PROJECT 3 (RESERVED FOR HIFSA SHAUKAT ONLY)

  
PURPOSE
The purpose of this assignment is to develop the learner’s ability to assess the Islamic Finance documentations in Islamic banking operations and instruments that are practiced by Islamic Banks in Malaysia.

REQUIREMENT
In Murabahah contract the bank and the buyer agree to a fixed-term installment arrangement for the payment of the cost plus sale. A legal charge over the property in favour of the bank secures the payments. The maximum repayment term for this structure tends to be limited as the payment amounts are completely fixed throughout the repayment term. The effect of this is similar to a fixed-rate mortgage. It should be noted that Murabahah can only be used for a purchase and not a refinance.
