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).
