Abstract

Despite theoretical differences between conventional and Islamic finance, critics argue that Islamic finance remains operationally similar to conventional finance. This apparent convergence in substance has led to growing disillusionment among stakeholders, prompting calls for a reassessment of the objectives and principles underlying Islamic finance. The objective of this study is twofold: first, to conduct a comprehensive comparative analysis between Islamic finance and conventional finance, and second, to explore the hidden dynamics of Islamic economics and finance by investigating its special theoretical features. By conducting intensive library research and reviewing main studies in Islamic economics and Finance, this study examines the salient features of Islamic economics and finance. The study identifies several hidden dynamics, including the role of money as a medium of exchange, prohibition of debt securitization, financing real sector development, the role of Islamic finance in infrastructure development, and the impact of Shariah screening mechanisms on stock market crashes. By examining the salient features of Islamic Economics and Finance, this research aims to provide theoretical insights that will contribute to academic literature, while also guiding regulators and industry practitioners in innovating financial products that more authentically embody the ethical spirit of Islamic finance.

Abstract

This paper tests the Shariah-compliant-augmented three-factor model (TFM) in the U.S. stock market from July 2005 to June 2024. In particular, we investigate whether the Shariah Compliant (SC) risk factor, measured as the difference in returns between the portfolio of non-Shariah-compliant (NSC) firms and that of SC firms, constitutes a systematic source of risk able to explain financial distress. We find that the SC risk factor is a major determining factor in pricing of stock portfolios classified by size, book-to-market and Shariah compliance, along with those of distressed and non-distressed firms. Additionally, we point out that the SC risk factor explains the cross-section of stock returns even when other financial distress risk factors are considered, suggesting that it contains significant distress-related information. Finally, we show that this risk factor is significantly related to innovations in term spread, which is consistent with Merton’s ICAPM explanation. Overall, the findings indicate that the SC factor represents a systematic, undiversifiable distress risk factor. These results have important implications for asset management using SC stocks, supporting an SC-augmented TFM to fairly value assets and suggesting that SC investment may provide protection against financial distress.

Abstract

This study investigates consumer insights on halal certification in Malaysia by examining awareness, perception, visibility, trust, and purchase behaviour, with religious belief as a moderator. Using a non-probability purposive sampling method, 801 valid responses were collected and analysed with Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results show that perception and awareness significantly influence trust, while visibility has no significant effect. Trust and religious belief strongly predict purchase behaviour, and religious belief also moderates the relationship between trust and purchase. It should be noted, however, that the sample disproportionately represents Indigenous Sabah respondents, while Malay respondents—the national majority—are underrepresented. Therefore, the findings are context-specific and not generalisable to the entire Malaysian population. Despite this limitation, the study provides useful insights into consumer trust in halal certification and offers practical recommendations for practitioners, regulators, and policymakers, as well as theoretical contributions for future research.

Abstract

This study applies an integrated Quantile Vector Autoregression and Quantile Regression to examine spillover dynamics in the FinTech context. By analysing the period from 2019 to 2024, which includes significant events such as the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2023 banking crisis, and notable regulatory developments, the study captures nonlinear and asymmetric relationships between FinTech attention (ATFIN), FinTech stock performance (FINTS), and financial stock returns, for both conventional (FINS) and Islamic (IFINS) stocks. The findings suggest that ATFIN tends to respond to market movements during normal and bearish conditions, while it becomes a net transmitter during bullish periods, amplifying investor sentiment and speculative activity. Conventional financial stocks consistently emerge as strong transmitters of market spillovers, whereas Islamic financial stocks function mainly as receivers, especially during market upswings, indicating their potential role as a stabilizing force. These results contribute to the literature on behavioural finance and financial contagion by highlighting the asymmetric behaviour of FinTech attention across market regimes. The study also offers practical implications for regulators and institutional investors. Monitoring ATFIN may help identify speculative trends, while Islamic FinTech models could appeal to more risk-averse investment profiles.

Abstract

This study introduces Sharīʿah analytics, a novel methodological framework leveraging machine learning and big data analytics, to systematically analyze classical Islamic jurisprudential texts (furūʿ al-fiqh kitābs), and further assesses cryptocurrencies against the Islamic monetary principles. Sharīʿah analytics is done via computationally processing 55 texts across four Sunni and one Shia legal tradition, examining Arabic currency-related terms and their fundamentals to explain whether cryptocurrencies align with pre-modern juristic definitions rooted in physicality, standardization, and regional acceptance. Findings reveal that cryptocurrencies inherently diverge from classical criteria, e.g., weight-based valuation, intrinsic material purity, and communal consensus, interpreting them non-compliant with traditional Islamic currency frameworks. This approach advances Islamic monetary scholarship, offering a data-driven lens to reconcile ethical monetary principles with emerging digital economies. The study fills a gap in existing literature by systematically contextualizing cryptocurrency debates within primary juristic sources rather than relying on speculative analogies or fragmented scholarly opinions. ACKNOWLEDGMENT Fahmi Ali Hudaefi would like to thank Dr Haula Noor (Universitas Islam Internasional Indonesia) for introducing him to Islamicate Digital Humanities, which grounds the idea of Shariah analytics.
