The term "financial engineering", as far as its specific sense is concerned, provides the tool for the development of an Islamic financial system, thus it is not restricted to the conventional meaning of the term, which refers to its financial derivations. The first fundamental issue necessary to be taken into consideration on the way to produce an Islamic financial engineering, to which no specific attention has been paid so far, is to think of its structure. To this end, it is obligatory to consider the process of innovation and its restrictions and challenges on the one hand, and the opportunities and necessities on the other. The next important stage on the way to get to Islamic financial engineering is to pay attention to the principles related to the issue and its Islamic and religious foundations. As a matter of fact, fundamental policy of Islamic financial engineering can only be determined through the Islamic foundations, and their financial and scientific principles. In the end, having recognized the current conditions of Islamic financial system, having explained the strategies and policies of such a system and having determined the ultimate goals and attitudes of the system, we will extract the central foundations and principles of Islamic financial engineering.
