Definitions I
• Dimensions of Islam
-Spiritual, social, economical, political
-Inner and external
-Horizontal (man - man), vertical (man –
god)
• Origin of Islamic economy, finance
and banking
• Islam vs. Muslims

07/12/23 Suyono Dikun Lecture Material @ SADE Research Institute 4


Definitions II
 Maqasid Al-sharia
-falah (human well being) +hayat tayybah (good life)
= Brotherhood, socio-economic justice,
balanced satisfaction of both material
and spiritual life of all human beings

07/12/23 Suyono Dikun Lecture Material @ SADE Research Institute 5


The Vision I
• Human well being is the professed objective
of all societies
• Ghazali: the very objective of the shariah is
to promote the welfare of the people, which
lies in saferguarding their faith, their life, their
intelect, their posterity and their wealth.
Whatever ensures the saferguarding of these
five serves public interest and is desirable

07/12/23 Suyono Dikun Lecture Material @ SADE Research Institute 6


The Vision II
• Ibn al Qayyim: the basis of the shariah is
wisdom and welfare of the people in this
world as well as the hereafter. This welfare
lies in complete justice, mercy, well –
being and wisdom. Anything departs from
justice to oppression, from mercy to
harshness, from welfare to misery, from
wisdom to folly has nothing to do with
sharia

07/12/23 Suyono Dikun Lecture Material @ SADE Research Institute 7


The Reality
• Poverty and ecological disaster
• Injustice and human imbalances
• Wars & violence
• Capitalism/socialism/fascism/welfare
state ?
• OIC – over 1,5B Muslims
• In Europe 15M Muslims
• In the Netherlands – 800K-1.5M Muslims
07/12/23 Suyono Dikun Lecture Material @ SADE Research Institute 8
Negative Results: Clash of
Civilizations
• Samuel Huntington about Muslim era wars
• How to end wars and violence?
• How to end injustice?
• How to end poverty?

07/12/23 Suyono Dikun Lecture Material @ SADE Research Institute 9


Positive Results:

• Exchanges of view
• Mutual cooperation
• Acceptance of critical and logical thinking
• Acceptance of principle of tawhid on
individual level and justice on social level

Islamic Worldview and Strategy
The Worlview The strategy
• Tawhid (Divine Unity) • The Filter Mechanism
• Khilafah (Vicegerency) • The Right Motivation
• Adalah (Justice) • Socio-Economic
Financial Restructing
• Role of the State

07/12/23 Suyono Dikun Lecture Material @ SADE Research Institute 13


13
Tawhid (Divine Unity)
• The foundation and the stone of the
Islamic Faith.
• There are two Arabic words that are important to
know. These are tawhid and shirk. Tawhid means
"declaring God one", while shirk means "associating
partners with God". Thus tawhid is monotheism while
shirk is polytheism or idolatry.
• Tawhid al Rububiyya.
(Tawhid ar-rububiyya thus means declaring
that there is only One who.

07/12/23 Suyono Dikun Lecture Material @ SADE Research Institute 14


14
Tawhid (Divine Unity) II
holds these divine functions of creating
and sustaining the universe).
• Tawhid al Esma al Sifat.
(declaring God one in His names and
attributes).
• Tawhid al Ibada.
(tawhid al-ibada means "declaring God one
through our service“).

07/12/23 Suyono Dikun Lecture Material @ SADE Research Institute 15


15
Khilafah (Vicegerency)
• Universal brotherhood
-All human beings are dependents of god
and the most beloved of them before him
are those who are best to his dependents
• Resources are a trust (Q: 2:229)
• Humble life style
• Human freedom

07/12/23 Suyono Dikun Lecture Material @ SADE Research Institute 16


16
Adalah (Justice)
Establishment of justice and eradication of all
forms of injustice have been stressed in the al
Qur’an as the primary mission of all god’s
Messengares (Q: 57:25) Justice is next to piety
(Q: 5:8) 200 places in the Quran against
injustice
• Need fulfillment
• Respectable source of earning
• Equitable source of earning
• Growth and stability

– Al Qur’an
– Sunna
– Ijma (the dilligent judgment of the scholars
through reasoning and logic)
– Qijas (consensus)

07/12/23 Suyono Dikun Lecture Material @ SADE Research Institute 20


20
Riba
• Prohibition in the Al Qur’an (4 verses)
• -2.275 ex.

of deception through the ignorance of the
goods or price, or false description of the
goods
• Gambling is the form of gharar

