SHARI'A COMPLIANCE
The Islamic Commodity Online Network (“ICON”) has been designed in collaboration with its retained panel of scholars, Amanie LLC in Dubai, to ensure Shari'a compliance at every stage of the development process. ICON follows some important precepts; principal among these are the following:

  • The transaction flow should follow normal commercial market practice
  • Commodities bought and sold must exist and be Shari’a compliant in all respects
  • Commodity suppliers must have title to goods they intend to sell
  • Title of goods must pass to each counterparty in exchange for payment
  • Buyers can take physical delivery of goods in exchange for payment to suppliers
