  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Financial Innovation and Engineering in Islamic Finance

Part of the book series: Contributions to Management Science ((MANAGEMENT SC.))

Abstract

The previous chapter (Chap. 6) discussed innovation in the traditional economics theory and outlined the innovation approach for three main innovation schools. It also explored the issue of innovation bias in the literature and the role of financial innovation in financial crisis as an influencing and exacerbating factor. The financial innovation theory from an Islamic perspective, however, goes beyond the basic principles of its conventional counterpart. Its basic principles on which it could be built are deeply rooted in the teachings of Shariah, namely the Qur’an and Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad, in general and the particular general Shariah rulings of the principles of jurisprudence (usoul al fiqh).
