Because of this rule, the most used instruments of Shari\u2019ah-compliant-funding are profit and loss sharing schemes called musharaka.

It is considered both halal (permitted) and Shari\u2019ah-compliant.<\/p><p>A basic murabaha agreement gives the small business owner the resources they need to develop their business. These resources are assets they can put to work in the business, such as plant and machinery or inventory. Under a murabaha transaction, the financial institution is not permitted to charge interest on the funds they provide. Instead, the provider simply purchases an asset of the business and then sells the asset back to the business owner, along with a single additional charge. This single fixed fee is pre-agreed between both lender and borrower.<\/p><p>If a small business defaults on repayments, late payment charges are allowed. However, the financial institution must distribute the amount of any late payment charges received \u2014 after deduction of its actual costs \u2014 to any charitable foundations that may be selected at the discretion of the Shari\u2019ah Supervisory Board.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9f80cfe question elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9f80cfe\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What is Ijarah?<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-447fada answer elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"447fada\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><i>Ijarah<\/i> is a lending arrangement often used for the purchase of business equipment, property, or other hard business assets. <i>Ijarah <\/i>permits the financial institution to earn a profit by charging leasing rentals to the borrower instead of lending money and earning interest.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7487115 question elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7487115\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Is Islamic banking interest free?<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-be1f271 answer elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"be1f271\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Yes.
