Prepared By:Product Development and Shariah Compliance Department
• Ijarah is a term of Islamic Fiqh
• Literally, it means “To give something on rent”
• The term “Ijarah” is used in two situations:
1. It means ‘To employ the services of a person on wages’ e.g. “A” hires a porter at the airport to carry his luggage
2. Another type of Ijarah relates to paying rent for use of an asset or property defined as “LAND” in Islamic Economics
Ijarah
• Ijarah is an Islamic alternative of Leasing.
• Leasing backed by an acceptable contract is an
acceptable transaction under Shariah.
• The question of whether or not the transaction
of leasing is Shariah compliant depends on the
terms and conditions of the contract.
• Several characteristics of conventional
agreements may not conform to Shariah thus
making the transaction un-Islamic and thereby
invoking a prohibition.
Ijarah as a mode of financing
• Risk and rewards of ownership lies with the owner i.e. any loss to the asset beyond the control of the lessee should be borne by the Lessor.
• Late payment penalty cannot be charged to the income of the Lessor.
• Lease and Sale agreement should be separate and non contingent.

Ijarah as a mode of financing
Rules governing Ijarah
• Rules governing Ijarah are similar to the
rules governing sale.
• Because in both cases something is transferred from one person to another
The only difference is:
• In case of sale, title of property is transferred
to Buyer
• In case of Ijarah, title remain with the Lessor
• Only the use of the property is transferred to
Lessee
Ijarah
1. Leasing is a contract where the owner of an
asset transfers its use to another person against
an agreed price.
2. However, ownership of the leased asset remains
with the Lessor
Rules of Ijarah
3. Since ownership of the leased asset remains
with the Lessor, all rights and liabilities relating
to ownership are borne by the Lessor.
All rights and liabilities relating to use are borne
by the Lessee e.g. “A” gives his house to
“B” on rent.Property taxes are to be borne by
the owner. Water tax, electricity bill etc are to
be borne by the Lessee
Rules of Ijarah
4. Subject matter of Lease should be Valuable,
Identified and Quantified.
5. The period of Lease must be determined in
clear terms.
6. The Lessee is responsible for damage to the
asset caused by fraud or negligence.
7. Any damage to the asset not caused by the
Lessee’s neglect, is to be borne by the Lessor.
Rules of Ijarah
8. Normal maintenance is Lessee’s responsibility
9. Lease rentals for the entire lease period must
be fixed at the time of Lease Agreement;
a) Different amounts of rents can be fixed for
different periods, but they must be known.
b) The rent may be tied to a known benchmark,
acceptable to both the parties.
Rules of Ijarah
10.The Lessor cannot increase the rent unilaterally
11.The Lessor may receive the rent in advance, but
such payment should be recorded as an Advance
rental. Balance Sheet should reflect this payment
as Liability, since rent can be received only for
use of an asset.
Rules of Ijarah
12.The Lease period will start when the asset has
been delivered to the Lessee
- in a usable condition
- whether or not the Lessee has started using it
13.If the leased asset is destroyed, the lease will
terminate.
14.If the Lessee is at fault, he is liable to
compensate the Lessor for the loss
Rules of Ijarah
• If the Lessee contravenes any term of the Lease
agreement the Lessor may unilaterally terminate
the agreement
• If there is no contravention, the agreement can
only be terminated by mutual consent
• Conventional Financial Lease agreements give
termination right to Lessor in all cases. This is
contrary to Shariah laws
Termination of Ijarah
Difference b/w Conventional Lease & Ijarah
1. In conventional lease the Lessor has the unilateral right to rescind the lease contract at his sole discretion, which is against the laws of Shariah,
2. Expenses under Ijarah are as follows:
• Lessor-- expenses relating to the corpus of the asset i.e. insurance, accidental repairs etc. will be borne by the lessor
• Lessee- - actual operating/overhead expenses related to running the asset will be borne by the lessee
Ijarah
Difference b/w Conventional Lease & Ijarah
3. Two contracts into one contract is not permissible in Shariah therefore, we cannot have the agreement of hire and purchase into one agreement, only we can undertake/promise to purchase the leased asset.
4. In conventional lease the lease starts even before the existence of assets, which is also not permissible in Shariah.
5. Penalty income is charged for late payments in Conventional lease.
