Regulation Regarding Takaful Insurance
A refreshed regulation governing Takaful (Shari'ah-compliant) insurance operations in the UAE, issued under Federal Decree-Law No. 6/2025, alongside related draft Shari'ah standards on Takaful's operational model, Wakala agency arrangements, and Takaful fund controls. Per the regulation's own Article 31, it takes effect one month after Official Gazette publication, which CBUAE's Rulebook shows as 14 September 2026 — publication date given here (14 August 2026) is a best-sourced estimate derived from that one-month rule and was not independently confirmed via a dated announcement.
