Conceptual Study

Integrity in handling zakat funds is a highly sensitive matter to the community if it is not properly managed. The issue of negative perception towards the distribution of zakat in Malaysia is due to the lack of trust from the community toward the management of the agency managing the Zakat. This will therefore affect the collection as well as the distribution of zakat funds to the eight group of Asnaf. Therefore, it is necessary for the zakat agency to build up and create a good shariah governance framework to the needs of Islamic law as a benchmark in order to make sure all activities undertaken are on track. This conceptual study aims to implement Shariah Governance Framework to overcome the distrust of the community towards the management of Zakat agency since they do not have any standard of shariah governance framework, like other Islamic Financial Institutions in Malaysia. In conclusion, the proposed Shariah Governance Framework proposed in this study, will give an implication to restore the trust and positive perceptions among the public. Abstrak Ketulusan dalam mengendalikan dana umat Islam terutamanya zakat adalah suatu perkara yang sangat sensitif kepada masyarakat sekiranya tidak diurus dengan baik. Isu persepsi negatif masyarakat terhadap agihan zakat di Malaysia merupakan punca masalah kepada ketidakpercayaan masyarakat dalam pengurusan Agensi Mengurus Zakat. Ketidakpercayaan ini akan memberi kesan kepada kutipan zakat dan secara tidak langsung akan mempengaruhi dana agihan zakat untuk diagihkan kepada lapan (8) golongan asnaf yang layak. Oleh yang demikian, menjadi satu keperluan kepada Agensi Mengurus Zakat untuk mewujudkan satu kerangka kerja urus tadbir yang baik dan menepati kehendak syarak sebagai kayu ukur kepada segala aktiviti yang dilaksanakan berada di landasan yang betul. Kajian konseptual ini berhasrat untuk menerapkan satu kerangka kerja Tadbir Urus Shariah dalam Agensi Mengurus Zakat untuk mengatasi masalah ketidakpercayaan masyarakat terhadap pengurusan Agensi Mengurus Zakat. Tambahan pula Agensi Mengurus Zakat tidak mempunyai kerangka Tadbir Urus Shariah yang standard seperti mana Institusi Kewangan Islam yang lain di Malaysia. Oleh yang demikian, kerangka kerja tadbir urus shariah yang akan dicadangkan memberi implikasi untuk mengembalikan kepercayaan dan persepsi yang positif dikalangan masyarakat.

Shari`ah committee of every Islamic bank or other Islamic financial institutions has some specific duties. Likewise, this committee should follow some guidelines in making its decisions. Bank Nigara Malaysia (BNM) has prescribed these duties and decision-making guidelines in its Sharī‘ah Governance Framework (SGF). Using analytical and critical methods, this research paper aims to study these duties and decision-making guidelines. The duties of the Sharī‘ah  Committee set by BNM include the basic principle of advising, endorsing, supervising, assisting, consulting and reporting on Sharī‘ah  matters. Besides that, the decision-making guidelines for Sharī‘ah  Committee by BNM are well-structured and practical. This study contributes to the related literature by showing that the country’s support towards the Islamic finance sector, through BNM’s guidelines, may help the development of IFIs in the country.  The results drawn from this study may help policymakers to develop better duties and decision-making guidelines for Sharī‘ah Committees. This study is limited to the SGF issued by BNM in 2010 only. Keywords: Sharī‘ah Committee, Duties, Decision-making, Guidelines.

The problem of Islamic economics is also increasingly complex with the large number of banks. To meet the needs of transactions, banks have products that are offered to the public. In accordance with the function of the bank, namely collecting and distributing funds to the public. The purpose of channeling funds by Islamic banks is to support the implementation of development, improve justice, togetherness and equal distribution of people's welfare. This paper will answer what is the meaning of al-mashaqqah tajlib al-taysir and how do the Implications of al-mashaqqah tajlib al-taysir in the development of Islamic economy? The result of research shows that the meaning of the rule of al-mashaqqah tajlib al-taysir is the difficulty of bringing convenience. The point is that if implementing a provision of shara' mukallaf faces obstacles in the form of difficulties and limitations that exceed the limits of reasonable capabilities, then the difficulty automatically creates relief provisions. In other words, if we find difficulty in carrying out something that is to be sharia, then the difficulty becomes a justifiable cause to facilitate in carrying out something that is to be provision of sharia, so that we can continue to run the sharia of Allah easily. The implications raised by the rules of al-mashaqqah tajlib al-taysir are the determination of the law of Islamic financial institutions. This impact is seen when Islamic law allows transactions in Islamic banking financial institutions, so that the community will easily meet the needs by transacting with Islamic banking through contracts that have been agreed upon. Keywords: al-Mashaqqah Tajlib al-Taysir, Islamic Economic Development

