The Department of Islamic Economics and Banking was established on the 8th of January 2001 to meet the needs for specialists in Islamic economics and Islamic banking who combine knowledge in economics and Sharia sciences. The importance of the program increased locally and globally after the growth of this science and the emergence of applied models. The department began teaching the Master program in 2001.

The Master’s program in Fiqh and its Foundations is affiliated with the Department of Fiqh and its Fundamentals in the Faculty of Sharia and Islamic Studies. The program aims to graduate distinguished scientific competencies from graduate students, which in turn contribute to serving the local and university community by presenting Sharia knowledge in the field of Fiqh and its Fundamentals in an authentic manner based on evidence and Sharia rules.
