On the shariah-compliant label as a beginning

Mufti Muḥammad Taqī ʿUsmānī

What this source says

The shariah-compliant label is a beginning, not an end. The question every Muslim must ask of any modern product is: what is the actual underlying contract, and does it transfer real economic risk in a way that makes the return permissible — or has the risk been engineered out so that the return is effectively guaranteed time-value compensation?

Wording inside quotation marks is quoted from the source. The rest is this notebook’s summary of it — read the original before relying on it.
