پاکستان میں سود کے خاتمے کے لیے دستوری اداروں کی کوششوں کاتجزیاتی مطالعہ

Abstract

In order to eliminate Ribā with its all forms from the economy of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, several efforts have been made at both the institutional and individual levels. This paper aims to highlight and evaluate the role of constitutional institutions in the elimination of Ribā. The paper specifically focuses on the efforts made by the Legislative Assemblies, Judiciary particularly Federal Shariat Court (FSC), Shariat Appellate Bench (SAP) of the Supreme Court, Council of Islamic Ideology and the State Bank of Pakistan in this regard. The paper has also summarized the historical Judgments rendered by FSC and SAP on Ribā. The paper concludes that all the objections raised by the proponents of Ribā have satisfactorily been addressed both at FSC and SAP. The paper argues that the Parliament should legislate in a comprehensive manner by taking into consideration the Judgments of the higher judiciary.
