Description
The Islamic Finance and Waqf Summit 2026 aims to explore and enhance the understanding of the intersection between waqf, Islamic finance and the legal profession. The event, organised by the Bar Council Ad Hoc Waqf Committee in collaboration with the Bar Council Islamic Finance Committee, will serve as a pivotal platform for legal professionals, financial experts and industry stakeholders to discuss the evolving role of lawyers in shaping and advancing Islamic social finance, with a special focus on waqf.
The summit will address key topics such as the legal implications and opportunities in the practice of waqf, the complexities surrounding land development in waqf, and the implementation of Shariah-compliant financing structures such as tawarruq, murabahah and ijarah.
The discussions will also delve into practical issues surrounding Islamic finance litigation and the potential of Alternative Dispute Resolution mechanisms in resolving disputes within this field.

(1) Islamic Banking and Finance: Trends and Future Direction;
(2) Waqf Governance, Digitisation and Sustainability;
