• Shari'a Advisers

    • CIU-6.1.4

      The operator of CIUs defined in Rule CIU-6.1.1 must appoint two or more Shari'a Advisers and ensure that:

      (c) The Shari'a Advisers selected are suitably qualified and experienced for their role; and
      (d) The Shari'a Advisers are given sufficient resources and access to information and personnel in order to undertake effectively their role as Shari'a Advisers to the CIU.
