Ijarah contract:
Ijarah is a lease agreement under which a certain asset is leased out by the lessor to a lessee
against specific rent or rental for a fixed period. Ijarah contract is used to finance lease for items
such as real estates, buildings, equipments, machineries, computers, motor vehicles, and other
goods; except the things that are haram or prohibited in Islam. Also the things that cannot be
used without consuming cannot be leased out e.g. money, edibles, fuel, etc. Two fundamental
principles of Islamic finance are:
It has to be asset-based financing: The first fundamental principle of Shariah is that
as opposed to conventional financial dealing, profit is generated when something
having intrinsic utility is sold or offered for use. Money has no intrinsic value. As
such dealing in money cannot generate profit unless converted into real assets.
There has to be an element of risk: The second basic element of Shariah is that one
cannot claim a profit or fee for a property/transaction, the risk of which was never
borne by him.
Conventional lease
It is a process by which a firm can obtain the use of a certain fixed assets for which it must pay
a series of contractual, periodic, tax deductible payments. The lessee is the receiver of the
services or the assets under the lease contract and the lessor is the owner of the assets.
the ownership of the asset but the right to use the asset is given to the lessee for an agreed period
of time in return for a series of payments paid by the lessee to the lessor.
Ijarah and conventional lease both are types of lease, and are two similar concepts. However,
there are some specific prohibitions which render conventional lease to be forbidden under
Shariah. Following characteristics were studied to find the differences and similarities in both
types of leasing contracts:
Risk bearer: After the agreement on lease contract, the risk of ownership lies with
whom?
Starting time for rental obligation: When would the rental obligation start, after the
/bargain price?
Asset has value upon completion of leased period: Does asset hold value upon
Effect of premature termination: Are all the obligations that are still executory on
Sale and lease back as one transaction: Could sale and lease back be completed
FINDINGS
After comprehensive review of the collected article and analysis of literature the findings are as
follows:
Ownership:
companies etc.) retains the ownership of the asset throughout the term of the contracts.
Risk bearer:
Ijarah: As Ijarah is an asset based contract, and lessor or mu`jir has the ownership of the
asset, therefore all the ownership related rights and liabilities lie with the mu`jir and mustajir
is responsible for all the usage related rights and liabilities. Any loss or harm caused by
factors beyond the control of the Mustajir lessee shall be borne by the Muajjir.
Conventional lease: The lessor assumes and manages the risk of the asset.
Conventional lease: In conventional lease the profit is for money invested in the property/
machinery.
Valuable use:
Conventional lease: Asset to be leased must have a valuable use; things having no usufruct
cannot be leased.
amount in case of delays in payment of the rentals since it is considered Riba. Islamic
scholars have found a solution customer could be asked to pay a certain amount to charity.
Conventional lease: The bank charges a certain amount as a penalty for late payment.
Continuation of lease rentals in case of total loss or theft of asset:
Ijarah: If the leased asset is lost or stolen the Islamic bank does not charge the lease rental
because in the Islamic system, rent is consideration for usage of the leased asset, and if
the asset has been stolen or destroyed, the concept of rental becomes void.
Conventional lease: If the leased asset is stolen or destroyed, the conventional lease
company or bank continues charging the lease rent till the settlement of the Insurance
claim.
Conventional lease: In conventional lease the asset is insured through insurance companies
Financing for:
Ijarah: It provides financing for tangible assets such as property, machinery, vehicles etc.
Time period:
Ijarah: Ijarah is commonly used for long and medium term fixed asset financing, project
lessees commitment:
Ijarah: Basic rule for Ijarah financing is that the leased asset be used productively and in
Securitization of asset:
Ijarah: The mu`jir can sell the asset to a third party, as he is the owner of the asset. And all
the rights and obligations will then be on part of the third party with regard to the purchased
Conventional lease: Leased item cannot be sold to another person by the lessor but lessee
Repossession of an asset:
Ijarah: There cant be two contracts in one contract. Since the purpose of purchase bargain
option is entirely different than the purpose of transferring the usufructs of an asset.
Inserting the clause of purchase bargain option serves the purpose of another tract. On the
one hand it allows the lessee to avail the usufructs of the leased asset and on the other hand it
also gives the right to the lessee to purchase the same leased asset, which is not allowed in
Shariah.
Conventional Lease: The lease must not contain an option to purchase the asset at a bargain
price.
Conventional Lease: The asset must have secondary value after the expiry of the primary
lease term.
Ijarah: A leased asset must have a value upon completion of the agreed leased period.
terminate the Ijarah contract unilaterally. However, if no term is violated then the Ijarah
obligations, notably the obligation to pay rent. The lessor must then instigate legal
proceedings involving the bringing of a claim, where equipment is concerned. Lessee cant
etc. (It is pertinent to indicate in this regard that no charge can be taken against financial
goes up.
Conventional lease: Same is the case with conventional lease, however, some of the
void.
Conventional lease: In conventional leasing the market interest rates are passed on to lessee
Payment in advance:
Ijarah: The rent or any part thereof may be payable in advance before the delivery of the
asset to the lessee, but the amount so collected by the lessor shall remain with him as 'on
account' payment and shall be adjusted towards the rent after its being due.
Conventional Lease: similar situation prevails in conventional leasing.
Compensation:
Ijarah: If the leased asset has totally lost the function for which it was leased, and no repair
is possible, the lease shall terminate on the day on which such loss has been caused.
However, if the loss is caused by the misuse or by the negligence of the lessee, he will be
liable to compensate the lessor for the depreciated value of the asset as it was immediately
Ijarah: From the time of termination, the lessee is not obliged for rental payment
Conventional Lease: On termination of lease contract, all obligations that are still executor
Ijarah: Sale and lease back are allowed, but only as two separate transactions.
Conventional Lease: This transaction involves the sale of the property by one company to
another which in turn leases the same property back to the original seller.
Determinant of rent:
Ijarah: Rent is determined by market given forces. In practice, the market rate of interest is
used to determine the rental rate, although this is not explicitly stated.
Conventional Lease: Lessors consider market related forces while scheduling lease
payments. The market rate of interest provides a basis for lease determination.
Equivalent to a sale:
Ijarah: Leasing differs from sale in the way that it does not transfer the corpus or ownership

In a regular Ijarah model, the customer does not have to pay any money to the Bank for
acquiring the car upon completion of the Ijarah period.
In the Residual Value Ijarah model, the monthly rentals are significantly lower than the regular
Ijarah model because here the customer agrees to pay a certain sum to the Bank for acquiring the
car upon completion of the Ijarah period. The customer also has the option that instead of paying
the Bank and acquiring the car upon completion of the Ijarah period, he can simply return the car
to the Bank.
This model enables the customer to take a car on significantly reduced rental. Customer can also,
depending on his monthly rental payment ability, get a much higher-value car than he can under
the regular Ijarah model.
