Abstract

Gold has been used as money for many centuries in human history. In today's markets, it is observed that gold is subject to exchange transactions that are either similar to the ṣarf contract found in classical fiqh texts or much different and more complex than it. At this point, the question of how and in which category the current gold-related transactions will be evaluated in terms of Islamic law and the solution to this problem come to the fore. In this article, Yusuf Erdem Gezgin's work titled " Gold Transactions in Financial Markets: A Review in Terms of Islamic Law", written on the subject, will be introduced. In this work, which he contributed to the literature, the author discussed gold transactions in financial markets.
