[@silentone6966]

3:18 All you need to check if the "islamic" financing company is doing halal or haram is the following questions: 1) Islam does not allow combining a partnership contract, with a rental contract in same contract, so will they have two separate contracts where if we stop renting (break rental contract), we still remain 20% co-owner, and rent it to someone else, since it is a partnership and co-owning contract? Shariah is clear, contracts cannot be combined into one contract in this case, so they may have no answer for this. 2) If this is a co-ownership contract, will the 'islamic' financing company also pay 80% of the repair/maintenance/govt property taxes/etc as an 80% owner while charging rent on their 80% share? In most cases they will say, you the 'renter' or 'co-owner' (actually a lender) will pay all property taxes, maintenance for repairs, etc for all 100% of the house, not just for your share of ownership (20%) which is not what renters do anywhere, do they? 3) Late payment fees- whether little or lot, do they charge a late payment fee from the 20% co-owner? If so this is not a rental agreement, this is a loan and needs repayment, so co-ownership is merely a word used in contract but not really co-ownership, as 20% partner need not have to guarantee to become 100% unless the same contract, it is a partnership to begin with, or... a loan with guaranteed repayment with penalty for not paying on time? 4) Does the 'islamic' finance company already posses the property/owns it, for them to be able to sell or rent to us before we sign the contract? Or is our signing the contract, create the possibility to possess the property in which case, they signed a contract for a property they did not already possess, and Shariah does not permit trading or contracting in a product you do not already own/possess. There are other deeper questions to ask, but these simple questions should be able to help even simple people like myself in evaluating based on the reply of the 'islamic finance' company. Riba is generally understood as merely 'interest on loans' but Islamic financing and Islamic economics has strict guidelines on how contracts are setup and these details are what can make something halal, or haram, not merely replacing the word 'riba/interest' with 'fees/rent'.

[@siddiqi147]

Exactly!! thats what i have been asking about property tax, home insurance and HOA annual fees plus maintenance... i guess they are winning in deceiving ignorant minds.

[@kunou4527]

Interesting nuances. The first two are huge nuances. I would say the rent would also need to be steeply discounted below market rate as well. Since you are 20% co-owner you would subtract at least 20% from market rate for rent. If you're also the one paying for all taxes/maintenance/repairs, then you should be further paying even less in rent since the other co-owner has no operating expenses.

[@skhan_28]

These are fair points and only show that the market needs a correction. We need a more shariah compliant product rather than one which is copying and reusing the terms of a traditional mortgage agreement. Having said that, what matters the most is the permissibility of the contract. If the terms are aligned to shariah requirements, then at least it is a start. The other terms which are not ideal can be debated and of course no one is forcing anyone to sign the contract.

[@SB-yc3io]

Thanks for raising awareness as many people ignore the contracts side of the so called halal mortgages

[@Mohammed-ej5ix]

@@skhan_28I agree it is a start and the contract itself being ‘Shariah compliant’ is important. However, the contract in all forms of law that I have come across is secondary to what the economic reality is. If on the surface of what the arrangement is in practice is different to the contract, the contract has no bearing. I would argue this is the case here because the contract says it’s a partnership but I see no to little characteristics of the arrangement being a partnership. The burden almost entirely falls onto the borrower/tenant. This is very problematic and because there are other more viable and Islamic options out there such as Pfida its questionable as to whether we should avoid Islamic mortgages and support Pfida and others where the risk sharing is more equitable and is more a genuine partnership than say an Al Rayan.

[@IHashim98]

The basic problem with “Islamic” mortgages is that the cost of the loans is still based on prevailing interest rates since Islamic banks have to borrow the money from somewhere - Islamic mortgages are a con and are not genuine risk sharing no matter how you sugar coat them with semantic gymnastics 🤡

[@SharpKnife523]

I financed my house with Guidance in 2005. After paying my mortgage payments for a few months, Guidance sold it to another bank and then I started paying to another bank. There is nothing Islamic here plus now I know that a mortgage is not like a loan. It's like buying an asset together with the bank. There is no concept of interest in that.

