Islamic law addresses financial ethics in modern economies through several key principles. *Transparency and Fairness* are essential, ensuring that all transactions are conducted in a clear and just manner ¹. Islamic finance institutions are expected to operate with *Integrity and Trustworthiness*, avoiding any actions that may harm customers or stakeholders ².

Another crucial aspect is *Risk-Sharing*, which promotes mutual cooperation and responsibility among parties involved ³. This approach helps mitigate potential financial risks and fosters a more equitable distribution of wealth. Islamic law also emphasizes *Social Responsibility*, encouraging financial institutions to contribute to the well-being of society and support economic development ⁴.

In addition, Islamic finance prohibits certain practices deemed unethical, including:

– *Riba* (interest or usury)

– *Gharar* (uncertainty or speculation)

– *Maisir* (gambling)

– Investing in prohibited industries (e.g., alcohol, pork, or gambling) ⁵

To ensure compliance with these principles, Islamic financial institutions establish *Shariah Boards*, comprising scholars and experts who oversee and advise on the institution’s activities ¹ ². These boards help maintain the integrity and ethical standards of Islamic finance in modern economies.
