The Customer, intending to utilize the Murabahah facility, identifies the commodities (‘assets’) it needs to purchase through Murabahah facility. BankIslami purchases the assets from Supplier and then sells the same to the Corporate Customer against an agreed price (including disclosed profit portion) on deferred payment basis.

Tijarah Financing: Tijarah Financing product aims at fulfilling working capital requirements of the Clients. In this transaction, BankIslami Pakistan Limited (‘BankIslami’) purchases assets/goods, that are available for sale, from the Client against an agreed purchase price on spot basis. BankIslami then under separate arrangement appoints the Client its Agent to sell the goods in the market at a higher price to earn its desired profit.

Istisna Financing: Istisna is a contract of sale of specified items to be manufactured/constructed, with an obligation on the part of the manufacturer/seller to deliver them to the buyer upon completion.

Istisna can be used for made-to-order commodities where the buyer (BankIslami) would order a specific good with some specifications to be manufactured by the Corporate Client in a particular period of time and deliver to BankIslami after completion.

Salam Financing: Salam is a sale, whereby, the seller undertakes to supply some specific commodity to the buyer at a future date in exchange for an advanced price fully paid on the spot. As a matter of principle, the sale of a commodity which is not in the possession of the seller is unlawful. Thus, the practice of Salam is legalized as an exception and is allowed under certain terms and conditions.

Salam is allowed for commodities only which are homogeneous and fungible in nature i.e. every unit of the commodity should be identical and substitutable in nature e.g. sugar, rice, wheat etc. Therefore, Salam is an ideal mode for financing for agricultural concerns. Salam financing can also fulfill all working capital requirements of manufacturers/traders dealing in homogeneous commodities.
