Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to study the concept of purging and present a comparative study of the existing purging methodologies prevailing in the market with a view to evolving a more effective method of capturing the entire impure income to be purged.
Design/methodology/approach
To illustrate the present discussion, a case study of purging based on numerical examples has been included. The argument has also been supported with empirical data related to the universe of Sharīʿah-compliant stocks listed on Indian stock exchanges.
Findings
During the study, it was found that the existing purging methodologies of calculating impure income to be purged have conceptual and practical shortcomings.
Research implications/limitations
The scope of the current research is limited to calculation of impure income which accrues on account of Sharīʿah non-compliant investments directly or indirectly. It does not try to quantify the benefit which may be imputed in the form of capital gains made in trading of the investee company shares due to higher market value of the shares as a result of the impure income earned by the investee company. The paper has focused on identifying and calculating the impure income on account of interest. Impure income earned from specific Sharīʿah non-compliant products or services has not been considered directly. The reason for this is that companies dealing in such products or services are generally excluded at the business screening stage itself. In the case of those companies which derive a relatively small proportion of their total income from such activities and pass the business screening stage, the quantum of the impure income is not generally reported separately in company accounts.
Practical implications/limitation
The result of adopting the proposed methodology will lead to complete purging of impure income (to the extent that is possible under present Company Law and stock exchange reporting regulations). Implementation of the proposed method requires a proper understanding of the working of listed companies and either a sound mathematical background or access to a software application to calculate the impure income to be purged.
Originality/value
The current paper is original and based on the authors’ personal understanding and experience of providing Sharīʿah consultancy services related to Sharīʿah-compliant investments.

Abstract
When stainless steel pipes and tubes, hereafter referred to only as pipes, (and some made of other materials such as chrome moly carbon steel, copper nickel, titanium, etc.) are welded together or to fittings, it is desirable to purge the oxygen out of the inside of the material near the weld zone to prevent it from reacting with the hot metal and causing coking, porosity, uneven penetration and so on.

Abstract
The future of the current family of wide‐bodied transports is examined in the environment of the changing world‐wide fuel supply situation. Synthetic hydrocarbon and cryogenic fuels are considered in the context of impact on airline fleets and their maintenance. The probability of the emergence of new technology aircraft, still utilising hydrocarbon fuel is considered in view of the possible shortening of their useful life by the introduction of cryogenic fuels. Possible effects on maintenance of the new technologies which would be included in such aircraft are discussed. Finally, the characteristics of the two most promising cryogenic fuels are compared and the effects of one of these fuels on fuel system design, maintenance, and service as well as facilities and equipment are reviewed.
