Information about Islamic finance in European countries is usually provided by
professional-style reports offering practical data on implementation of standardized products.
However precise developments about material legal provisions applicable to contracts and their
actual legal regime are not often detailed. In order to fill this gap 15 researchers from
across Europe contributed to this project. They describe the state of actual Islamic finance in
10 European countries as well as applicable EU law. By combining legal analysis with
statistical description of existing practices and social demand this book provides an
exhaustive account of the current potential of Islamic finance in Europe.
