The Independence of Shari’a Supervision of Jordanian Islamic Banks: Reality and Hope

The aim of the research is to clarify the requirements for upgrading the independence of Sharia supervision over Islamic banks in Jordan, by studying the reality of the independence of Sharia supervision over those banks, and then suggesting means that contribute to raising the level of such independence in them. The research found that there are requirements for the independence of Sharia supervision related to legislation, and administrative, organizational, financial and intellectual independence, and that these requirements are missing a lot in the case of Jordan; Therefore, the research presented a proposal for the establishment of a central Sharia supervisory board that enjoys financial and administrative independence, and that it performs Sharia control over the work of Islamic banks in Jordan, which leads to raising the level of independence of Sharia supervision, and bypassing all criticisms of its independence. The study recommended paying attention to this proposal, and conducting studies that examine the possibility of improvement and application.
