'Terrorism link is ludicrous'

The scale of the sukuk market and regulations in place mean profit from issuing Islamic bonds wouldn’t end up in terrorists’ hands.
Hawala is an informal remittance system, which, evidence shows, is used for money laundering. Nearly all sukuk are purchased by institutional investors, mostly central banks, banks and Islamic insurance companies, and almost none goes to private portfolios.
All those entities have strict anti-money laundering procedures in place and are fully compliant with the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) regulations.
The FATF is part of the OECD with the global anti-terrorism financing regulatory power.
