Ijarah is an Islamic leasing structure.
Under our Ijarah-based arrangement, the property title can be held in the customer’s name, while the financing arrangement provides for rental payments and the acquisition of equity over time.
Your periodic payments comprise two key elements:
Ijarah rental — the rental component associated with the financier’s interest in the property.
Equity acquisition — the component through which you acquire greater ownership in the property.
As your equity increases, the corresponding rental component may reduce, subject to the terms of your agreement.
The objective is for you to progressively acquire the property and ultimately own it outright, subject to the contractual arrangements.
This structure is designed to provide a Shariah-conscious alternative to conventional interest-based lending.