22
Zakat
• Religious tax or alms

07/12/23 Suyono Dikun Lecture Material @ SADE Research Institute 23


23
Misconception about IF
• Islamic Finance is essentially communist in
nature
• Without interest there will be no investment
• Allah permitted trading and forbade riba; the
distinction between riba and trade
• There are no alternatives to interest –based
investments
• There is no room for innovation and
development

A Comparison Between Islamic &
Conventional Banking
Features Islamic Banking Conventional Banking

Guarantee of the capital value:


Demand deposits Yes Yes
Investment deposits No Yes

Rate of return on deposits Uncertain, not guaranteed for Certain and guaranteed
investment deposits. Demand
deposits are never remunerated.
Mechanism to regulate final returns Depending on bank performance Irrespective of bank
on deposits / profits from investment performance/profits from
investment

Two Intermediation Models
Two-tier Mudaraba
- Assets and liabilities fully Two windows model
integrated - Bank liabilities are
- Unrestricted Mudaraba divided into 2 windows:
on depositors site demand deposits and
- Restricted Mudaraba on investments deposits
entrepreneurs site - 100% reserve on
- No specific reserve demand deposits
requirments - Investment deposits
used to finance risk
bearing investments

07/12/23 Suyono Dikun Lecture Material @ SADE Research Institute 30


30
Result of the Models: Stability
• Owing to the structure of their balance
sheet and the use of PLS arrangements
Islamic bank are better poised than
conventional banks to absorb external
shocks
• Socially responsible
• Ethically filtered

Islamic Conventional Total

Corporate bond market expanded rapidly post-crisis with total issuance increased from RM9.2 billion in
1995 to RM31.8 billion in 2005.
Bonds as a source of funding for long gestation infrastructure projects – water, toll roads and power.
Variation in structures - Straight bonds, Islamic bonds and structured products such as asset-backed
securities.
Islamic principle securities remained the most favored form of fund raising in order to tap larger pool of
investors thus reducing cost of financing.
For 2006, we expect new corporate bonds issuance worth RM40bln, large portion will be channel to finance
infrastructure projects under 9MP, of which 82% is expected to be in Islamic corporate bonds.

Opportunities & Benefits of Sukuk
The composition of Islamic fixed income securities vs. total private debt securities issued on the

45% of total outstanding PDS.

Islamic debt and the trend to adopt more Shariah compliant principles is likely to continue in the
foreseeable future
The awareness for internationally recognised Shariah principles underscores the deepening of Malaysia’s
Islamic Capital Market
Investors’ level of sophistication and acceptance of international Shariah principles would further
strengthen Malaysia’s position as the center for Islamic Finance

SECTION

CASE STUDY
TANJUNG BIN POWER SDN BHD
(advised by Aseambankers)
Project Background
Tanjung Bin Power Sdn Bhd (“Tanjung Bin”) is a special-purpose company incorporated to
develop, own, operate and maintain a coal-fired power plant (“the Project”)
Tanjung Bin is 90% owned by Malakoff Berhad, Malaysia’s leading Independent Power Producer
(“IPP”).
Tanjung Bin issued a RM5.6 billion Istisna’ Medium Term Notes Programme (“MTN”) mainly to
finance the cost associated with the site acquisition, development, design, construction, to part
finance profit during construction, to finance issuance expenses and for working capital.

Project Details
Owner : Tanjung Bin Power Plant
Type : Coal-fired (baseload plant)
Capacity : 2,100MW
PROJCT BACKGROUND

Location : Tanjung Bin, Johor


Total cost : RM7.9 billion (Estimation)

Structural Considerations

Why Islamic?
 SPV’s proposed business is “halal” in nature and Islamic issuances are well accepted by investors
in Malaysia
 To allow participation of large institutional investors (Islamic & Conventional) resulting in wider
investor base

Why Istisna / Ijarah?