Shariah Governance

This paper attempts to examine the absence of a Shariah Governance Framework (SGF) in Malaysian’s Government Linked Investment Companies (GLICs). A GLIC is essential for the Malaysian economy, while SGF is practiced by the Islamic Financial Institutions (IFIs) in Malaysia to ensure end-to-end Shariah compliant process in the business operation of the banks and takaful operators. When the GLIC aims to provide Shariah compliant returns to their investors (public), the move should be supported by all stakeholders as majority of the investors of the GLICs are Muslims, and thus the demand for a Shariah compliant dividend is expected. As for the IFIs in Malaysia, the Central Bank of Malaysia requires all IFIs to establish an SGF to ensure their activities comply with Shariah principles. The question arises whether this requirement should be practiced by the GLICs too. This paper examines the importance of SGF to be established by the GLICs. Since this study is focusing on the importance of SGF in GLICs, interviews and document analysis methods are used for data collection. Keywords: Government Linked Investment Companies, Shariah Governance Framework, Shariah Compliance, Islamic Finance. Abstrak Makalah ini cuba meneliti permasalahan mengenai ketiadaan Kerangka Tadbir Urus Syariah (Shariah Governance Framework atau SGF) di Syarikat Pelaburan Berkaitan Kerajaan (Government Link Investment Companies atau GLIC) di Malaysia. Syarikat Pelaburan Berkaitan Kerajaan adalah penting untuk ekonomi Malaysia, sementara Kerangka Tadbir Urus Syariah merupakan peraturan yang  dipraktikkan oleh Institusi Kewangan Islam (IKI) di Malaysia untuk memastikan proses patuh Syariah dipatuhi secara keseluruhan dalam setiap aspek operasi bank Islam dan pengendali takaful. Apabila Syarikat Pelaburan Berkaitan Kerajaan menjalankan perniagaan bertujuan untuk memberikan pulangan patuh Syariah kepada pelabur mereka, langkah tersebut harus disokong oleh semua pihak yang berkepentingan kerana majoriti pelabur Syarikat Pelaburan Berkaitan Kerajaan  adalah beragama Islam yang mengharapkan dividen yang patuh Syariah. Di Malaysia, Bank Negara Malaysia menghendaki semua IKI mengamalkan Tadbir Urus Syariah untuk memastikan aktiviti mereka mematuhi prinsip Syariah. Persoalan yang timbul adakah syarat ini juga harus dipraktikkan oleh Syarikat Pelaburan Berkaitan Kerajaan. Makalah ini mengkaji sama ada perlunya Kerangka Tadbir Urus Syariah ditubuhkan oleh Syarikat Pelaburan Berkaitan Kerajaan ini. Kajian ini akan memfokuskan pada keperluan Kerangka Tadbir Urus Syariah dalam Syarikat Pelaburan Berkaitan Kerajaan di mana kaedah temuduga dan analisis dokumen adalah kaedah yang digunakan untuk pengumpulan data. Kata Kunci: Syarikat Pelaburan Berkaitan Kerajaan, Kerangka Tadbir Urus Syariah, pematuhan Syariah, kewangan Islam.

The paper aims to examine the relevant provisions of the newly released BNM Shariah Governance Policy Document relating to the board of directors, Shariah Committee and senior management of the Islamic Financial Institutions (IFIs) in Malaysia. The study is qualitative-based research. It reviews two documents, i.e. BNM Shariah Governance Framework 2010, and BNM Shariah Governance policy 2019. It uses a content analysis approach to understand and compare the two frameworks from the perspective of the board, the Shariah Committee and senior management. The study finds that SGP 2019 enhanced features of the preceding SGF 2010 revolving around enhanced board oversight and roles over Shariah governance, strengthened Shariah Committee (SC) requirements in providing independent and sound advice to IFIs, as well as a greater expectation for the board and senior management in promoting Shariah compliance culture. This paper examines the areas which have been addressed by the new framework to improve several issues which have been highlighted during the implementation of the previous framework, SGF 2010.

Shariah Governance

Providing its services in accordance with the principles of Shariah and maintaining the trust of stakeholders is essential for the existence of Islamic financial institutions. Islamic banks should be run under an integrated and regulated standard system called Shariah Governance Framework (SGF) The SBP, AAOFI and IFSB have proposed separate governance frameworks, However, the framework issued by the SBP is characterized by the fact that external Shariah audit is an important component of it which to ensure the independent and sovereign accountability of Islamic financial institutions. This means that Islamic financial institutions will no longer be content with internal sources such as internal Shariah audits and reviews to verify Shariah compliance, but will necessarily have to verify it with a third external party called an external Shariah audit. But after the mandatory implementation of this type of audit in Pakistan, there are many problems such as disinclination of experts, uniformity in the duration of audit and burden of responsibilities, non-standardization in the affairs of Islamic financial institutions, lack of precautionary measures taken by regulators, lack of curriculum and proper training, lack of detailed framework or format and lack of career counseling etc. This research paper covers these difficulties in the light of expert opinions.

