Islamic home financing is a system of financing that complies with Islamic law (Shariah), which prohibits the payment or acceptance of interest or Riba. Instead, Islamic financing uses contracts such as Murabaha (cost-plus sale), Musharakah (partnership), and Ijarah (leasing), where the bank and customer share the risk of investment and benefits in a manner compliant with Islamic principles.
