The Ijara Contract in Islamic Finance

Abstract

IJARAH is an Arabic term with origins in Islamic Fiqh, meaning to give something to rent. Leasing is a contract whereby usufruct rights to an asset are transferred by the owner, known as the lessor, to another person, known as the lessee, at an agreed-upon price called the rent, and for an agreed-upon period of time called the term of lease. In this case the Ijara financing technique is applied to car finance.
