Reviews
..this book is one of the most detailed analyses of different aspects of Islamic finance from the legal and regulatory perspectives. ... The discussions in various chapters of the book are enriched with relevant case studies and legal precedents which makes it a practical guide for both students of Islamic finance and practitioners who are engaged in the day-to-day practice of Islamic finance. Umar A. Oseni, European Journal of Law and Economics ..it provides something for everyone-very technical chapters for practitioners as well as historical and theoretical chapters which will no doubt help place Islamic Finance in the wider context of studies of law and religion and in particular those who wish to relate modern Islamic law developments against the historical and textual background of the classical tradition..The text of Nethercott et al. is therefore a welcome contribution in the field. Peter Petkoff, Oxford Journal of Law and Religion The volume presents in a clear and convincing fashion the internal debates and developments from which Islamic Finance emerges as being as much indebted to a classical tradition of Islamic jurisprudence as to identity politics and the modern political and ideological constructs of the emerging modern Islamic nation-states. Peter Petkoff, Oxford Journal of Law and Religion This book is one of the most detailed analyses of different aspects of Islamic finance from the legal and regulatory perspectives. Umar A. Oseni, European Journal of Law and Economics As yet however, there are apparently not that many specialist books on the subject in Western languages - hence the timeliness of this carefully researched book.
