      Managing an Unrestricted Shari'a profit-sharing investment account is defined as managing an account, portfolio or fund, whereby a sum of money is placed with the service provider on terms that a return will be made according to an agreed Shari'a-compliant profit-sharing arrangement, such as a mudaraba or musharaka partnership without the customer laying down any restrictions as to where, how and for what purpose the funds should be invested. Such equity of unrestricted investment account holders shall be recorded in the books of the bank (see AAOIFI Standard FAS6).
