Mufti Taqi Usmani, a prominent Islamic scholar, has affirmed that profits earned from deposits in Pakistani Islamic banks are halal or permissible under Islamic law. This statement aims to reassure Muslims concerned about the legitimacy of Islamic banking in Pakistan.
According to Mufti Usmani, these banks operate in compliance with Sharia principles, ensuring that all financial activities and profit-making methods are in line with Islamic guidelines. This assurance is meant to support Muslims who wish to invest and save in these banks without conflicting with their faith.
However, the announcement has received mixed reactions. While many appreciate the clarity, some critics argue that Islamic finance should exclude profit from monetary transactions, questioning if such earnings truly adhere to Islamic values.
