What makes this card Islamic

The bank does not name the contract

We could not find Bahrain Islamic Bank stating which Shariah contract this card is built on. That is not the same as saying the card is non-compliant, but it does mean you cannot check the reasoning for yourself. Ask the bank which structure it uses, and for its Shariah board’s approval, before you apply.

Approved by BisB Shari'a Supervisory Board, under the supervision of Central Bank of Bahrain.