 Concept of Istisna’ (work-in-progress) is well suited for a green field project financing
 Istisna’ MTN was structured to match the work-in-progress and completion of construction
 Upon completion of construction, the Istisna’ was converted into an Ijarah Contract
 A forward lease agreement was incorporated to allow profit payments to be paid to Investors
even during construction stage.
STRUCTURAL CONSIDERATIONS

Structuring and Legal Considerations


 An SPV - Tanjung Bin, was created to facilitate the transaction
 Sale of Assets is a beneficial sale. Assets are held by SPV in “trust” for Investors
 Trustee is the intermediary between Investors and the SPV, which facilitated a 3 party
transaction
 Each drawdown requires execution of a separate Istisna’ Agreement

SEGARI ENERGY VENTURES SDN BHD
(advised by Aseambankers)
Project Background
A financing exercising involving issuance of RM930 million Sukuk Ijarah Notes to refinance
existing RM890.0 million PDS and for working capital purposes
Segari Energy Ventures Sdn Bhd (“Segari”) is a special-purpose company incorporated to
develop, own, operate and maintain a combined cycle gas-fired power plant (“the Project”)
The shareholding of Segari are held by Malakoff Berhad and the Employees Provident Fund Board

Structural Considerations

Why Islamic?
 To allow participation of large institutional Islamic investors resulting in wider investor base and
competitive pricing
 To take advantage of the tax exemption benefit
 Perfect fit for Islamic financing - Segari is a single purpose company which operates a “halal”
business and proceeds are to be used for refinancing and working capital (“halal”)

Why Istisna / Ijarah?


 Segari has tangible Shariah endorsed Assets (power plant) in place
 Assets are leaseable and cashflow generating
 Single drawdown of the Sukuk, allows Segari to refinance its existing facilities. Amortising
structure matches the leasing concept

Structuring and Legal Considerations


 Asset were charged to existing financiers ie; it is not “free of encumbrance”. Segari obtained a
letter of undertaking from the existing lenders to utilise the Assets pending the refinancing
exercise
 The principle of Ijarah Thumma Bai was adopted to incorporating a sale of the asset at the end
of the lease tenure

SENAI DESARU EXPRESSWAY BHD
(advised by Aseambankers)
Project Background
Senai Desaru Expressway Berhad (“Senai”) is a SPV incorporated to undertake the design,
construction, management, operation and maintenance of a 77-km highway in Johor, known as
the Senai-Pasir Gudang-Desaru Expressway (“the Project”) for a 33 year concession period
To finance the construction, Senai raised RM405.0 million ICULS which were placed to Ranhill
Berhad (“Ranhill”) and Islamic Development Bank Infrastructure Fund (“IDB”) and RM1,460
million Islamic Notes. The Notes were raised under the Bai Bithaman Ajil (“BaIDS”) structure
where the Concession Agreement was the Asset for the sale and purchase transaction
The shareholding of Senai are held by various parties, Ranhill and IDB holding the majority
stakes upon conversion of the ICULS.

Structural Considerations

Why Islamic?
 To allow participation of large institutional Islamic investors resulting in wider investor base and
competitive pricing
 Good for Islamic financing - Senai is a single purpose company which operates a “halal” business
and proceeds to be used for halal purposes (i.e construction of highway)

Why BaIDS?
 The mandate for Senai came at a time when BaIDS was the most popular structure to be used
and widely accepted by investors. The education process for new concepts would require time

DEFINITION OF ISLAMIC
PROJECT FINANCING
• A scheme of financing to assist the developer /owner
of a project to complete the project according to
Shari’ah principles.
• Normally, in project finance, the cash flow from project
is the sole source of repayment, usually secured by
project-related assets.
• In conclusion, an Islamic project financing is a scheme
to finance the cost of construction or manufacturing,
as the case may be, whereby the mode and purpose
of financing are Shari’ah compliant.

STRUCTURE PRODUCTS
FOR INFRASTRUCTURE
PROJECTS (BANKING
• PRODUCTS)
Islamic banking products are available and
flexible to support any project financing. Ideally,
the best Islamic contract would be Istisna’
(construction/manufacturing) contract. However,
other modes of financing are useful which include:
– Murabahah
– Tawarruq
– Ijarah
– Sale and lease-back
– Forward lease

07/12/23 Suyono Dikun Lecture Material @ SADE Research Institute 80

MURABAHAH ASSET
FINANCING
• A cost plus sale whereby the financier will purchase asset
from the supplier and will later sell to the contractor

07/12/23 Suyono Dikun Lecture Material @ SADE Research Institute 81

CONT’D
• The purpose of Murabahah financing is to
assist the customer /developer to purchase
“asset” (e.g. raw materials, equipments)
that are needed for the project, whereby
the payment is deferred .
• The customer /developer may elect to pay
the selling pricing either on installment
basis or on bullet payment basis, as the
case may be.

