What is Ijara Mountahia Bi Tamlik Aqar, and how does it work?
Real estate Ijara Mountahia Bi Tamlik is a contract whereby the bank makes a property available to the client for a set period in exchange for rent payments. This contract may include an agreement to sell (promise to sell) or a purchase option.
The practice of Ijara as a financing technique is similar to leasing, but there are some important differences.
The property chosen by the client and subject to the contract can be (new or existing individual or collective real estate), commercial premises or land.
- The client chooses the property to be acquired through this financing method and submits a financing request to the bank.
- The bank then purchases the property and leases it to the client for a known and agreed rent.
- At the end of the leasing period, the bank transfers ownership of the property to the client through an independent sale contract from the initial Ijara contract, thereby making the client the owner of the property.
