Islamic Finance And The Influence Of Religion On The Law

"The financial crisis of 2007/2008 and its aftermath led to soul-searching on the origins of the crisis, including the question whether a wider application of Islamic finance, with its prohibitions of interest and synthetic financial products, would have lessened the impact of the crisis. Islamic finance is an area of business which has seen strong developments in the past decade. Its rise brings up the general question of the influence of religion on the law. The issue of the interplay between religion and law was the subject of a panel held during the 74th Biennial Conference of the International Law Association (ILA), held in The Hague from 15 to 20 August 2010. The papers of this panel are published here, together with an article about the question whether following Islamic finance precept would have mitigated the seriousness of the financial crisis"--P.
