The World Gold Council is exploring the creation of a Shariah Standard on Gold, which will provide guidance from the Shariah perspective on the usage of gold in financial and investment transactions for Islamic financial institutions and participants. The Standard also aims to increase transparency and harmonisation regarding the use of gold in various market practices. A draft of the Standard has been prepared for the Council by Amanie Advisors, a DIFC-based consultancy and training agency specializing in Islamic finance. The World Gold Council is calling for interested parties active in Islamic financial services to submit their responses to the development of a Shariah Standard on Gold since their participation in the development of the Standard is vital. The deadline for feedback has been extended to 31st January 2016.
