TOPIC 6: FINANCING II
PERSONAL
FINANCING
• Unlike other retail financing facilities such as home and
automobile that involve an asset as the underlying subject
matter as discussed earlier, personal financing on the
other hand, in most cases does not implicate any asset
acquisition
• Rather, it fulfils the financing needs of customers who
require cash or liquidity for various reasons and purposes
such as education, medical, performing pilgrimage,
marriage, payment of debt among others
• To address the diverse clientele needs and expectations,
many Islamic banks offer personal financing products
structured based on bayʿ al-ʿīnah and tawarruq contracts
ʿĪNAH PERSONAL
FINANCING
• bayʿ al-ʿīnah can be defined as a sale with immediate
repurchase
• The Resolution of the SAC-BNM in 2012 has introduced
changes to the documentation of the bay’ al-’īnah contract
• Beginning 2013, the inter-conditionality clause in the ʿīnah
contract will no longer be made effective; thus, making the
sale and buy-back transaction independent of each other
• As a result, when a bank sells an asset to a customer on a
credit basis, the bank cannot make a condition for the
customer to sell the asset back to the bank
• This gives the customer the freedom to exercise his
ownership right on the asset
• Theoretically, the customer can sell the asset to a third party
if he wishes, although in practice, it is not likely to take place
ʿĪNAH PERSONAL
FINANCING
TAWARRUQ PERSONAL
FINANCING
• Tawarruq or commodity murābaḥah can be defined as an
arrangement that involves the purchase of an asset based
on the musāwamah (supplier does not disclose its cost or
markup) or murābaḥah (supplier sells at a markup and
discloses it), and the subsequent sale of the same asset to
a third party in order to raise cash
