HAWALA MONEY TRANSFER 2024

HAWALA AS HALAL SYSTEM OF TRANSFERRING MONEY HOW DOES HAWALA WORK?

Hawala as Islamic money transfer system in 2024 is an informal method of transferring funds from one location to another, operating on the basis of trust and extensive use of a network of money brokers, known as 'hawaladars', without the movement of actual currency or direct use of electronic systems for the majority of the transaction process.

Hawala system, deeply rooted in Islamic finance, facilitates the transfer of money between individuals via a unique system of financial obligations and promises, bypassing the formal banking sector and often enabling faster and more flexible transfers, especially in regions with limited banking infrastructure.

Hawala transactions begin with a sender giving money to a hawaladar, who then utilizes a network of contacts to arrange for the corresponding amount (minus any fees) to be paid to the recipient by another hawaladar in the desired location, using only verbal or written assurances as the transaction's basis.

The unique feature of Hawala is its reliance on the honor system and the longstanding relationships between Hawaladars, which often span multiple countries and cultures, underpinning the system's efficiency and reliability without the need for formal contracts.

Settlement of balances between Hawaladars occurs through various methods, including bank transfers, trade in goods and services, or other forms of reciprocal arrangements, thereby minimizing the need for physical movement of cash across borders.

The system's simplicity and cost-effectiveness make it particularly appealing for migrant workers sending remittances to their families in their home countries, offering an alternative to traditional banking methods that can be costly and cumbersome.

Despite its benefits, Hawala faces scrutiny and regulatory challenges due to its informal nature and perceived potential for misuse in money laundering and financing of illicit activities, prompting calls for tighter controls and integration into formal financial systems.

Nevertheless, Hawala in 2024 continues to play a vital role in global remittance flows, especially in Islamic communities and developing countries, where it is valued for its speed, reliability, and alignment with cultural and religious practices.
