A word of caution for those who might think that the two examples mentioned are the same. It is tempting to say that sale and loan contracts are similar or the same, and that both are riba if the financial outcome is the same. We have to understand that riba, where money is exchanged for money, is not permissible, while a sale contract, where money is exchanged for a non-monetary item, is permissible. Those who fail to grasp this concept are very similar to those mentioned in this verse: "Those who take ribā (usury or interest) will not stand but as stands the one whom the demon has driven crazy by his touch. That is because they have said: 'Sale is but like ribā,' while Allah has permitted sale and prohibited ribā." (Qur'an 2:275). So be careful not to be like these people who looked at the financial outcome in terms of the costs of the arrangement but ignored the fundamental nature of the transactions.

One thing to keep an eye on is when ownership transfers. In some loans, although there may be a "interest" component in the principle value, the vehicle ownership will dictate the halal or haram nature. For example, some hire purchase type loans remain the property of the dealership until final payment is made.

The economic term for “money for money” would be cost of financing. An intriguing aspect of interest rate is that if a central bank sets the interest rate to zero, this would lead to huge money supply in the economy (because of zero cost loans available, people will borrow more) and will lead to massive inflation. Because of zero cost financing, people will borrow more to cover their expenses. This in turn will drive the prices of goods up. So in the end, people will have to shell out more money to buy stuff. It is kind of a self regulated system.

It depends on how they calculate their payments to you. If it's based on the amount you "invest" as a fixed rate of return, then yes it's riba. A simple way to determine is whether they're paying you for giving them money or as a part of something that money is enabling in terms of trade. Also if there's no risk of loss is probably riba

So if someone buy car on islamic finance...and bank charge inflated price (xx time over market price), is fair way of doing business, right?

The entire western monetary system is built on Riba. The very money in your pocket is created out of Riba. What’s your point on focussing on some miserly transaction at a car dealership.

Of course, no answer to this one.

What about 0% interest contracts where there is an intermediary (usually a bank) sitting between you (the consumer) and the bussiness (the seller) that pays the money upfront to the bussiness on behalf of the consumer?, is the bank making interest off of the bussiness by taking a % of the final price even tho you as a consumer are paying 0% on top of the advertised price?, Jazzaka Allahu Khairan brother. Example: a smartphone advertised at $1000 price tag where the bussiness is letting you take it on a 10 month period at 0 % interest (by the end of it, no penny is paid above $1000), but the purchase is asked to be made through specific banks/payment rails like Klarna for instance.

I wish did made sense to me. But I can’t get my head around it. It’s like telling the dealership to just call it sale so that it will be halal for me.

I sure understand your point of view and interest as an employee of an islamic bank in Australia - MCCA. You cannot have islamic vodka. Banking is by nature a fraudulent thing (money created by commercial banks out of nothing). Then we cannot have an islamic version of that. That's inescapable conclusion. To create money out of nothing and then finance people and saying that you are financing people without charging interest is false assumption. There are two same essential problems that we have in the secular base banking system and in an islamic banking system. Until we have islamic financial institutions that do not create money from nothing and that when they use that money for their customers they provide it to their customers in a way that is not interest based. It could be a profit sharing contract or it could be that the islamic payments company builds a house and then sells it on installments, because there cannot be usury in a goods for money transaction. That's a principle of islamic law. For example, if a bank sells you a house for 150 000$ payable over 10 years, that's fine 'cause that's an installment sale and that's been accepted. What islamic banks tend to do is they say you want to buy a house, we will buy this house for 100 000$ as long as you buy it from us for 150 000$. So I take that house and all contracts are signed, the bank transfer it to me and I pay 150 000$ over 10 years. What effectively has happened is that the bank have given a 100 000$ there in return for 150 000 later from me. Now that process all bundled up in one transaction has the same cash flow reality as a loan of a 100 000$ in return for 150 000$ later. It's interesting because that's exactly how the early Christians got around their prohibitions on interest as well through the contractum trinius. They had a system of combining contracts. In islamic banking today it's almost the same thing - you promise that if the bank buys you buy from the bank. So promise (contract one), bank buys (contract two) and I buy from the bank (contract three). All this bundled up into one contract creates the same cash flow reality for an islamic bank that they are interest based bank - will have lend a 100 000 there in return for 150 000 later from me. Now, whatever you call this in terms of names the cash flows are the same as in a commercial bank and that is the essence of usury. 90% of what's going on in islamic banking is this kind of financing.

what about savings account? our money in the bank is being eaten up by inflation. Even with a savings account, the rate offered is at 4.5% while inflation is lets say 9% you are losing money either way when you have the savings account or just by simply leaving it there in your bank

Is there a cost to money? How do you reconcile inflation with interest when fiat currency and modern economics means that the value of money is eroded over time. Also, if we are in Darul Haram then could the economic system be considered anti Islam and of so is the prohibition on interest more nuanced. For example if I have $1000 and leave in the bank and come back in a years time and do not take interest the value of my money has gone down by inflation. If I was to take interest at the same rate as inflation I have effectively preserved my money. Is this RIBA or a Muslim having to operate in an economic system that is not governed by Islam?

