What is a Halal Mortgage?

What is a Halal Mortgage?

As per Islamic requirements in respect to financing, Manzil’s relationship with the customer is a relation of a seller to a buyer for Murabaha or a partner for Musharaka, and not a lender to a borrower as it is in conventional lending.

A lender lends money and is repaid with more money (i.e. interest which is prohibited from a Shariah point of view), while Manzil finances the transaction through buy and sell activities or a partnership, so that there is a profit on the transaction, and not interest (Riba).

What makes it Halal?

Interest-Free (No Riba)

Under Islamic law, Riba (or interest) is prohibited as it's an exploitative arrangement that keeps the poor stuck with ever-growing debts while the rich increase their wealth without creating any extra value.

Islamic Compliant Transactions

Our investment, finance and mortgage products are based on Shariah compliant underlying principles including Murabaha (cost plus sale), and Musharaka (partnership).

Shariah Governance

Three layers of Shariah governance:

  1. Internal Shariah compliance function

  2. Active three-member Shariah Supervisory Board

  3. Independent external Shariah Auditor

Clear & Transparent Contracts

Contracts are fair, clear, and transparent. Both regulatory and Shariah compliance requirements have been reviewed by our legal and Shariah teams to ensure relevant compliance. Terms are laid up front in clear and simple language.

How is Halal Financing different?

How is Halal Financing different?

There is a misconception amongst the general public that Islamic finance is the same as conventional, simply because both specify the finance cost as a percentage. This is a huge misnomer because using a percentage is just a method of pricing. What is most important is not the use of the percentage, but rather what such a percentage represents.

This is a huge misnomer because using a percentage is just a method of pricing. What is most important is not the use of the percentage, but rather what such a percentage represents.

For example:

For example:

A car dealer can buy a car for $1,000 and sell it for $1,200 making a profit of $200, which can be expressed as 20%. On the other hand, a person can lend someone a $1,000 dollars and demand that the borrower pays it back as $1,200, thus making a 20% interest.

The difference between the two scenarios, from a Shariah point of view, is that the 20% made from selling the car is a permissible profit (as it involves taking risk of ownership in the items being sold), while the 20% interest on a loan is the pure definition of prohibited Riba (where the lender did not put any work or take on any risk to earn such increase).
