Definition of Sharia-Compliant

Today, unfortunately, this term is primarily loosely used in Finance to describe riba-free (interestfree) investment, and investments that comply with Islamic jurisprudence.
However this is a very narrow incomplete definition, as it only describes the financial investment
side of what is Sharia-Compliant. The true definition of Sharia-Compliance means adherence,
compliance, and obedience to all that Allah (swt) ordered humans in the Qur'an and obeying
what his Prophet (pbuh) has ordered thru Hadith Sahih.
Therefore for example, a picture display of a woman without a veil to a non-mehram is nonSharia-Compliant, text and ideas that promote philosophies, and thoughts that discredit the
words of Allah in the Qur'an are non-Sharia-Compliant. Promoting Darwinism is non-ShariaCompliant, and accepting Gays and Lesbians as a normal accepted behavior is non-ShariaCompliant...and so on.
Obviously there are degrees of adherence to Sharia. Full adherence suggests a veiled woman
with halal loose clothing. Some scholars argue that a conservatively dressed Woman who
shows her hair but covers her body is better than a Woman that shows her body, although both
do not comply with Sharia, one is obviously partially compliant while the other may be
considered fully non-compliant, and Allah knows best.
This does not mean that Islam does not realize that such non-Sharia-Compliance exists, it just
means that Muslims do not and ought not become influenced by such non-Sharia-Compliant
displays and believes, even if other non-Muslims choose to as they are certainly free to do so.
Sharia-Compliance DOES NOT mean erasing others, it just means that Muslims ought to
adhere to the rules of Allah to be called Sharia-Compliant, and create a environment to support
compliance, in day-to-day life, and now on the Internet as it has become a part of our day-to-day
lives.
A Muslim's particular behavior can be considered Sharia-Compliant (Multazim) or non-ShariaCompliant (partial or full). Full Sharia Compliance in all behaviors is very very hard to achive,
but all Muslims are encouraged to pursue achieving full Sharia-Compliance no matter how hard
it is and even if it feels impossible to attain. The same can be said about a Company or an
Organization, and Allah is the most forgiver, and he knows best.

DEFINITION OF 'SHARIA'
Islamic religious law that governs not only religious rituals, but aspects of day-today life in Islam. Sharia, literally translated, means "the way."
There is extreme variation in how Sharia is interpreted and implemented among
and within Muslim societies today. This is especially prevalent for its financial
laws.

INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'SHARIA'

Sharia-compliant finance is an area of modern finance that is growing among
many banks and investment houses. This is due in part to investors eager to
work with the Middle East as oil prices continue to increase. Western financial
services firms are beginning to offer Shariah-compliant investment vehicles that
neither pay interest, nor benefit from gambling.
In late 2007, a Sharia index was launched on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. This
index includes companies that comply with Sharia law. The companies included
in this index are screened on a daily basis, and exclude non Sharia-compliant
companies such as casinos, and alcohol and tobacco companies.
In the West, Sharia-compliant investments are similar to socially responsible
investments.
