"This book should be essential reading for anyone with an interest in the fastest growth area of banking. Dr. Aldohni has done an excellent job." – Andrew Campbell, Reader in International Banking and Finance Law, University of Leeds, UK "Given the rapid growth in Islamic banking and finance, there has been a proliferation of books on the subject matter. One area that is not received much attention is the legal and regulatory environment under which the industry operates. This book fills a gap in the literature by discussing the legal and regulatory issues of Islamic banking in UK in a comprehensive way." – Professor Habib Ahmed, Sharjah Chair in Islamic Law and Finance, School of Government and International Affairs at the University of Durham, UK"Islamic banking and finance operates on quite different principles than conventional banking, but is also subject to the law of whatever country in which it is found. In this work, Aldohni provides a discussion of the principles, theories, and mechanisms of Islamic banking as they developed in Muslim countries and in the context of British and international regulatory frameworks. He also offers a comparative discussion of legal and regulatory issues of Islamic banking and finance in Malaysia."—Book News
