2. The Shari?ah Supervisory Board (SSB) which oversees the Shari?ah compliancy of the fund is headed by the respected scholar Justice (R) Mufti Taqi Usmani Saheb of Karachi and ably assisted by his son Dr. Imran Usmani as well as Mufti A K Hoosen. All aspects of the Shari?ah are clearly monitored by the board.
