IJARAH IN QURAN AND SUNNAH • Ijarah is also validated by the Quran, Sunnah, and ijmah.
PROCESS OF IJARAH • The client” Lessee” contact the bank “Lessor” with the request for ijarah leasing and enters into a promise for lease contract. It includes the offer and acceptance by the client. • The bank buys the asset required for ijarah and gets title of ownership from the manufacturer. • The bank makes payment to the manufacturer.
The bank leases the asset to the client after execution of the ijarah contract which takes place after the client gets the delivery of the asset. • The lessee makes periodic fixed rental payments according to the contract of ijarah • At the end of contract period the lessee can purchase the asset from the bank under a separate sale agreement at a nominal price
