finance and traditional Islamic studies:

Abdul Sattar Abu Ghuddah (his name is not abu), Muhammad Abdul-Gahfar Ash-
Shareef of Kuwait, Dr. Agil Al-Nashmi of Kuwait and Dr. Muhammad Na’im of Jordan;
they have both classical Fiqhi training and education. Other scholars in the area include
Dr. Muhammad Ali al-Qaradaghi who teaches in Qatar. We have several others who

Islamic economics and finance such as Dr. Hussein Hammed Hassan of Egypt/Pakistan,
Dr. Muhammad Ra’fat Usman of Al-Azhar, Sheikh Abdullah bin Many’ of Mecca, and

collaboration with brothers of pure economic backgrounds whop are also involved in
research on Islamic finance and economics with good Shari’ah background although it is not the type of formal systemic education. In this category are Dr. Muhammad Ali al Ghari of Jeddah, Muhammad Anas Zarka, who is presently in Kuwait, Umar Hafith or
