CA-A.3.7
Islamic banks are not contractually obliged to make good losses arising from Islamic financing assets funded by the investment accounts, unless these losses arise from the negligence on the part of the Islamic bank as manager (Mudarib) or as agent (Wakeel). However to be prudent, CBB requires Islamic banks to provide regulatory capital to cover minimum requirement arising from 30% of the risk weighted assets and contingencies financed by the unrestricted investment accounts. Therefore, for the purpose of calculating its Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR), the risk-weighted assets of an Islamic bank consist of the sum of the risk-weighted assets financed by the Islamic bank's own capital and liabilities, plus 30% of the risk-weighted assets financed by the Islamic bank's unrestricted PSIAs.