TAWARRUQ (MURABAHAH)
FINANCING
• Tawarruq is a contract to provide cash
facility to the developer to cover some
cash expenses such as fees, salaries, etc.
(The ultimate purpose of tawarruq, unlike
Murabahah, is not to acquire a particular
asset).

CONT’D
• The purpose of sale and lease back
transaction is to refinance the asset of the
customer /developer as well as to obtain
cash facility.
(This structure has been widely used in
many sovereign and corporate issuance of
Sukuk al-Ijarah.)

07/12/23 Suyono Dikun Lecture Material @ SADE Research Institute 90


90
FORWARD LEASE
• This contract is known as
– Ijarah Mausufah fi al –Dhimmah
• (lease on assets whose specifications are made known but not
identified).
– Ijarah Mudafah ila al-Mustaqbal
• (lease which is linked to future delivery )

• This contract could perfectly replace the Istisna’ financing. In


a nutshell, the lessee will start paying the rental to the lessor
through the asset is still under the construction. In the case
of non-delivery, all the advance rental shall be refunded to
the lessee. The rental payment is used to finance the
construction cost.
07/12/23 Suyono Dikun Lecture Material @ SADE Research Institute 91
91
ISTISNA’ FINANCING
• Istisna’ is a contract of sale of specified items to be
manufactured or constructured, with an obligation on
the part of the manufacturer or builder (contractor) to
deliver them upon completion
• By and large, it has been said that Istisna’ is a
departure from the general principle of sale i.e. selling
something which is not existed
• Some scholars approved Istisna’ on the basis of
Istihsan i.e. a departure from a principle of law which
is obvious to another which is hidden but more
appealing (Hanafis methodology)

07/12/23 Suyono Dikun Lecture Material @ SADE Research Institute 92


92
CONT’D
• Nevertheless, there are some reports from
the Prophet (PBUH) to the effect of Istisna’
:
– Ordered someone to ‘prepare’ a ring for him
(the Prohet)
– Ordered someone to build the ‘minbar’ for the
Madina Mosque

07/12/23 Suyono Dikun Lecture Material @ SADE Research Institute 93


93
ISTISNA’ AND IJARAH (HIRE
CONTRACT)
• While Ijarah would require the hirer to
supply the raw material to the hiree
(worker / contractor) to work on, Istisna’
would require the contractor to supply both
the raw materials and the work.
• Compare with maintenance contract and
BOT-Build, Offer and Transfer.

Awards the concession

Notes:
1. The contract of BOT is based on Istisna’
2. The payment of the Istisna’ sale is in kind i.e. right to
collect the toll (for example) .

95
PARALLEL ISTISNA’ (AL-
ISTISNA’ AL MUWAZI)
• This is based on two parallel contracts of Istisna
• In the first, the Islamic Financial Institution (IFI)
acting as a manufacture / contractor concludes a
contract with the customer (who is the ultimate
purchaser/buyer)
• In the second contract, the IFI acts in the
capacity of purchaser and concludes another
contract with (ultimate) manufacturer/contractor
to acquire the same item as per the first contract.

RM31.8 billion in 2005.


Bonds as a source of funding for long gestation infrastructure projects – water, toll roads and power.
Variation in structures - Straight bonds, Islamic bonds and structured products such as asset-backed securities.
Islamic principle securities remained the most favored form of fund raising in order to tap larger pool of
investors thus reducing cost of financing.
For 2006, we expect new corporate bonds issuance worth RM40bln, large portion will be channel to finance
infrastructure projects under 9MP, of which 82% is expected to be in Islamic corporate bonds.

Islamic Capital Market – Conducive Environment

The Malaysian Government ( through the Capital Market Masterplan launched in 2001), has taken
steps to put in place the necessary infrastructure and policies to drive the development of the Islamic
Debt Market. Among the measures taken are as follows:-

Legal and Regulatory


(i) The appointment of the SC as the single approving authority for Islamic PDS.
(ii) The formulation of specific guidelines for Islamic PDS.
(iii) Single Shariah Advisory Council established for the SC and the Central Bank.

Fiscal Incentives
(i) Stamp duty exemption for Islamic Bonds.
(ii) Expenses incurred in issuance of Islamic Securities are eligible for tax deduction over 5 year.
EVOLUTION OF PROJECT FINANCE

(iii) The sale of assets are not deemed as a sale for tax purposes (No RPGT).
(iv) Refinancing of conventional loans using the Islamic Bank Market is exempted from stamp duty.

