Sukuk Sharia Governance (AAOIFI Standard 17)
Unlike interest-bearing conventional bonds (debt), Sukuk represent undivided co-ownership in tangible assets, usufruct, or commercial enterprises. Payouts represent genuine rental distributions or enterprise profits, not interest. Asset-based Sukuk guarantee redemption at par through a binding purchase undertaking (Wa'ad).
