• Ijarah is a term of Islamic Fiqh• Literally, it means “To give something on

rent”• The term “Ijarah” is used in two situations:

1. It means ‘To employ the services of a person on wages’ e.g. “A” hires a porter at the airport to carry his luggage

2. Another type of Ijarah relates to paying rent for use of an asset or property defined as “LAND” in Islamic Economics

• 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 the terms 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.

• Risk and rewards of ownership lies with the owner i.e. any loss to the asset beyond the control of the lessee should be borne by the Lessor.

• Late payment penalty cannot be charged to the income of the Lessor.

• Lease and Sale agreement should be separate and non contingent.

Rules governing Ijarah

Page 9: Ijarah mbl

• Rules governing Ijarah are similar to the rules governing sale.

• Because in both cases something is transferred from one person to another

The only difference is:• In case of sale, title of property is transferred

to Buyer• In case of Ijarah, title remain with the Lessor• Only the use of the property is transferred to

Lessee

Page 10: Ijarah mbl

1. Leasing is a contract where the owner of an asset transfers its use to another person against an agreed price.

2. However, ownership of the leased asset remains with the Lessor

Rules of Ijarah

Page 11: Ijarah mbl

3. Since ownership of the leased asset remains with the Lessor, all rights and liabilities relating to ownership are borne by the Lessor. All rights and liabilities relating to use are borne by the Lessee e.g. “A” gives his house to “B” on rent.Property taxes are to be borne by the owner. Water tax, electricity bill etc are to be borne by the Lessee

Rules of Ijarah

Page 12: Ijarah mbl

4. Subject matter of Lease should be Valuable, Identified and Quantified.

5. The period of Lease must be determined in clear terms.

6. The Lessee is responsible for damage to the asset caused by fraud or negligence.

7. Any damage to the asset not caused by the Lessee’s neglect, is to be borne by the Lessor.

Rules of Ijarah

Page 13: Ijarah mbl

8. Normal maintenance is Lessee’s responsibility9. Lease rentals for the entire lease period must

be fixed at the time of Lease Agreement; a) Different amounts of rents can be fixed for

different periods, but they must be known.b) The rent may be tied to a known benchmark,

acceptable to both the parties.

Rules of Ijarah

Page 14: Ijarah mbl

10.The Lessor cannot increase the rent unilaterally11.The Lessor may receive the rent in advance, but

such payment should be recorded as an Advance rental. Balance Sheet should reflect this payment as Liability, since rent can be received only for use of an asset.

Rules of Ijarah

Page 15: Ijarah mbl

12.The Lease period will start when the asset has been delivered to the Lessee

- in a usable condition- whether or not the Lessee has started using it

13.If the leased asset is destroyed, the lease will terminate.

14.If the Lessee is at fault, he is liable to compensate the Lessor for the loss

Rules of Ijarah

Page 16: Ijarah mbl

• If the Lessee contravenes any term of the Lease agreement the Lessor may unilaterally terminate the agreement

• If there is no contravention, the agreement can only be terminated by mutual consent

• Conventional Financial Lease agreements give termination right to Lessor in all cases. This is contrary to Shariah laws

Termination of Ijarah

Page 17: Ijarah mbl

Difference b/w Conventional Lease & Ijarah1. In conventional lease the Lessor has the

unilateral right to rescind the lease contract at his sole discretion, which is against the laws of Shariah,

2. Expenses under Ijarah are as follows:• Lessor-- expenses relating to the corpus of

the asset i.e. insurance, accidental repairs etc. will be borne by the lessor

• Lessee- - actual operating/overhead expenses related to running the asset will be borne by the lessee

Page 18: Ijarah mbl

Difference b/w Conventional Lease & Ijarah3. Two contracts into one contract is not

permissible in Shariah therefore, we cannot have the agreement of hire and purchase into one agreement, only we can undertake/promise to purchase the leased asset.

4. In conventional lease the lease starts even before the existence of assets, which is also not permissible in Shariah.

5. Penalty income is charged for late payments in Conventional lease.
