Regulation of Takaful Business
August 31, 2018A Case for Compounding
October 23, 2018There are four major players in the US for Sharia Compliant Financing. Riba free or interest free does not mean there is no cost to borrowing. These finance companies need to be compensated or they won’t stay in business. In order to refrain from traditional interest based mortgages, each one has developed some flavor of either lease to own system, referred to Islamic Finance as Diminishing Musharakah or a cost plus financing referred as Murabaha.
Each company has its own model, fees, service areas, eligibility requirements, and application process. All claim to be “shariah-compliant” based on opinions of scholars. The source of funding is usually a sharia compliant agreement with government entities such as Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae. They might also use their own capital as well. Do your homework and learn about the programs before considering how and where to finance your home.
