The Islamic finance industry faces the challenging task of attempting to reconcile the risk management demands of business entities with the difficulties posed by the seemingly rigid stance taken by some Shari'ah scholars over hedging practices. Offering a fresh perspective, Sherif Ayoub confronts the challenge by reformulating how we might think about the theorisation of economic matters in the Islamic faith. Shedding light on the way the Islamic finance industry conceptualises the role of financial instruments in a market risk management framework that adheres to the objectives of Islamic jurisprudence, readers will come to understand the issues surrounding the avoidance of Riba (usury), Gharar (excessive uncertainty) and Maysir (gambling).

Calculated risk-taking and preservation of wealth are two central pillars of Islamic economics and finance. Balancing the two while working within the global financial markets is a daunting challenge. Sherif Ayoub has done an excellent job of discussing and presenting a variety of views on these oft-competing dimensions. His book will significantly contribute to spurring a new wave of innovative market risk management techniques that conform to the body of rules within Shari’ah as well as having productive market utility.
