Financing
o Islamic Banking Act 1983: “An Islamic
banking business means banking business
whose aims and operations do not involve
any element which is not approved by the
religion of Islam”
o Definition by General Secretariat of OIC:
“An Islamic Bank is a financial institution
whose statutes, rules and procedures
expressly state its commitment to the
principles of Shariah and to the banning
of the receipt and payment of interest on
any of its operation”

Conventional vs Islamic – Comparison
• Business framework. While Islamic finance functions
and operates based on Shariah principles,
conventional financing is secular in nature and free
from any religious principles.
• Prohibition of Riba. Riba or interest taking or
charging is strictly prohibited in Islamic financing;
while in conventional system interest is the backbone
for all banking transactions whether in deposit or
financing products.
Conventional vs Islamic – Comparison
• Equity financing and risk sharing.
• Customer relation. Partners or the investors vs creditors and
debtors.
• Penalty on default.
• Restrictions in business areas.
• Islamic Finance instruments are based on innovations and
potential number of products are unlimited. Rule of original
permissibility.
MAIN FEATURES OF ISLAMIC BANKING &
FINANCE
• Riba-free: money does nor create money – need trade/real economic
activities
• Gharar-free: contractual uncertainties must be avoided
• No trading/investment in prohibited commodities – e.g. liquor, pork
• Main contractual relationship is not lender-borrower – but trading, leasing
or partner relationship
• Trade profit or profit & loss sharing; not premium/interest imposed on
principal loan/deposit
11
RIBA
• Riba – prohibited in many Quranic verses and sayings of the Prophet
s.a.w.
• Meaning: riba is every excess in return of which no reward or
equivalent counter value is paid, in short, every unjust enrichment is
riba
• In contemporary finance, riba normally occurs in:
• All interest-based lending activities
• Fixed return on deposits in conventional banking
• Forward Forex, etc.
12
GHARAR
• Meaning: has a range of negative connotations, such as, uncertainty,
deception, risk, hazard, ignorance etc.
• If there is gharar, the contracting party/ies do not really understand the
attributes / consequence of the contract
• Under Islamic law, gharar is prohibited because its existence in the contract
may deny the parties of equal bargaining power and they cannot make
informed decisions; or if there is risks on deliverability of the object of the
contract
13
MAIN CONTRACTUAL PRINCIPLES
• General freedom of the parties to enter into contracts and make
contractual terms, as long as:
• the parties consented: and
• they do not contravene any other Shari`ah provisions
• This principle is known as freedom to contract, which is based on:
• Surah al Nisa’:29, and;
• Saying of Prophet: “Muslims are bound by their (contractual)
stipulations except those that prohibit the permissible or permit the
prohibited”
14
Cont’d…
• Another important contractual principle is the binding nature of
contracts once concluded:
• Surah al Al Maidah(5:1)
• In Islamic contracts, the certainty of performance of the contractual
obligations (e.g. delivery of goods and payment of price), as well as
elimination of any avoidable future disputes between the contracting
parties are given high priority