[@muz11112]

So these 3 problems with "Islamic" Banking: 1. They don't share risk equitably, including wear and tear of the property which partners of a property would do in any other situation. 2. They don't rely local rents to the detriment of a genuine partner. If finance houses were structured differently, it'd work. Won't be as profitable but the goal here shouldn't be profit at the same level as conventional banks. 3. They also operate within the fractional reserve banking system. I maintain all the above creates an underlying ribawi contract, using money to make money from the money itself. It's these very reasons from a macroeconomic point of view that results in exactly the same societal outcomes as conventional mortgage lending. You either accept conventional mortgages as being acceptable as you don't have autonomy over the loan, and nor is the riba excessive like at the time of the Prophet SWS and thus benefiting from lower lending rates OR you rent.

[@hamz8790]

To me, it seems like murabaha mortgages is just a nice way of rewriting conventional riba contracts, no? If I were to take out a loan with 5% interest (for arguments sake) but I asked the bank to rewrite the contract as though it's 5% profit that they'll be receiving, the principle is still the same. The musharakah option seems to make sense for the most part, although I'll be researching that more too.

Quote from the Holy Quran, Al-Baqara 2:275 ٱلَّذِينَ يَأْكُلُونَ ٱلرِّبَوٰا۟ لَا يَقُومُونَ إِلَّا كَمَا يَقُومُ ٱلَّذِى يَتَخَبَّطُهُ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنُ مِنَ ٱلْمَسِّ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَا ٱلْبَيْعُ مِثْلُ ٱلرِّبَوٰا۟ ۗ وَأَحَلَّ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْبَيْعَ وَحَرَّمَ ٱلرِّبَوٰا۟ ۚ فَمَن جَآءَهُ ۥ مَوْعِظَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّهِ ۦ فَٱنتَهَىٰ فَلَهُ ۥ مَا سَلَفَ وَأَمْرُهُ ۥٓ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ ۖ وَمَنْ عَادَ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلنَّارِ ۖ هُمْ فِيهَا خَٰلِدُونَ Those who consume interest cannot stand [on the Day of Resurrection] except as one stands who is being beaten by Satan into insanity. That is because they say, "Trade is [just] like interest." But Allah has permitted trade and has forbidden interest. So whoever has received an admonition from his Lord and desists may have what is past, and his affair rests with Allah. But whoever returns to [dealing in interest or usury] - those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide eternally therein.

[@Mohammed-ej5ix]

Question for IFG. Does the lack of risk sharing by the Islamic bank in turn make the arrangement less of a partnership and one that is more akin to a lending ‘conventional’ model in your view? Putting the contractual arrangement to one side because we both know contracts can be written and arranged in many different ways to suit one’s agenda, essentially does the lack of shared risk and charging of rent = interest bearing loan in reality?

[@yaakcon]

EXCELLENT QUESTIONS. YOU ARE ASKING ALL THE RELATIVE QUESTIONS. IT IS ALL ABOUT FLUCTUATIONS AND RISK SHARING. THIS IS WHAT A MORTGAGE IS ALL ABOUT?

[@baaliilyes]

Yes, that is what I want to ask about as well, I hope they have an answer for this

[@ozavisaahmed7032]

What I don’t understand is why Islamic mortgage providers are asking for a 20% deposit when we all know Muslims are the struggling communities in UK. I think 5-10% deposit will be reasonable if they really want to help the Muslims.

[@beambo6956]

How is "islamic banking" fundamentally different from non-islamic banking? In both cases the borrower has no choice but to pay back more than the principal to the bank.

[@Muhammet-Kuruoglu]

In theory it is very different since risk and profits are split between bank and 'lender' (in this case co-owner). Like with houses, the bank owns 80% of it and also pays for 80% of the bills like electricity, water etc. Reality, however, islamic Banking is more like traditional banking and is mildly differently structured.

[@alib7489]

Please let me know if I'm wrong, but am I correct in saying Islamic Mortgages do not allow for overpayments? Why is this? Isn't it in the buyer's interest to pay off their mortgage as soon as possible if they can make additional overpayments on top of their monthly payments? Second question, why is the 'rent' in Musharaka-based mortgages so high? Who regulates what is a 'reasonable' amount for rent?

[@yaakcon]

TWO VERY IMPORTANT QUESTIONS HERE. THE RENT HERE EQUALS TO INTEREST RATE FLUCTUATION AND IT IS A BIG THING IN ANY MORTGAGE DECISION. THEY JUST CHANGED INTEREST RATE WITH RENT RATE.

[@hasanbinismail7093]

Assalamualaikum sir. Please answer me. Bank nifty is halal or haram ?

