Author(s): Dr. Al-Mustapha Sekinat Ibrahim
The existence of the definition of Non-interest Financial Institution banking (NIFI) calls forthe need to examine the practical definition of NIFI (Islamic banking system) in Nigeria. Thisbecomes absolutely necessary to avert any possible misconstruction of the intent of the CBNguidelines. The article adopted the use of doctrinal methodology wherein both primary andsecondary data were utilized. The primary data utilized was from hadith, while the secondarydata was sourced from CBN guidelines and case laws. It is the contention of this article whetherthe definition of the CBN guideline of 2009 on NIFI and the same latter repeated in the 2016regulation on Non-Interest (Microfinance) Bank can actually stand the test of reality. It is thefindings of this article that, there is the need to readjust the definition of NIFI which aim atcompliance with the principles of Shariah in a way that the definition will reflect the applicableschool of thought in matters relating to Islamic Commercial Jurisprudence. It is thereforerecommended that, CBN should amend the guideline and same to be reissued in a way that aspecific school of thought will be specified and also adopts the use of ‘any other similartransaction’ where prohibitory dealings were mentioned.
A Comparative Review of Criminal Justice Models: Islamic vs Secular Perspective
Author(s): Abubakar Bukar Kagu
ABSTRACTIn critical legal scholarship, criminal justice is often regarded as mainly a formidableinstrument of control. This has led to the argument that the whole notion of criminal justice’scapacity to control crime and adjudicate with fairness are only rhetoric. In the general sensehowever, criminal justice, whether Islamic or secular, is considered as set of rules andprocesses modelled to contain and remedy against violation or infractions. Because it is aphenomenon that responds mainly to social incidents and dynamics, it has become susceptibleto constant modification and reviews. This is particularly common with man-made laws aspriorities shift and in many cases, a response to the disappointment, which scholars associatewith the seeming exaggerated demand for efficiency in a system that is incapable of providingone. For Islamic model, the idea of constant changes and reforms is far-fetched as rules andprocedures are defined based on standard religious texts and juristic opinions. This paperintends to discuss the development and characteristics of both Islamic and secular models ofcriminal justice, drawing inference from the orientation that shaped these models and comparethe ideas and practices that define them. The paper take particular interest in the key aspectsof crime control and due process models.
