Islamic banking is banking or banking activity that is consistent with the principles of Islamic law (Sharia) and its practical application through the development of Islamic economics. Sharia prohibits the fixed or floating payment or acceptance of specific interest or fees (known as Riba) for loans of money. The definition of riba in classical Islamic jurisprudence was "surplus value without counterpart" and that "numerical value was immaterial." Islamic banking and mortgage interest rate is restricted to Islam acceptable transactions, which exclude those involving alcohol, pork, gambling, etc. The aim of this is to engage in only ethical investing, and moral purchasing.
In an Islamic mortgage transaction, instead of loaning the buyer money to purchase the item, a bank might buy the item itself from the seller, and re-sell it to the buyer at a profit, while allowing the buyer to pay the bank in instalments.
However, the bank's profit cannot be made explicit and therefore there are no additional penalties for late payment. In order to protect itself against default, the bank asks for strict collateral. The goods or land is registered to the name of the buyer from the start of the transaction. Some Islamic banks charge for the time value of money, the common economic definition of Interest (Riba). These institutions are criticized in some quarters of the Muslim community for their lack of strict adherence to Sharia.It is true that Muslim mortgage interest rates are priced higher than conventional mortgage products with customers expected to find a higher deposit. Due the nature of the transaction, institutions have added cost implications and certain there is an element that early innovators do see money to be made. In an Islamic mortgage banking home purchase plans are such that the Lease and the sale contract to the purchaser are separate. The general option of Shariah scholars on are, 'It is allowed that instead of a sale the leaser signs a separate promise to gift the leased asset to the lessee at the end of the lease period, subject to his payment at all amounts of rent. The Validity of this depends on two basic conditions. The agreement of Ijarah itself should not be subjected to signing this promise of sale or gift but the promise should be recorded in a separate document. The Promise should be unilateral and binding on the promise only. It shoul d not be a bilateral promise binding on both parties because in this case it will be a full contract affected to a future date, which is not allowed in the case of sale or gift.'
