How does Islamic finance work?

Our housing finance products are based on a lease arrangement that ends in ownership also known in the Islamic Finance industry as Ijarah Muntahiyya Bittamlik. This arrangement has been recognized by a large number of contemporary Scholars and is widely implemented and utilized by Islamic banks and financial institutions around the world.

1.  A potential client approach us for assistance and complete an application form applies for Amlak finance;
2. MCCA conducts a preliminary assessment on the client’s financial serviceability;
3. Subject to a satisfactory preliminary assessment, MCCA issues a conditional letter of funding approval on behalf of the Funder to the client;
4. The client is considered to have been appointed by MCCA as Wakeel to identify a property the client wishes to lease (to own);
