Abstract
Syariah Compliance in the Preparation of Legal Documentation Involving Islamic Financing and Islamic Wealth Management Instruments in Malaysia
Syariah compliance is the essence of any Islamic finance transactions and Islamic wealth management instrument whereby this aspect must be clearly reflected in the relevant legal documentation. This is in line with the recommendation to write contracts as suggested in the Qur’an, although the recommendations are in debt contracts, but they are used in the context of Islamic financing and wealth management to avoid future conflicts or disputes. However, it is observed that not all the legal practitioners and industry players are well versed with the drafting and intricacies pertaining to Islamic Syariah financing and wealth management contracts. Due to major defects in the contractual documents which are supposed to be binding aqad between parties, the transactions may be rendered invalid in the eye of law and unenforceable. Further, the legal documentation should not only address the Syariah compliance but also tackle issues relating to conflict of laws and enforceability under other applicable civil legislations. This issue needs to be addressed to ensure that this aspect of wealth management can be developed further in the Islamic financial sector. Hence, this paper discusses the main elements to constitute valid and enforceable Islamic financing and Islamic wealth management contracts. Besides, this paper also examines the approaches adopted by the Malaysian courts in dealing with defective and void Syariah contracts. At the end of this paper, some suggestions are made to provide remedies for rectification of the defective Islamic finance and wealth management contracts.
