{"title":"Behavioural Finance: An Islamic Perspective","authors":"Halima Boukerroucha, Said Bouheraoua","doi":"10.55188/ijifarabic.v13i2.332","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.55188/ijifarabic.v13i2.332","url":null,"abstract":"This paper discusses the issue of behavioural finance (BF) and its place in the Islamic financial system as well as the feasibility of applying Islamic finance and parameters to forecast the movement of Islamic securities prices. It also explores the possibility of harmonisation between the approaches of market efficiency and behavioural finance. The paper starts with questions about the credibility of the efficient market hypothesis (EMH) in determining the factors affecting the movement of prices in the securities market, especially after the severe financial crises that hit the financial market. The expectations of the positivist approach, which believes that the financial market is characterized by rationality and can correct any deviations of the market value from the fair value, were not borne out. The paper adopts the inductive approach, highlighting the most important views related to BF and EMH and their fundamentals, and also employs an analytical critical approach in analysing the two approaches. Furthermore, it adopts a comparative approach to collate the Islamic financial approach in studying the movement of stocks with the EMH and BF approaches. The paper concludes with a number of findings. The most important of these is that the approaches of market efficiency and behavioural finance do not, in general, contravene the principles of Islamic finance. Moreover, harmonisation between the rational approach based on market efficiency and behavioural finance is one of the best approaches to serve the price of Islamic securities and is in line with the fundamentals of Islamic finance. However, that harmonisation will remain an abstraction unless the market is regulated by Sharīʿah principles and legal rules.","PeriodicalId":322283,"journal":{"name":"مجلة إسرا الدولية للمالية الإسلامية","volume":"85 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115052523","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research problem lies in the fact that this currency exists and has a daily trading volume of billions of dollars, so it was necessary to investigate its nature and characteristics to determine its jurisprudential classification. To achieve the objectives of the research, the researchers relied on the descriptive, inductive, and analytical approaches by scrutinising research and opinions describing the reality of cryptocurrencies, especially Ripple, and analysing matters related to them to determine their jurisprudential classification. The research began by talking about cryptocurrencies in general, then moved to discuss Ripple specifically, explaining matters related to it and the extent to which the functions of money apply to it. The research concluded that Ripple does not qualify as money because it does not achieve the functions of money. The research also found that a distinction must be made between the Ripple network (RippleNet), which is used to facilitate financial transactions, and the Ripple currency (XRP) that is traded on it. RippleNet is an electronic program that is used as a tool or means to conduct transactions, and it is one of the permissible things that facilitate people’s transactions. As for the Ripple XRP, it is an electronic commodity, and there is nothing in the Sharīʿah to prove that it is forbidden in terms of its origin and essence. As for its circulation and trading, they must be studied independently.","PeriodicalId":322283,"journal":{"name":"مجلة إسرا الدولية للمالية الإسلامية","volume":"44 36","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120811333","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paper utilized the data of 32 equity funds on Saudi Exchange during 2021 and found that the estimated turnover ratios of equity funds support the alternative fiqh ruling.

The challenge, however, is in demystifying these currencies and understanding their technicalities and economic implications, because no Shari’a rule can be issued about something before having a complete and thorough understanding of its nature. Hence, it is necessary to first study the technicalities of these currencies in order to address their various Shari’a issues. Cryptocurrencies involve various Shari’a matters, including the very permissibility of their issuance in view of the fact that they are not backed by real valuable assets or supervised by governments or financial authorities, such that people dealing with them are vulnerable to possible fraud and manipulative fluctuations in their values. Other Shari’a issues also include trading in them and whether or not they are considered as interest-bearing (ribawi) commodities such that the injunctions pertaining to interest (riba) may apply to them, as they apply to conventional currencies. In addition, they have potentially negative implications for the market, such as their use in money laundering, drugs trafficking and other illegal dealings. This paper treats the Shari’a aspects of cryptocurrencies using both an Islamic jurisprudential (fiqh) approach as well as a ‘Higher Objectives of the Shari’a (maqasid al-shariah) approach - treating their Shari’a issues from a macro and philosophical perspective. It is hoped that this paper will provide solid .ground for future research to build on its findings.","PeriodicalId":322283,"journal":{"name":"مجلة إسرا الدولية للمالية الإسلامية","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122752034","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study was divided into four main sections: solar energy and the requirements of investment in it, Islamic banks and the investment in solar energy in Jordan, financing of solar projects in Jordan and activating the role of Islamic banks in financing solar energy projects in Jordan.The study founded that the sources of funding were limited to external grants, government funding and funding from private external sources. It founded that there were challenges to financing these projects, such as the high risk of these projects, and the lack of real encouragement for investment by energy sector actors. In order to activate the role of Islamic banks, it was necessary to emphasize the role of Islamic banks in financing development, in addition to enhancing the expected returns from solar energy, not to mention activating the role of the government in providing the appropriate investment, projects' environment.

It is therefore a lifeline for bringing Yemeni women into economic life, but the economic opportunities available to Yemeni women are very limited. That is because there are many challenges facing their economic empowerment. Therefore, this study aims to identify the views of Yemeni women regarding the most important challenges and obstacles that stand in the way of economic empowerment of women in Yemen by adopting the analytical descriptive methodology with the help of primary data collected by a developed questionnaire tool, and secondary data which was obtained from official reports, previous studies and other resources relevant to the study topic. The findings indicate that women's financial illiteracy and negative customs and traditions in the society are the most critical challenges to the economic empowerment of Yemeni women, with percentages of 56% and 52% respectively, with other factors receiving various percentages. Meanwhile, 2% of the total sample size (421 women) brought to light other challenges to women's economic empowerment in Yemen, the most important of which was the insufficient proliferation of Islamic financial institutions. Based on the results and findings, the study recommends more attention be paid to making education compulsory in the society, and the gradual correction of negative customs and traditions in Yemeni society through spreading knowledge and awareness, which could improve the chances of economic empowerment of women.","PeriodicalId":322283,"journal":{"name":"مجلة إسرا الدولية للمالية الإسلامية","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123626860","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
