Özet:

 

This paper has tried to assess the level of Shariah compliance in the operation of the Islamic Banks in Bangladesh. The data were collected from questionnaire survey on 400 respondents from six Islamic banks regarding banking operations and from personal interview with bank officials & regulators of the banks. Other data were attained from different journals, books, Qur’an, Sunnah and the websites of the sample banks. Descriptive statistics are used to analyze the data. Most of the Islamic banks are not complying with the shariah with respect to deposits, investments, audit and other activities. The underlying reasons for the non-compliance are the absence of mandatory Shariah guidelines, lack of Shariah scholarly officials, dual compliance, absence of penalties for non-compliance and some other external factors. If the Central bank and other regulatory bodies are concerned enough to form a uniform guideline for all the Islamic banks operating in Bangladesh, it will be easier for the Islamic banks to comply with Shariah. This is the sole study that deals with different areas of operations in the Islamic Banks to assess the shariah compliance. It has incorporated both survey and interview findings to assess the real picture.