Shariah Governance

Abstract: Shariah compliance is the backbone of Islamic banks. As an institution established within the ambit of Shariah, Islamic banks are expected to ensure that their aims, activities, operations and management adhere to the Shariah principles and values. Failure to comply with Shariah, will expose Islamic Financial Institutions (IFIs) to Shariah non-compliance risk. Subsequently, it is an essential duty of the IFIs to manage Shariah risk properly. In order to effectively manage the risk vulnerability of the IFIs, proper measures for risk management have been put in place in different frameworks that are either domestic or international based. In the Malaysian context, IFIs are guided by relevant regulations such as the Shariah Governance Framework 2010, IFSB principles and Islamic Financial Services Act 2013 with regards to Shariah risk management. This research examined the regulatory requirements of the Shariah risk management process for Islamic financial institutions that operate in Malaysia, in the context of the Guidelines on Shariah Governance Framework 2010 issued by the Central Bank of Malaysia. The paper discusses the concept of “risk”, “Shariah risk” and “Shariah non-compliant risk” in the context of Islamic Financial Institutions and also examines the process adopted by the Malaysian IFIs in managing the Shariah risk. The hypotheses that the paper seeks to establish are that there are differences between the concept of Shariah risk and Shariah non-compliant risk; and that the Shariah risk management process adopted by the IFIs are different than the conventional risk management process due to the unique features and requirements of the IFIs.   Keywords: Shariah, Risk management, Islamic Financial Institutions.   Abstrak: Pematuhan Syariah adalah tulang belakang bank Islam. Sebagai sebuah institusiyang ditubuhkan dalam bidang Syariah, bank Islam dijangka memastikan bahawa matlamat, aktiviti, operasi dan pengurusan mereka mematuhi prinsip dan nilai Syariah. Kegagalan mematuhi Syariah, akan mendedahkan Institusi Kewangan Islam (IFIs) kepada risiko ketidakpatuhan Syariah. Selepas itu, adalah tanggungjawab penting IFI untuk menguruskan risiko Syariah dengan betul. Untuk mengatasi kelemahan risiko IFI secara berkesan, langkah-langkah yang sewajarnya untuk pengurusan risiko telah dilaksanakan dalam rangka kerja yang berbeza sama ada di dalam negeri atau antarabangsa. Dalam konteks Malaysia, IFI dipandu oleh peraturan yang berkaitan seperti Rangka Kerja Tadbir Urus Syariah 2010, prinsip IFSB dan Akta Perkhidmatan Kewangan Islam 2013 berkaitan dengan pengurusan risiko Syariah. Kajian ini mengkaji keperluan pengawalseliaan proses pengurusan risiko Syariah untuk institusi kewangan Islam yang beroperasi di Malaysia, dalam konteks Garis Panduan mengenai Rangka Tadbir Urus Syariah 2010 yang dikeluarkan oleh Bank Negara Malaysia. Makalah ini membincangkan konsep “risiko”, “risiko Syariah” dan “risiko tidak patuh Syariah” dalam konteks Institusi Kewangan Islam dan juga mengkaji proses yang diterima pakai oleh IFI Malaysia dalam menguruskan risiko Syariah. Hipotesis ini bertujuan untuk melihat perbezaan antara konsep risiko Syariah dengan risiko tidak patuh Syariah; dan proses pengurusan risiko Syariah yang diterima pakai oleh IFIs adalah berbeza daripada proses pengurusan risiko konvensional disebabkan oleh ciri-ciri unik dan keperluan IFI.   Kata kunci: Syariah, Pengurusan risiko, Institusi Kewangan Islam.

Shariah Governance

Governance is an important component in Halal industry. Appropriate mechanism should be created to ensure the Halal certified company complies with the Shariah principles. Unlike Islamic finance, Halal industry is less regulated in term of governance. Halal certification is not compulsory and even Halal certificate holding companies do not have clear Shariah governance within the administration to ensure the company fulfil its duty and promise to the stakeholder and the customer. The establishment of proper Shariah governance framework for Halal industry will boosts confidence of the shareholders and the publics that all the practices and activities follow Shariah all the times. Thus, this study investigates current practice of Halal governance in several Malaysian companies. The internal mechanisme in Halal monitoring, controlling, improving and preventing any non-compliance will be assessed. The practice will then be compared to the practice of governance in Malaysian Islamic Financial institutions. The study will help to figure the best practice of Halal governance hence become a proper model to be followed