Other Measures Introduced


(i) The issuance of Islamic debt securities in the global market, for example the USD600 Million
Malaysian Sukuk Ijara issued in 2002.
(ii)  Issuance of new products such as Sukuk musyarakah, sukuk mudharabah, Islamic structured
products and the introduction of the Islamic index

CASE STUDY
TANJUNG BIN POWER SDN BHD
(advised by Aseambankers)
Project Background
Tanjung Bin Power Sdn Bhd (“Tanjung Bin”) is a special-purpose company incorporated to
develop, own, operate and maintain a coal-fired power plant (“the Project”)
Tanjung Bin is 90% owned by Malakoff Berhad, Malaysia’s leading Independent Power Producer
(“IPP”).
Tanjung Bin issued a RM5.6 billion Istisna’ Medium Term Notes Programme (“MTN”) mainly to
finance the cost associated with the site acquisition, development, design, construction, to part
finance profit during construction, to finance issuance expenses and for working capital.

Project Details
Owner : Tanjung Bin Power Plant
Type : Coal-fired (baseload plant)
Capacity : 2,100MW
PROJCT BACKGROUND

Location : Tanjung Bin, Johor


Total cost : RM7.9 billion (Estimation)

Structural Considerations

Why Islamic?
 SPV’s proposed business is “halal” in nature and Islamic issuances are well accepted by investors
in Malaysia
 To allow participation of large institutional investors (Islamic & Conventional) resulting in wider
investor base

Why Istisna / Ijarah?


 Concept of Istisna’ (work-in-progress) is well suited for a green field project financing
 Istisna’ MTN was structured to match the work-in-progress and completion of construction
 Upon completion of construction, the Istisna’ was converted into an Ijarah Contract
 A forward lease agreement was incorporated to allow profit payments to be paid to Investors
even during construction stage.
STRUCTURAL CONSIDERATIONS

Structuring and Legal Considerations


 An SPV - Tanjung Bin, was created to facilitate the transaction
 Sale of Assets is a beneficial sale. Assets are held by SPV in “trust” for Investors
 Trustee is the intermediary between Investors and the SPV, which facilitated a 3 party
transaction
 Each drawdown requires execution of a separate Istisna’ Agreement

SEGARI ENERGY VENTURES SDN BHD
(advised by Aseambankers)

Structural Considerations

Why Islamic?
 To allow participation of large institutional Islamic investors resulting in wider investor base and
competitive pricing
 To take advantage of the tax exemption benefit
 Perfect fit for Islamic financing - Segari is a single purpose company which operates a “halal”
business and proceeds are to be used for refinancing and working capital (“halal”)

Why Istisna / Ijarah?


 Segari has tangible Shariah endorsed Assets (power plant) in place
 Assets are leaseable and cashflow generating
 Single drawdown of the Sukuk, allows Segari to refinance its existing facilities. Amortising
STRUCTURAL CONSIDERATIONS

structure matches the leasing concept

Structuring and Legal Considerations


 Asset were charged to existing financiers ie; it is not “free of encumbrance”. Segari obtained a
letter of undertaking from the existing lenders to utilise the Assets pending the refinancing
exercise
 The principle of Ijarah Thumma Bai was adopted to incorporating a sale of the asset at the end
of the lease tenure

SENAI DESARU EXPRESSWAY BHD
(advised by Aseambankers)
Project Background
Senai Desaru Expressway Berhad (“Senai”) is a SPV incorporated to undertake the design,
construction, management, operation and maintenance of a 77-km highway in Johor, known as
the Senai-Pasir Gudang-Desaru Expressway (“the Project”) for a 33 year concession period
To finance the construction, Senai raised RM405.0 million ICULS which were placed to Ranhill
Berhad (“Ranhill”) and Islamic Development Bank Infrastructure Fund (“IDB”) and RM1,460
million Islamic Notes. The Notes were raised under the Bai Bithaman Ajil (“BaIDS”) structure
where the Concession Agreement was the Asset for the sale and purchase transaction
The shareholding of Senai are held by various parties, Ranhill and IDB holding the majority
stakes upon conversion of the ICULS.

