Basically Shariah Board members should have expertise, knowledge and experience in Islamic Jurisprudence (usul al fiqh) and/or Islamic Commercial laws (fiqh al musmalat). However due to shortage of Scholars , paper qualifications are not mandatory as long as the member has the necessary knowledge , reputation and qualities satisfactory to the shareholders .