[@yaakcon]

I BOUGHT MY HOUSE IN THE UNITED STATES THROUGH A CONVENTIONAL MORTGAGE. MY INTEREST RATE IS 2.25 % LOCKED FOR 20 YEARS. SO MY PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST ARE FIXED AND THE ONLY THING THAT FLUCTUATES HERE IS THE YEARLY PROPERTY TAX WHICH IS ABOUT 17% OF THE MORTGAGE. I HAVE SOMEWHAT TOTAL CONTROL OF MY HOUSE. IF THE VALUE OF THE HOUSE GOES UP I CAN SELL IT AND POCKET THE PROFIT AND IF IT GOES DOWN I CAN EITHER KEEP IT UNTIL IT GOES UP AGAIN OR SHORT SELL IT. THE BANK DOES NOT CARE WHAT I DO TO THE HOUSE SO LONG I CONTINUE TO PAY THE PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST EVERY MONTH. AND HENCE I CAN PAYOFF MY MORTGAGE ANYTIME WITHOUT PAYING ANY PENALTIES. REGARDLESS OF HALAL AND HARAM TELL ME HOW THIS COMPARES TO ISLAMIC MORTGAGES.

These so called islamic mortgages are not halal by any means. You end up paying 3x more than what you paid for the property.

Stop misleading people and muslims should stay away from it

[@mohammedhanneef4473]

Simple question why is that Rent of the house suddenly shoots up the day my mortgage plan starts. I need to pay more rent than the share of the bank comparing to he price of the rent that the house is worth a day before.

[@oguzhancelik9632]

First of all I am not against anything here but I have some valid questions which I hope I can get answer for. Most of the explanations here is on high level which means no details about the agreement terms or actual numbers for similar Islamic mortgage sample. I want to learn that the rental agreement you mentioned about that and the terms of it. And also I wonder the actual ownership or partnership agreement on the house. Can we say that when someone wants to our of mortgage due to some reasons or maybe in default position, can he get what he paid after the penalties poof the term or just house/payments completely goes to the Islamic bank. If the partner or the buyer of the Islamic mortgage does not get any asset or value from these payments/house, there is no any difference with term of conventional mortgage agreements, unfortunately. And, I do not believe that the term of "Islamic" banking or "Islamic" mortgage since these are the business types which is found by non Muslim people, and the bases according their lifestyle. I am not against to the conventional mortgage by the way just trying to understand what is the actual difference between "Islamic" and conventional banking and specifically mortgage.

[@mpkmix7712]

That is one problem, and the other problem is that it is based on paper money, which is illegal in Islamic finance to begin with so the root of money is forbidden by our creator, so how can you even say the word, Islamic finance?

[@pabby1234]

Is there any islamic mortgages for leasehold shared ownership properties?? Any bank lenders out there, for instance to buy 25% in a property??

[@yaakcon]

HE LOST ME WHEN HE SAID A RATE. I STILL DON'T SEE THE DIFFERENCE. IF YOU BUY THE HOUSE USING 80% AND 20% MODEL THEN WHO CONTROLS THE RENT? REMEMBER THE RENT CAN GO UP OR DOWN? ALSO HE DOES NOT TALK ABOUT FORECLOSURE; THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING ABOUT ANY MORTGAGE. WHAT HAPPENS IF THE BORROWER COULDN'T PAY THE 80% OF THE RENT. IF I AM A RENTER AND I LOSE MY JOB THEN I CAN EITHER MOVE WITH MY FAMILY OR FRIENDS OR EVEN IN A HOMELESS SHELTER. BUT WHAT HAPPENS TO MY 20% OF MY OWNERSHIP IF I FAIL TO CONTINUE TO PAY RENT ON THE 8O%. ALSO WHAT DOES HE MEAN EXPENSIVE? IF THE BANK AND I ARE BUYING TH HOUSE AT THE CURRENT RATE AT THE TIME OF THE CONTRACT THEN I ALREADY KNOW HOW MUCH THE GOING PRICE OF THE HOUSE IS. SO ARE THEY CHARGING EXTRA FEES TO PURCHASE THE HOUSE?

You are dressing up interest in a new cloths it is still interest. Only way is to not buy a house until you have all cash. All these plans are haram.

For all those saying it's still haram, how is one supposed to buy a house lol. Is renting the only option? With rental rates alongside the cost of living, your gonna be stuck within a house that isn't your own with little in your pocket? Suggestions?

What’s wrong with renting at least you stay away from riba
