Abstract

This case study examines the confluence of Islamic finance and AI ethics in the rapidly growing Robo-Advisory sector, focusing on Wahed Invest LLC (Wahed). As a frontrunner in providing Islamic-compliant financial solutions, Wahed Investments seeks to align its offerings with core Islamic ethical principles. However, recent violations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations, including misleading clients and insufficient disclosures, have highlighted the urgent need to strictly comply with both Islamic ethical standards and regulatory requirements to rebuild trust and maintain its status as a Shari’ah-compliant entity advisor.
