Abstract

The Islamic Legal Studies Program at Harvard Law School has housed a research project named, Islamic Finance Project (IFP) that was quite active and well recognized in its field. The idea behind the workshop was cropped up during discussions with IFP associates about the future of Islamic finance and economics. It was suggested that engaging key scholars in a debate on the role of Islamic finance and Islamic law (Shariah) in the current trajectory of the Islamic finance industry would be an essential; step to support the industry. The whole debate centered around two key stakeholders; i.e. economists and Shariah scholars. When the first Workshop began in 2006, the idea was to bring Shariah scholars and Islamic economists along with selected practitioners to a roundtable and let them discuss threadbare the issues that they feel is critical and important. This is a report of all the workshops held since 2006-2017
