FSAC has been established since 2008 with sole focus on Islamic Banking and Finance or Shariah-compliant finance. We have advised numerous individuals and corporate in Islamic rules on transactions, Faraid, Zakat, Islamic financial products and investments etc.
Introduced as a response to the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, the Financial Shariah Advisory and Consultancy (FSAC) unit was created with the intention of cultivating awareness and enhancing the promotion of Islamic Banking and Finance amidst the uncertainties of the global financial and economic landscape.
At FSAC, we achieve synergy by merging knowledge of local and international Shariah scholars with that of market practitioners from various fields including banking and finance, and management to create a holistic compendium and database of expert financial Shariah knowledge.
We also aim to set the mind of our community at ease when making the right financial transactions based on Islamic principles by offering a comprehensive step-by-step advisory Islamic estate planning and banking.
FSAC serves to aid the community in understanding and effectively implementing principles of Islamic transactions (mu’amalat) in all areas of socio-economic trade and personal wealth management.
