Abstract

This paper is a critical review of the research presented by Muhammad Anas Zarqa on the rule proposed by Sami Al-Suwailem to distinguish between lawful Shariah-based commercial loans and usurious loans. This subject is of utmost importance, given the ongoing debate on whether there is a true difference between the financing models proposed by Islamic banks and the usury-based loaning models used by conventional banks. Furthermore, many Muslim economists and jurists tend to question the Shariah-conformity of debt-based financing products, such as murābaha, ijārah, salam, and istisna, with the provisions of Sharia because of what they perceive to be a significant similarity between the two systems in terms of objectives and outcomes. It is, therefore, crucial to devise an objective scientific rule that differentiates them. This paper examined Dr. Muhammad Anas Zarqa's research paper and has come to a conclusion that would enhance the accuracy, consistency, and integrity of the proposed rule. هذه الورقة قراءة نقدية للبحث المقدم من أنس الزرقا الذي تناول فيه القاعدة المقترحة من قبل سامي السويلم للتمييز بين التمويل الإسلامي بالمداينة التجارية الشرعية والتمويل الربوي. ويكتسي الموضوع أهمية بالغة بالنظر إلى ما يثار حول حقيقة اختلاف هذا النوع من التمويل الذي تمارسه البنوك الإسلامية وصيغ الإقراض الربوي المطبقة في البنوك التقليدية. بل جنح الكثير من المفكرين الاقتصاديين والفقهاء إلى التشكيك في توافق منتجات التمويل بالمداينة على غرار المرابحة والإجارة والسلم والاستصناع مع أحكام الشريعة الإسلامية من فرط ما بدا لهم من تشابه بين المنهجين في مقصديهما ومآليهما، مما يجعل صياغة قاعدة علمية موضوعية تميز بينهما أمرًا بالغ الأهمية. وتم النقاش في هذه المساهمة لورقة أنس الزرقا، وكان نتيجة ذلك التوصل إلى رأي سيضفي على القاعدة المقترحة دقة ومتانة وتكاملًا أحسن.
