Islamic finance in Europe (45)

Continuation
In the other common type of non-PLS (profıt and loss-sharıng) contract, i.e. the ijarah (leasing) contract:
-      a party purchases an item;
-      and leases it to the other party.
Here the first one is usually the bank, and the second one is the client.
Under Islamic law, the lease is equivalent to the sale of the right to use the good against the payment of a fee.
The fee set at the time the contract is concluded and related to the way the good will be used.
Thus, the gain of the bank takes into account the results achieved by using the leased asset.
The seller and the buyer must agree on the mark-up.
The object of the contract:
-      must have a real usage
-      and the user must be able to benefit from it.
