Islamic finance in Europe (5)

Continuation
SUMMARY
The third principle is the prohibition of:
§  uncertainty;
§  or speculation.
However, risk-taking is allowed when all terms and conditions are clearly:
§  stipulated;
§  and known
to all parties.
The fourth principle demands the use of asset-backing.
Each financial transaction must relate to:
§  a tangible;
§  and/or identifiable
underlying asset.
This ensures that Islamic banks remain connected to the real economy.
From the research paper of European Central Bank
