            Abstract

            [Contemporary Islamic Finance has evolved over the recent past to meet economic and financing challenges faced by the Muslim societies, and to regulate the Islamic banking system under Sharfah. Islamic Banks are practicing and introducing various products and instruments such as mushārakah, mudārabah, murābahah, ijārah, salam and istisnā', the innovations of classical fiqh contracts molded into complex banking products. Islamic banks standardize their products with the help of their fatāwā committees. This is sometimes criticized as talfīq, a mere patchwork rather than a proper integration of juristic opinions. The paper argues that Talīq by "qualified jurists" in "issues pertaining to the interests of people and their happiness", is categorized as permissible.]