Very "interesting ' if you pardon the pun. Why is that the Qur'an talks about giving and taking credit in surah 2? There seems to only one statement in the Qur'an describing 'riba'. It seems that it is all about the exploitation of a borrower, when he cannot pay back the loan. Thus the lender starts making extortionate demands for re payment of the loan, the method commonly used by loan sharks and gangsters. A proper credit agreement with the loan company does not necessarily have to be riba. Take a good example, student loans. These are normally paid back over 30 years and in the UK students only start paying back when they reach a certain salary.

Assalamualaikum brothers and sisters! Paper money=note money=printed money=Fake money=not money. "Real money is gold and silver, not printed money=real value. As an ummah we go back to Allah 's system which is sound money.

I know the people who give lectures on it itself involved in it or enough rich they did no need riba...but they even don't help poor middle class...stay away from Thier problems.. So just they keep u where u r....😂

So when the bank buys the car from the dealer at $100k and then sells it to me for $150k at 0% interest then this is considered halal? Just trying to wrap my head around this. Thanks.

Yes. But the bank has to actually buy and own the car before selling it = profit. Otherwise it’s selling you money = interest.

@@ahmadou4 This is a very interesting point brother. Can you confirm your understanding that if on paper the bank never took ownership and the ownership passed directly from the dealer to the consumer then the bank has only facilitated money and that becomes riba? I ask because I cannot wrap my head around this issue.

@@AlmirColan but that means the bank don't really embrace risk. The bank charge $50k just for the transaction and they will definitely get that $50k. Is that really business/ trade. I feel like if i do that, i can only gain profit and never suffer loss, so i conntinue to get richer and richer.

Honestly i didnt find the video very helpful in making a decision whether to finance a car in Canada or not, truth is that even with zero percent financing there is an element of interest in the final price of the vehicle you wish to purchase, also the final deal is with the financial institution so at the heart of it, it will always be a loan with interest attached to it....the only way to realistically purchase a vehicle the halal way is paying cash...all other alternatives are just fooling yourself that X or Y is halal. A sale transaction would be if future payments are being made to the car dealership which isnt the case....again i am no scholar but that is my brief research on this

Yeah it makes zero sense. The supposed riba you can refinance seek lower rates etc. claiming riba causes inflated prices but this supposed halal way actually just puts the riba interest upfront as a profit, which in riba it basically is the same but it’s refinanable and you can end up paying 125 instead of 150k. And both would give you almost the same period of time to buy the car ex: 4 or 6 years and calculating the whole amount paid over time it’s identical, so basically it’s just jokes on Muslims who want the supposed halal way of buying assets.

It seems like you are mixing up riba and trade. In trade, profit is permissible. I hope you understand the difference. See this video about rules and types of riba for clarification if you have not studied the matter - kzread.info/dash/bejne/Y2x6rMmRmtS9YNo.html

There is a saying...If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck Same too with riba, disguised by many muslims and islamic finance with fancy names such as profits or rents. Take so-called islamic mortgages as an example. Rent part of it goes up and down, when interest rates go up and down. If it is genuinely riba-free mortgage then this should not happen But it behaves the same as interest based mortgages. So it is riba based no matter how you justify it Same as some muslim car dealers offering interest free credit. But the prices of their cars are considerably more than market value. Their markup, accounts for the interest as the price overall is the same as getting a car at market value and paying the extra in interest over the years. This is nothing but deception. Using fancy names to show sales and transactions are riba free, when they are disguised This caused the downfall of Christians. We muslims are following suit.

You are entirely wrong. Rents and property prices do go up based on demand on supply and not directly from interest rates. I assume you are not a landlord or a tenant to know this! An Islamic bank becomes your part landlord when you takeout a house loan and they have the right to increase rent just like any other landlord

@@farahmo4519 Im afraid, it is you who are wrong. When you buy a property using Islamic finance, you don't own the property outright. But the bank does. So the bank is kind of the landlord or property owner, until you've repaid him in full. So, while it appears, you are justified to pay the finance company the rent, you forget 2 things This rent goes up and down, as interest rates go up and down. More to the point, and the tell-tale sign and the give away that this is a disguised western mortgage, is that when you take out an islamic mortgage and the finance company owns the property, then explain why the buyer is 100% responsible for the difference between the loan and the property price if the house price drops. The buyer doesnt own it, but he is expected to cough up the difference when selling the house when house prices have dropped. It should be the landlord who swallows this. But the buyer suddenly becomes 100% responsible. What happened to the landlord in this case ?. Don't give this nonsense that it is to be competitive with ribs based contracts. There is no difference in behavior between a so called islamic mortgage and a conventional western mortgage. Both operate in the same way, as far as end user and contracts are concerned, except one has nice Islamic words. And that's the deception. Don't believe me ?, even western financers who have done degrees will agree. I know, i spoke to them and they say there is no underlining difference The islamic mortgage is taking a riba based mortgage and adding islamic terms. Bit like taking haram meat, adding bits of halal meat and selling whole product as 100% halal meat. Sorry, its still haram. No such thing as a halal swine.

@@SultanOxford in Islamic finance you and the bank are both owners of the house proportionate to your shareholding. Say a house is 100k and rent on the market is 1k. If you have 20k share, bank has 80k. You pay the bank rent of 800 as you also pay the bank out of their portion. Simple as that. If at all you get into financial difficulty, the bank works with you to offload the house and you get your proportion back after costs. If you are against this arrangement, which one do you propose??
