Deferment of Both Counter Values in Financial Transactions; Maqasid Analysis and its Impacts on Money Exchanges

Submitted by Munir on Tue, 01/25/2022 - 11:49

Shariah texts forbid deferment of both counter values in the commutative transactions. However, it is obvious that contemporary juristic opinions abide by this prohibition without appreciating its Shariah objectives. This is evident as some of these opinions unjustifiably differentiate between similar applications, or they violate the prohibition by allowing stratagems that eventually lead to having both values deferred.

Intergenerational mobility of education and occupation in Pakistan: a multinomial logistic analysis

Submitted by Munir on Tue, 01/25/2022 - 09:50
The present study uses a sample of 613 households and attempts to find intergenerational transmission through non-monetary factors such as education and occupations. The results from the logistic regression models are mixtures of opposites, hence more challenging to draw a factual finding from these estimates. For unskilled and managerial ranks of occupation, the findings support the hypothesis, but for skilled non-manual, it does not. The results for the other ranks turn out to be significant.
