Exploring Sharia-Compliant Finance
Sharia-compliant finance is structured to comply with the principles of Sharia, which prohibit the payment or receipt of interest (riba). Instead, these financial solutions are based on principles of profit-and-loss sharing, risk-sharing, and asset-backed financing, promoting equitable distribution of risks and rewards while adhering to Sharia Law.
Empire Global Finance facilitates partnerships between clients and reputable Sharia-compliant financial institutions, ensuring that each client is connected with the perfect Sharia Finance partner to meet their unique needs and objectives.
Types of Sharia-Compliant Finance
Musharakah: Musharakah represents a partnership-based financing arrangement where two or more parties contribute capital to a joint enterprise. Profits and losses are shared in proportion to each party’s investment, fostering a collaborative approach to wealth creation.
Mudarabah: Mudarabah is a profit-sharing arrangement where one party provides capital (the investor) while the other party (the entrepreneur) manages the investment. Profits generated from the investment are shared between the investor and the entrepreneur according to pre-agreed terms, while losses are borne solely by the investor.
Murabaha: Murabaha is a cost-plus financing arrangement commonly used for asset purchases. In a Murabaha transaction, the financier purchases the asset on behalf of the client and sells it to the client at a markup price, allowing the client to acquire the asset without paying interest.
Ijara: Ijara is a leasing arrangement where the financier purchases an asset and leases it to the client for a predetermined period. The client pays rent to use the asset, and at the end of the lease term, may have the option to purchase the asset at an agreed-upon price.
