What is an Islamic Mortgage?
- An Islamic mortgage, also known as Sharia-compliant mortgage, is a home financing option adhering to Islamic finance principles.
- It operates without the concept of interest (riba) and instead involves shared ownership or profit-sharing arrangements.
How Does it Work?
- Ownership: Unlike conventional mortgages where the lender provides funds for the purchase, Islamic mortgages involve shared ownership.
- Purchase Process: The lender purchases the property and then sells it to the buyer at a higher price, which can be paid in installments.
- Profit-sharing: Instead of interest payments, the buyer pays rent on the lender's share of the property. Over time, the buyer's ownership share increases as they make payments.
Key Features:
- No Interest: Islamic mortgages prohibit the payment or receipt of interest (riba), aligning with Islamic finance principles.
- Shared Ownership: The lender and buyer co-own the property until the buyer's payments are complete, fostering a sense of partnership.
- Asset-Backed: Islamic mortgages are asset-backed, meaning the financing is tied to a tangible asset (the property) rather than speculative financial instruments.
Why Consider an Islamic Mortgage?
- Religious Compliance: For Muslims, Islamic mortgages offer a way to finance a home in accordance with Islamic law.
- Ethical Considerations: Some non-Muslims may also prefer Islamic mortgages due to ethical concerns about interest-based financing.
