• W2984530680 abstract "Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether the shariah -compliant status of the firms negatively influences their use of foreign exchange hedging instruments. Design/methodology/approach This paper uses a logit panel regression on 350 firm-year observations from 70 nonfinancial listed firms over the period from 2010 to 2014. Shariah -compliant companies account for about 84 per cent of the sample firms. Findings Preliminarily, the results show that none of the samples of the shariah -compliant firms report any use of Islamic hedging instrument, either in the form of wa’d or tawarruq . The results of the study’s logit panel regression contradict the authors’ prediction that the shariah -compliant status negatively influences firms’ decision to hedge. In contrast, shariah -compliant companies are twice as likely as their conventional counterparts in adopting forex hedging. Research limitations/implications This study is limited to information disclosed in the items 31, 36 and 37 of financial management policies in the annual report. However, given that shariah -compliant firms must abide by the limit of 5 per cent profits before tax from clearly prohibited activities (including riba’ ), the need for exclusive disclosure on the adoption of Islamic or conventional hedging appears to be imperative for the viability of the Malaysian Islamic capital market. Practical implications In evaluating the shariah compliance of a company, investors (individual or institutional) must look further than just interest-based riba’ in mixed-business companies to ensure that they comply with the 5 per cent maximum requirement on the non-halal business contribution to profit. This is because the finding of this study indicates that shariah -compliant companies are twice as likely to adopt forex hedging, when none of them reports the use of Islamic hedging tools. Investors must therefore give ample allowance to riba’ that can be induced through the use of conventional forex hedging instruments. This is until the security market regulator imposes a requirement on shariah -compliant companies an explicit disclosure of the use of Islamic versus conventional hedging tools, as they had done in the case of Islamic versus conventional debt instruments. Social implications Muslim and socially responsible investors rely on the Shariah-compliant status of the company in ensuring that their wealth grows according to the Shariah principles. To sustain and develop the Islamic capital market which the firms have been relying on for external capital, Shariah -compliant firms and the authority awarding the status are equally responsible for honoring the trust that these investors by ensuring the permissibility (halal) of the business and the conduct of their business. Originality/value Conventional forex hedging instruments are criticized for violating as-sarf , a shariah principle, which requires the exchanges of particular assets (gold, silver and currency) to be delivered on the spot, and thereby infusing riba’ al-fadhl . Although Islamic ( wa’d - or tawarruq -based) hedging instruments are widely available by Islamic banks in this country since they were introduced by Bank Negara Malaysia in 2010, paradoxically, the authors’ observation indicates that none of the studied firms reports the adoption of these instruments in their annual reports." @default.
