic Fiqh, there is no joint property because marriage does not cause a mixture of wealth. 1onetheless, in the EooNs of fiTh provides the possession of wife>s assets, such as dowry, livelihood, mut>ah, iwadl and tirkah. If the provision of fiqh is carried out consistently, then when a divorce occurs, the husband must leave the house, because all the property has become the property of his wife through a way of life. But this is certainly not fair. Therefore the determination of the existence of joint property in marriage is a moderate opinion and a benefit. Keywords: 2wnership, 3roperty, 0arriage, AraEic FiTh, 1usantara FiTh. 555 Nur Khoirin YD A. Introduction The status of marital property ownership is an issue that still needs more in-depth study. There is confusion between the Arabic Fiqh1 and Nusantara Fiqh 2 about it.

  • Qard Hasan, Credit Cards and Islamic Financial Product Structuring: Some Qur'anic and Practical Considerations
    Journal of Islamic Financial Studies ISSN (2469-259X) J. Islam. Fin. Stud. 1, No.1 (Dec-2015) Qard Hasan, Credit Cards and Islamic Financial Product Structuring: Some Qur’anic and Practical Considerations Mohammad Omar Farooq1 and Nedal El Ghattis2 1University of Bahrain, Department of Economics and Finance, Kingdom of Bahrain 2Bahrain Polytechnic, Faculty of Business, Kingdom of Bahrain Received 04 Oct. 2015, Accepted 19 Nov. 2015, Published 1 Dec. 2015 Abstract: For all practical purpose, qard and qard hasan are generally regarded synonymous from orthodox Islamic viewpoint, because, due to the categorical prohibition of riba in the Qur’an, qard (loan) is considered ribawi (subject to the rules pertaining to riba prohibition), and therefore only gratuitous monetary loans – without any benefit to the lender - are considered permissible. The concept of qard hasan has gained new relevance and importance as it is being used to structure Islamic financial products, such as demand deposit products in banks and credit cards. Using qard hasan as the basis for such products leads to some serious anomalies. But more importantly, is the traditional understanding of qard hasan consistent with the Qur’an as well as hadith? What scriptural evidences are there to support the traditional understanding? Also, in light of the impact of credit cards on personal financial health, is the concept ofqard hasan at all compatible with credit cards, and thus, structuring Islamic credit cards? In this paper, we focus on how the Qur’an illuminates this concept of qard hasan and also how it is treated in hadith. While evidence from hadith is looked at, the primary purpose of this paper is to examine the Qur’anic approach to this concept and practical implications for Islamic product structuring.

  • An Islamic Perspective on Humanitarian Principles Lucy V
    International Review of the Red Cross (2016), 97 (897/898), 345–370. Principles guiding humanitarian action doi:10.1017/S1816383115000600 Faith inspiration in a secular world: An Islamic perspective on humanitarian principles Lucy V. Salek* Lucy V. Salek is the Senior Policy Adviser on Conflict Transformation for Islamic Relief Worldwide, for whom she developed Working in Conflict: A Faith Based Toolkit for Islamic Relief1in 2014. Abstract In recent years, there has been more and more interaction and engagement between “faith-based” organizations (FBOs) and secular humanitarian organizations. While humanitarian organizations operate under the humanitarian principles of humanity, neutrality, impartiality and independence, it is often believed that faith-based organizations cannot be neutral or impartial due to their religious identity and agenda. Drawing on the research of Islamic Relief Worldwide, this article looks critically at connections that can be drawn between Islamic religious principles and those upheld as key to secular humanitarian action. The article outlines the Islamic maqasid al-Shari’ah framework as an example of how religious-based approaches can provide a basis for humanitarian action that is both relevant to Islamic communities and complementary to humanitarian principles. Keywords: Islam, humanitarian principles, Islamic Relief Worldwide, secular, religion, development, humanitarian assistance, faith-based organizations. * Previously known as Lucy V. Moore. This article was written in a personal capacity and does not necessarily reflect the views or position of Islamic Relief. The author thanks her colleagues at Islamic Relief for permission to draw on their work and the time they took to give valuable feedback. © icrc 2015 345 L. V. Salek At first glance, it would appear that Islamic actors had little to no involvement in the development of international humanitarian law (IHL) and the principles that guide humanitarian action (such as humanity, neutrality, impartiality and independence).

  • Analysis of Ta'awun Fund Model Best Practice from Indonesia
    IKONOMIKA: Jurnal Ekonomi dan Bisnis Islam Volume 3, No 2 (2018) ISSN : 2527-3434 (PRINT) - ISSN: 2527-5143 (ONLINE) Page : 139 - 166 Analysis Of Ta’awun Fund Model Best Practice From Indonesia Dindin Jaenudin1, Achmad Firdaus2, Farit M. Afendi3, Bayu Taufiq Possuma4 STEI Tazkia1,23, Universiti Malaysia Terengganu4 [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT The Muslim population of Indonesia in 2010 reached 207 million, while the number of poor people reached 27,76 million. On the other hand, Indonesia is prone to natural disaster. By 2015 there are 16,830 villages hit by floods, 3,827 villages experiencing earthquakes, and 7,861 villages experiencing landslides. It is important for Indonesian people to pool fundraising to help each other (ta'awun). One of the schemes is through the microtakaful program. The next issue is the inability of the poor Indonesian to pay a pooling fund.

  • Brief Introduction to Fasting
    Brief Introduction to Fasting What Is Ramadan? Ramadan is the 9th month of the Islamic calendar and the month in which the Qur’an was revealed. Ramadan is the month of worship, the month of helping the needy through charity and the month of compulsory fasting. Fasting Ramadan is one of the five pillars of Islam and became obligatory on Muslims during the 2nd year after the Hijrah [migration of the Prophet from Mecca to Madinah]. Therefore, the Prophet fasted nine Ramadans in his lifetime. The command to fast was revealed in the month of Sha’ban [the month immediately preceding Ramadan]. Sighting of the Moon It is a collective duty on the Muslims to make an effort to sight the moon of Ramadan on the 28th of Sha’ban. Muslims should depend on sighting the moon based on the naked-eye or astronomic calculation. The Prophet [pbuh] himself instructed, ‘Begin the fast on the sighting of the moon and break the fast likewise, but if the sky is cloudy [on the 29th of Sha’ban], then estimate it [by completing] 30 days of Sha’ban’ [Muslim]. Muslim scholars and scholars of astronomy agreed that astronomic calculation is a science that is based on observation of the position of the sun and the moon; a scientific basis, not on Tanjīm [astrology]. Muslim scholars also agree that sighting the moon with the naked-eye is the fundamental basic criteria and there is no need for astronomic calculation if the moon is seen clearly. If sighting with naked-eye is not certain or in conflict with calculation, then decision by means of sighting solely with the naked-eye will not be acceptable and calculation should be taken into consideration.
