MURABAHA Murabaha is a particular kind of sale where the seller discloses its cost and profit charged thereon. The price in this sale can be both on spot and deferred.
BANKING MURABAHA The product of Murabaha that is being used in Islamic banking as a mode of finance is something different from the Murabaha used in normal trade . This transaction is concluded with a prior promise to buy, submitted by a person interested in acquiring goods through the institution.
BANKING MURABAHA • It is called Murabaha to the purchase orderer . • It is a bunch of contracts completed in steps and ultimately suffices the financial needs of the client. • The sequence of their execution is extremely important to make the transaction Shariah compliant.
It is a contract wherein the institution, upon request by the customer, purchases a asset from the third party usually a supplier/vendor and resells the same to the customer either against immediate payment or on a deferred payment basis. • BANKING MURABAHA
SCOPE OF MURABAHA As it is a kind of sale, there must be a seller and buyer and some thing that is bought and sold . The institution is the seller and the client is buyer. It cannot be used as a substitute for running finance facility , which provides cash for fulfilling various needs of the client.
SCOPE OF MURABAHA It is a fixed price sale and normally is done for short term. The transaction can be used in order to meet the working capital requirements however it cannot be used to meet liquidity requirements.

STAGES OF MURABAHA PRIOMISE STAGE
CREDIT APPROVAL (under Shariah perspective) Points to Be Considered While Approving Credit It is essential that the transaction between two parties must be genuine , not fictitious and should exclude any prior contractual relationship between the customer and original supplier . It is not permissible to transfer a contract that has been executed before between client and supplier. However revocation of prior contract between the supplier and the client can allow the institution to enter in Murabaha
CREDIT APPROVAL (under Shariah perspective) Points to Be Considered While Approving Credit The Institution must insure that the party from whom the item is bought is a third party and not the customer or his agent . In this manner the transaction can be saved from Bai Inah (Buy Back) which is not allowed in sharia.
CREDIT APPROVAL (under Shariah perspective) • Nature of the Business to be in scope of the Murabaha . Nature of business should be Halal in order to finance it through Murabaha. • Differed payment not permissible in case of Gold, Silver and Currencies. • Cyclical nature of the business

CONTINUED The Client orders the institution to buy certain goods for him and sell him the same after acquiring. The prerequisite is that the goods are not already owned by the client. At this stage the customer promises the institution to buy the goods which were acquired by the institute on his request.
CONTINUED If the supplier is nominated by the client himself, guarantee for good performance can be demanded. An advance payment (called Hamish jiddiyyah) may be received from the customer as a form of security deposit. In case of breach of promise Hamish Jiddiyyah can be used to recover actual damage however it cannot be used for covering the Cost of Funds / Opportunity Cost.
STAGES OF MURABAHA AGENCY STAGE
AGENCY STAGE Agency Agreement is not the condition of the Murabaha if the institution can make direct purchases from the supplier. The financial institution, does not have the expertise to identify the goods and negotiate an efficient price. The customer, however, being in the industry, can do this. The institution therefore appoints him as its Agent (which is also permissible), in the first step of the transaction, to identify and procure the goods on institution behalf.
AGENCY STAGE This is done by execution of Agency Agreement between the institution and the customer. However according to Sharia Perspective it is preferable to appoint the Agent other then customer. If goods are acquired from third party the execution of agency agreement will be between the institution & the third party.
AGENCY STAGE TYPES OF AGENCY AGREEMENT • GLOBAL AGENCY AGREEMENT When the purchase of commodity is not of consistent nature. • SPECIFIC AGENCY AGREEMENT When the purchase of commodity is of consistent nature.

The institution reserves the right to reject the purchases if made other then agreed price.
ACQUIRING POSSESION Change of commodity in the agency agreement can be done with mutual consent. Delay in Supply from the Supplier. Delay in Supply from the supplier in case where specific time was allowed leads to the revocation of agency agreement. In such cases the customer will refund the cost of goods.
ACQUIRING POSSESION Rejection On Ground Of Quality If the customer rejects the goods on ground of inferior quality before the execution of Murabaha, new quality can be acquired through new Murabaha. After execution of Murabaha the bank will not be liable for any discrepancies.

The forms of taking delivery or possession of items differ according to their nature and customs. The item must move from the responsibility of the supplier to the responsibility of the institution .
