Takaful
Our Takaful practice provides legal advisory on the establishment, structuring, documentation, and operation of shariah-compliant insurance models. We advise Takaful operators, insurers, regulators, and financial institutions on implementing risk-sharing frameworks based on tabarru’ wakala and mudarabah principles within the Insurance Regulatory environment.
We advise on the establishment of Takaful operators and takaful windows, designing participant and operator fund structures, developing wakalah and mudarabah operational models, as well as undertaking institution-based awareness. Our team can draft Takaful participant agreements, policy documents, surplus distribution policies, underwriting and claims documentation, and investment mandates aligned with shariah principles.
We assist clients in acquiring necessary licensing, regulatory compliance, and engagement with insurance regulators or takaful frameworks. We also develop shariah-compliant manuals, internal compliance systems, audit frameworks, and policies for fund segregation and oversight.
We further advise on shariah-compliant investment of Takaful funds, including Sukuk and other permissible instruments. We can ably bridge Islamic commercial jurisprudence with insurance law to enable clients to operate Takaful models that are legally compliant, operationally sound, and shariah-aligned.
