•We analyse the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the spillover between conventional and Islamic stock and bond markets.•We further investigate determinates of the spillovers between these markets before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.•Results show that the Islamic bonds (Sukuk) demonstrate safe haven properties during this pandemic.•The spillovers between conventional and Islamic stock markets become stronger during the pandemic.•COVID-19, oil and gold are strong predictors of the conventional-Islamic markets spillovers. We analyse the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the spillovers between conventional and Islamic stock and bond markets. We further analyse comparatively whether gold, oil, Bitcoin prices, and the risk measures VIX and EPU indexes affect the relationships between these different markets during the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak. The results show that the Islamic bonds (Sukuk) demonstrate safe haven properties during this pandemic crisis, while the spillovers between conventional and Islamic stock markets become stronger during the pandemic outbreak. COVID-19, Oil and gold are strong predictors of the conventional-Islamic markets spillovers, while Bitcoin is not a significant determinant of these relationships.
