The Principles of Islamic Finance

2. The Principles of Islamic Finance
Islamic Banking (IB) Definition: Islamic banking can be defined as: a form of modern banking based on Islamic legal concepts using risk- sharing as its main method excluding financing based on fixed pre- determined return.

The Principles of Islamic Finance
The purpose of the Islamic financial system:
The purpose of the Islamic financial system is, as with conventional finance, to mobilize global resources to promote and sustain global
and regional development.
Islamic Finance taps the vast pool of savings held by
Muslims, and puts these savings to productive use for the benefit of Islamic and other societies.

4. 2 - Prohibition of Gharar
The Principles of Islamic Finance
Principles that underlie the methodology of Islamic finance:
1 - Prohibition of Riba
2 - Prohibition of Gharar

5. The Principles of Islamic Finance
Riba is understandable given that the payment and receipt of interest are central to all conventional banking.
Riba literally means increase,addition,expansion or growth. It is a typical increase or growth , which has been prohibited by Islam.
Riba technically refers to the premium that must be paid by the borrower to he lender along with the principle amount as a condition for the loan or for an extension in its maturity. in this case Riba obviously means interest.
Islam made a clear distinction between trade and Riba. Trading is encouraged but Riba is prohibited.

6. Islam does not consider money as a commodity so that there
The Principles of Islamic Finance
Islam does not consider money as a commodity so that there
should be a price for its use.
Money is a medium of exchange i.e. Haman in asset-oriented
economy , and a store of value.
The prohibition can be expressed in more technical terms by
saying that while money is recognised in Islam as a means of
exchange it may not lawfully be Regarded as a commodity for
exchange.
The important difference between trade and Riba is that the
business risk in trading is allocated more evenly among all the
parties involved, whereas in Riba operations the business risk
lies heavily, if not solely, on the borrower.

7. The prohibition of Riba implies that:
The Principles of Islamic Finance
The prohibition of Riba implies that:
The fixing in advance of a positive return on a loan as a reward for waiting is not permitted by Islam.
It makes no difference whether the return is :
a fixed or variable percent of the principle
or an absolute amount to be paid in advance or on
maturity,
or a gift or service as a condition for the loan. .

8. - Ignorance of the goods or price, or false description of the goods.
The Principles of Islamic Finance
Gharar
Gharar is a type of exchange in which one or both parties stand to be deceived through ignorance of an essential element of the exchange
- Ignorance of the goods or price,
or false description of the goods.
- selling of goods that the seller is not in a position to deliver.
The element of speculation inherent in derivatives trading means that such
transactions fall into the category of Gharar and are therefore prohibited.

- Current Accounts
- All Islamic banks operate current accounts on behalf of their clients:
individuals and business firms.

convenience of customers.

depositor does not gain any share of the profit or any other return in any form.

10. There are two dominant views about current accounts:
The Principles of Islamic Finance
There are two dominant views about current accounts:
1- To treat demand deposits as Amanah. A "Trust Account" instead
of a current account
In such case the bank does not have the authority to use them without
first obtaining the specific permission of the owner of the funds.

11. The Principles of Islamic Finance
2- The other view is to treat demand deposits as Qard Hasan (or interest free
loan).
According to this view the bank is free to utilize these funds at its own risk without return to, or authorization from, the depositors.

28. Ijara
Under the terms of an Ijara transaction the investor, or lessor, would purchase equipment from a manufacturer and lease it on to the company, or lessee, for an Agreed period of time.
During this pre-determined period, the title to the underlying assets will remain in the hands of the lessor, whereas the actual possession and usage of the asset would be for the benefit of the lessee.

30. Over the life of the asset, the lessee will pay pre-agreed rentals to the lessor at a frequency mutually agreed upon by the two parties.
During the life of the asset the risk of ownership remains with the lessor, while the lessee is responsible for use of the asset.

31. Important differences between a conventional lease and Ijara :
In a conventional lease arrangement penalties will be incurred for late payment of an installment, which are stated as a percentage of the total. As this equates to an interest payment, it is prohibited under Shariah.
Under shari'ah, original agreements can not be altered to reflect rescheduling. This can be done only in cases of mutual agreement to cancel the old agreement and to draw up a new one.
Under conventional lease contract the lessee is responsible to insure the leased asset, where in an Islamic lease contract, the lessor holds the responsibility of paying the insurance since he owns the leased asset.

33. Salam
Salam is a sale whereby the seller undertakes to supply some specific goods to the Buyer at a future date in exchange for an advanced price fully paid on the spot.
The permissibility of Salam was an exception to the general rule that prohibits forward sales. For that, it was subjected to some strict conditions.

34. These conditions are as follows:
The payment of the price by the buyer should be at the time of effecting the sale.
2. Such sale is permissible only in the commodities whose quality and quantity can be specified exactly. For example, precious stones cannot be sold on the basis of Salam, because every piece of precious stone is normally different from the other.
3. It cannot be effected on a commodity whose supply is not certain. For example, if the seller undertakes to supply rice or wheat of a particular field, or the fruit of a particular tree, the Salam will not be valid.

35. 4. The quality and quantity of the commodity sought to be sold by Salam must be fully specified. The exact date and place of delivery must be specified in the contract
5. It is not permissible for the buyer of a Salam commodity to sell it before receiving it because that is similar to the prohibited sale of debts before holding.

36. Usage of Salam:
Salam sale has been found suitable for the finance of agricultural operations.
It is also used to finance commercial and industrial activities, especially phases prior to production and export of commodities and that is by purchasing them on Salam and marketing them at a profit.

37. The Salam sale is also used by banks in financing craftsmen and
small producers by supplying them with inputs of production as a
Salam capital in exchange for some of their commodities to remarket.
The scope of Salam sale is large enough to cover the needs of
various people such as farmers, industrialists, contractors or traders.
It can cover the finance of operational costs and capital goods.

38. Istisna’a
Istisna’a is the second kind of sale where a commodity is transacted before it comes into existence. It entails ordering a manufacturer to manufacture specific goods for the purchaser. If the manufacturer undertakes to manufacture the goods for him, the transaction of Istisna’a comes into existence.
It is necessary for the validity of Istisna’a that:
The price is fixed with the consent of both parties.
B. The specification of the commodity intended to be manufactured is fully settled between them.

39. The contract of Istisna’a creates a moral obligation on the
manufacturer to manufacture the goods, but before he starts the
work ,any one of the parties may cancel the contract after giving
notice to the other.
However, after the manufacturer has started the work, the contract
cannot be cancelled unilaterally.
In Istisna’a, the party placing the order has the right to retract if
the commodity does not conform to the specification demanded.
In Istisna’a the price could be in advance or in installments or
deferred but the time of payment should be fixed.

40. Istisna’a Financing

Client

41. Usage Of Istisna:
Istisna can be used for providing the facility of financing in certain
transactions, especially in the housing finance.
It is not necessary that the financier himself constructs the house.
He can enter into a parallel contract of Istisna with a third party,
or may hire the services of a contractor. In order to secure the
payments of installments, the bank , as a security, may keep the
title deeds of the house or land, or any other property , until the
client pays the last installment.
The instrument of Istisna may also be used for project
financing on similar lines.
