AAOFI Standard 30/4/5 • 30/4/5.The commodity (object of monetization) must be sold to a party other than the one from whom it was purchased on deferred payment basis (third party), so as to avoid ‘inah which is strictly prohibited. Moreover, the commodity should not return back to the seller by virtue of prior agreement or collusion between the two parties, or according to tradition. AAOIFI standar 30 on Tawaruq, pg. 526
The sale of wakil to himself/a combination between agency to purchase in the first leg and the purchase contract in the second leg (with the absence of 4a and 4b). Violation of AAOIFI Standard 30/4/7 6 ABC settles amount due to Customer on deferred payment basis based on terms ABC sells commodity to BSASon spot for cash 5 a 4 b Customers sells the commodities to ABC at profit on deferred payment basis 5 b Proceeds delivery ABC Islamic Bank Customer/ Counter Bank Commodity Murabahah House (BSAS) 4 a Onward delivery of commodity ownership certificate 3 b Ownership delivery on behalf of Customer 2 Customer requests ABC to act as agent (wakalah) to buy the commodity from the market and subsequently sells the commodity to the Bank 3 a As an Agent, ABC buys commodity from Broker 1 1 Customer wants to make fixed deposit with ABC, with a fixed return
Violation of AAOFI standar 30/4/6 • 4/6. The contract for purchasing the commodity on deferred payment basis and the contract for selling it for a spot price should not be linked together in such a way that the client looses his right to receive the commodity. Such linking of the two contracts is prohibited whether it is made through stipulation in the documents, acceptance as a normal tradition, or incorporation in the procedures. AAOIFI pg. 256
Cont’: Mistakes 4. Unnecessary Delegation (tawkil) to dispose or to purchase the commodity 5.Concluding both the purchase of commodity and delegation to dispose contract at once
Violation of AAOFI Standard no 30/4/7 • 4/7: The client should not delegate the institution or its agent to sell, on his behalf, a commodity that he purchased from the same institution and, similarly, the institution should not accept such delegation. If however, the regulations do not permit the client to sell the commodity except through the same institution, he may delegate the institution to do so after he, actually or impliedly, receives the commodity. See AAOFI standards, pg. 526.
Cont’.Among the common mistakes 6. The debt obligation is established via customer’s undertaking, not sale contract 7. Non existence of the commodity 8. No real transfer of ownership over the commodity 9. No proper recording, identification and tagging of the commodity 10. Selling price is not known
Conclusion • Among the other Sharīahissues are no identifications of the commodity, no taking ownership prior to sell, charging expensive fee for delivery of the commodity and no observation of the conditions and sequences of the sale transaction which may make it being artificial fancy contract to get liquidity, similar to conventional bank.
