Bank Sohar signed an agreement with Dar al Sharia Legal & Financial Consultancy of Dubai, to help it with all the main aspects of launching its Islamic banking window.
Since then, the bank has been working on introducing authentic, Sharia-based banking solutions to its customers. It seems that it has recognized three areas of utmost importance for ensuring that its Islamic window is a solution that respects the basic tenets of Islam, the sensibilities of Omanis and is within the guidelines of the Central Bank of Oman.
