Murabahah

Murabahah means a sale of goods by a person to another under an arrangement whereby the seller is obliged to disclose to the buyer the cost of goods sold either on cash basis or deferred payment basis and a margin of profit included in the sale price of goods agreed to be sold. Murabahah is transacted in tangible assets only. Murabahah shall not be transacted in respect of any debt instrument including receivables. Being a sale transaction, it is essential that the commodities which are the subject of sale in a Murabahah transaction must exist, owned by the seller and in his physical or constructive possession.

TTherefore, it is necessary that the seller must have assumed the risks of ownership before selling the commodities to the buyer/customer. It is a fixed price sale and normally is done for short term. The transaction can be used in order to meet the working Capital requirements by way of purchase of goods. It cannot be used to meet overheads payments such as settlement of utility bills or payment of salaries or settlement of amounts owed to others. Murabahah, as a mode of financing, has become synonymous with facility sale of goods by the Banks. As such, almost all kinds of businesses, including those providing services (hotels & hospitals, e.g.) may be the target for Murabahah facilities for their tangible assets or inventory.

Musawamah

"Musawamah"- is a bargain sale without disclosing or referring to the cost. Musawamah is a general kind of sale in which price of the commodity to be traded is stipulated between seller and the buyer without any reference to the price paid or cost incurred by the seller. Thus it is different from Murabaha with respect to disclosure of price. Musawamah is relatively easier than Murabaha sale where the reference must be made to the cost or the profit margin. On the other hand, seller in Musawamah is not obliged to reveal the cost/profit.

Diminishing Musharakah

Diminishing Musharakah (DM) is a form of co-ownership in which two or more people share the ownership of a tangible asset in an agreed proportion and one of the co-owners undertakes to buy in periodic installments the proportionate share of the other co-owner until the title to such tangible asset is completely transferred to the purchasing co-owner.

Diminishing Musharakah can be created only in tangible assets. It shall be limited to the specified Asset(s) and not to the whole enterprise or business. Proportionate share of each co-owner must be known and defined in terms of investment. There will be an undertaking by one of the co owners to the effect to purchase the units of other co-owner at a mutually agreed price until the entire ownership of the asset is transferred to the purchasing co owner.

Additionally, an undertaking shall be given by the other owner to the effect that he will sell the units owned by him to the first co-owner in the event the latter desires to purchase the units earlier than the agreed schedule on such price as may be mutually agreed. Also rental agreement is in place with customer enabling bank to collect the rental on bank’s rented share to customer.

Ijarah

Ijarah refers to a transaction where the corpus of leased assets remains in the ownership of the Lessor and the Lessee is allowed to benefit from the usefulness of these assets (i.e., their usufruct) for a consideration. Only those assets can be leased which can be used while retaining their original form, e.g., land, building, machinery, tools, crockery & cutlery. During the entire term of the lease, the Lessor must retain title to the assets, and bear all risks and rewards pertaining to ownership. However, if any damage or loss is caused to the leased assets due to the fault or negligence of the Lessee, the consequences thereof shall be borne by the Lessee.

The consequences arising from non-customary use of the asset without mutual agreement will also be borne by the Lessee. The Lessee is also responsible for all risks and consequences in relation to third party liability, arising from or incidental to operation or use of the leased assets. The insurance/takaful of the leased asset preferably are in the name of Lessor and the cost of such insurance/takaful borne by him. The amount of rental must be agreed in advance in an unambiguous manner either for the full term of the lease or for a specific period in absolute terms.

Mudaraba

Mudaraba means an arrangement in which a person participates with his money (called Rabbulmal) and another with his efforts (called Mudarib) for sharing in profit from investment of these funds in an agreed manner. A Mudarib may be a natural person, a group of persons, a legal entity or a corporate body.

TThe profit shall be divided in strict proportion agreed at the time of contract and no party shall be entitled to a predetermined amount of return or remuneration. Financial losses of the Mudaraba shall be borne solely by the Rabbulmal; unless it is proved that the Mudarib has been guilty of fraud, negligence or willful misconduct or has acted in contravention of the mandate. The Mudarib can invest his funds in the business of the Mudaraba with the permission of Rabbulmal. The condition is that in such situation, the Rabbulmal shall not be entitled to a proportion of profit in excess of the ratio that his investment bears to the total investment of the enterprise. The loss, if any, shall be shared in proportion to the Capital of the parties. The amount of Mudaraba investment standing to the facility of Rabbulmal on the culmination or termination of Mudaraba arrangement shall be undertaken to be discharged by the Mudarib.

Istisna

Istisna is a mode of sale, at an agreed price, whereby the buyer places an order to manufacture, assemble or construct, or Cause so to do anything to be delivered at a future date. Price of the goods to be manufactured must be fixed in absolute and unambiguous terms. The agreed price may be paid in lump sum or in installments in the matter mutually agreed by the parties.

Unless otherwise mutually agreed, any party may cancel the contract unilaterally if the seller has not incurred any direct or indirect cost in relation thereto. If goods manufactured conform to the specifications agreed between the parties, the purchaser cannot decline to accept them except if there is an obvious defect in such goods. However, the agreement can stipulate that if the delivery is not made within the mutually agreed time period, then the buyer can refuse to accept the goods. The IBOP IBD (buyer in Istisna) can enter into a Parallel Istisna contract without any condition or linkage with the original Istisna contract. In one of them, the BOP IBD will be the buyer and in the second the seller. Each of the two contracts shall be independent of the other. They cannot be tied up in a manner that the rights and obligations of one contract are dependent on the rights and obligations of the parallel contract.

Further, Parallel Istisna is allowed with a third party only. In Istisna transactions the buyer shall not, before taking possession (actual or constructive) of the goods sell or transfer ownership in the goods to any other person. If the seller fails to deliver the goods within the stipulated period, the price of the commodity can be reduced by a specified amount per day as per the agreement. Also Murabahah can be done instead of parallel Istisna.

Running Musharakah

Running Musharakah is Shariah compliant alternative of Running Finance Facility available in conventional banking system. Running Musharakah is based on the concept of Musharakah. The word Musharakah is derived from the Arabic word Shirkah meaning partnership. Islamic jurists point out that the legality and permissibility of Musharakah is based on the injunctions of the Qur'an, Sunnah, and Ijma (consensus) of the scholars.

Purpose of extending Running Musharakah facility is to finance working capital requirements of customer. Unlike Murabaha where finance is allowed for a specific purpose (sale/ purchase of item). In Running Musharakah, customer can utilize the funds for any of its Shariah Compliant working capital requirements.
