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 theterms 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.

Sale & Leaseback Guidelines
-
8/12/2019 Ijarah 4 Month-Complete
36/62
In Sale and Lease Back (SLB) transaction, Customer
requires finance for an asset already in the ownership
of the Customer.
Ideally SLB transactions should be avoided and this
option should not be offered to the Customer in the
initial interaction as a regular financing solution.
It should be used in exceptional cases and care should
be taken to ensure that the transaction is genuine and
not merely a source of liquidity /overdraft facility or a
substitute of personal financing.
Sale and Lease Back
-

If the leased asset was purchased from the lesseebefore it was leased back to the lessee on the
basis of Ijarah Muntahia Bittamleek, a(reasonable) period of time, between the leasecontract and the time of the sale of the asset tothe lessee, must have expired, to avoid inah.
This period must be long enough (one year as perthe interpretation of MBLs SSB) so that the
leased property or its value could have changed.

A. Financing of Newly Imported Asset
In cases where the Customer has already opened an
LC through another Bank (without Agency Agreement)
and requires funds to retire the LC alongwith Islamic
Lease financing from MBL, SLB mechanism may be
used.
Here it is important to note that the imported asset
belongs to the Customer and not to that Bank,
because in this case the LC opening Bank has just
acted as an agent for the Importer
Therefore, in order to lease the asset, MBL needs to
purchase the asset from the Customer.
