Risk management is important to Islamic financing.   Devout Muslims find traditional mortgages difficult. Unequally shared risk and interest are problems.

The  Ijara-wa-Iqtina (lease and ownership) process tackles these issues. This is a rent-to-own agreement. The person who lives in the house is abiding by sharia-compliant principles.

How This Kind of Islamic Financing Works

First off, a trust is established. The client supplies a down payment. This amount is the first rental payment. That’s how the process avoids risk and riba.

An Ijara loan allows clients to save their money and take over ownership of the property from the trust.

Socially Responsible
