Ijarah is halal because its follow Quran, sunna and Alejmaa

Waleed has decided to study abroad after three years . So he was wondering what is the best option he got for buying or leasing a car . He has chosen the toyota FJ 2013 basic options silver color automatic gear . So he asked salman what is the best way? buying or leasing a car and Salman said buying a car by a ijarah contract or murabaha contract in KFH since the other islamic banks such as the ahli united bank only got one type of ijarah ( ijarah muntahya bltamleek ) but Ahmed does not agree with Salman and told Waleed that since there isn’t an ijarah contract in NBK you can always take a loan and buy the car or rent a car from a car rental company like Aayan leasing company that follow the islamic way of renting . So Waleed went through each option and these are the results :

(A) KFH “ Ijarah “

The car cost 10000 KD for three years the bank will lease it

to waleed at a total cost 10984 KD . Monthly payments

165 KD , Down payment 1000 kd and the car book value

( 4950 after three years ) .

(B) NBK “ Loan “

In NBK waleed decided to take a loan 10000 KD for three

years with 300 KD monthly payments . The contract is

Without down payment but they offer maintenance for 20

KD each 3 months. Total cost of the loan with interest

10800 with nominal rate 5%.

(C) KFH “Murabaha” contract

The car cost 10000 KD with murabaha contract it will cost

10800 with monthly payments 300 KD for three years

without down payments .

(D) Aayan lessing company

The car cost 10000 KD with down payment 599 KD ,

monthly payment 222 KD for 2 years ,the cost for two

years contract cost 80 KD , the book value for the car after

two years 8000 KD

We conclude that KFH ijarah is the best for

waleed because its has the lowest I nom. and EAR

Company or bank : Nom I : EAR :

KFH ( IJARAH ) 3.906 % 3.977 %

NBK ( Loan ) 6.53 % 6.73 %