Structural Considerations

Why Islamic?
 To allow participation of large institutional Islamic investors resulting in wider investor base and
competitive pricing
 Good for Islamic financing - Senai is a single purpose company which operates a “halal” business
and proceeds to be used for halal purposes (i.e construction of highway)

Why BaIDS?
 The mandate for Senai came at a time when BaIDS was the most popular structure to be used
and widely accepted by investors. The education process for new concepts would require time

DEFINITION OF ISLAMIC
PROJECT FINANCING
• A scheme of financing to assist the developer /owner
of a project to complete the project according to
Shari’ah principles.
• Normally, in project finance, the cash flow from project
is the sole source of repayment, usually secured by
project-related assets.
• In conclusion, an Islamic project financing is a scheme
to finance the cost of construction or manufacturing,
as the case may be, whereby the mode and purpose
of financing are Shari’ah compliant.

STRUCTURE PRODUCTS
FOR INFRASTRUCTURE
PROJECTS (BANKING
• PRODUCTS)
Islamic banking products are available and
flexible to support any project financing. Ideally,
the best Islamic contract would be Istisna’
(construction/manufacturing) contract. However,
other modes of financing are useful which include:
– Murabahah
– Tawarruq
– Ijarah
– Sale and lease-back
– Forward lease

FINANCING
• A cost plus sale whereby the financier will purchase asset
from the supplier and will later sell to the contractor

07/12/23 Suyono Dikun Lecture Material @ SADE Research Institute 163
163
CONT’D
• The purpose of Murabahah financing is to
assist the customer /developer to purchase
“asset” (e.g. raw materials, equipments)
that are needed for the project, whereby
the payment is deferred .
• The customer /developer may elect to pay
the selling pricing either on installment
basis or on bullet payment basis, as the
case may be.

TAWARRUQ (MURABAHAH)
FINANCING
• Tawarruq is a contract to provide cash
facility to the developer to cover some
cash expenses such as fees, salaries, etc.
(The ultimate purpose of tawarruq, unlike
Murabahah, is not to acquire a particular
asset).

• The purpose of sale and lease back
transaction is to refinance the asset of the
customer /developer as well as to obtain
cash facility.
(This structure has been widely used in
many sovereign and corporate issuance of
Sukuk al-Ijarah.)

07/12/23 Suyono Dikun Lecture Material @ SADE Research Institute 172


172
FORWARD LEASE
• This contract is known as
– Ijarah Mausufah fi al –Dhimmah
• (lease on assets whose specifications are made known but not
identified).
– Ijarah Mudafah ila al-Mustaqbal
• (lease which is linked to future delivery )

• This contract could perfectly replace the Istisna’ financing. In


a nutshell, the lessee will start paying the rental to the lessor
through the asset is still under the construction. In the case
of non-delivery, all the advance rental shall be refunded to
the lessee. The rental payment is used to finance the
construction cost.
07/12/23 Suyono Dikun Lecture Material @ SADE Research Institute 173
173
ISTISNA’ FINANCING
• Istisna’ is a contract of sale of specified items to be
manufactured or constructured, with an obligation on
the part of the manufacturer or builder (contractor) to
deliver them upon completion
• By and large, it has been said that Istisna’ is a
departure from the general principle of sale i.e. selling
something which is not existed
• Some scholars approved Istisna’ on the basis of
Istihsan i.e. a departure from a principle of law which
is obvious to another which is hidden but more
appealing (Hanafis methodology)

07/12/23 Suyono Dikun Lecture Material @ SADE Research Institute 174


174
CONT’D
• Nevertheless, there are some reports from
the Prophet (PBUH) to the effect of Istisna’
:
– Ordered someone to ‘prepare’ a ring for him
(the Prohet)
– Ordered someone to build the ‘minbar’ for the
Madina Mosque

07/12/23 Suyono Dikun Lecture Material @ SADE Research Institute 175


175
ISTISNA’ AND IJARAH (HIRE
CONTRACT)
• While Ijarah would require the hirer to
supply the raw material to the hiree
(worker / contractor) to work on, Istisna’
would require the contractor to supply both
the raw materials and the work.
• Compare with maintenance contract and
BOT-Build, Offer and Transfer.

Notes:
1. The contract of BOT is based on Istisna’
2. The payment of the Istisna’ sale is in kind i.e. right to

PARALLEL ISTISNA’ (AL-
ISTISNA’ AL MUWAZI)
• This is based on two parallel contracts of Istisna
• In the first, the Islamic Financial Institution (IFI)
acting as a manufacture / contractor concludes a
contract with the customer (who is the ultimate
purchaser/buyer)
• In the second contract, the IFI acts in the
capacity of purchaser and concludes another
contract with (ultimate) manufacturer/contractor
to acquire the same item as per the first contract.
