The Principles Of Islamic Finance
• Wealth must be generated from legitimate trade and
asset-based investment. (The use of money for the
purposes of making money is expressly forbidden)

benefit to wider society beyond pure return.
• Risk should be shared.

Prohibited Elements In Islamic
Finance
Riba
Definition

Literally, it means excess, expansion, increase, addition
or growth.
Technically, it refers to the “premium” that must be paid
by the borrower to the lender along with the principal
amount as a condition for the loan or an extension in its
maturity.

Types of riba
a) Riba al-nasi’ah
• Pertaining to loan contracts. The term nasi’ah means
to postpone, defer or wait and refers to the time that
is allowed for the borrower to repay the loan in return
for the addition or the premium.
• Example:- selling and buying properties
- personal loans

b) Riba al-fadl
• Pertaining to trade contracts. It refers to the exchange of
different quantities or qualities of the same commodity.
• Example:- a kilo of wheat being exchanged for 1.5 kilos of
wheat.

the result of difference between
revenue and cost, encompassing the
effort and risk undertaken by the
entrepreneur.

Gharar
Definition
 Literally, it means deception, danger, risk, and uncertainty.
 Technically, it means exposing oneself to excessive risk and danger in a
business transaction as a result of uncertainty about the price, the quality
and the quantity of the counter value, the date of delivery, the ability of
either the buyer or the seller to fulfill their commitment, or ambiguity in the
terms of the deal.
 Ibn al-Qayyim described gharar as a sale in which the vendor is not in a
position to hand over the subject matter to the buyer, whether the subject
matter is in existence or not.
 Imam al-Sarakhsi defined gharar as any bargain in which the result of it is
hidden.
 Sheikh Wahbah al-Zuhaily defined gharar as a contract which contains a
risk to any one of the parties which could lead to his loss of properties.

Types of gharar

a) Gharar yasir (minor/slight) – tolerated and will not
invalidate a contract.
b) Gharar fahish (excessive/major) – not tolerated and
may result in voidability of a contract.

- the sale of fish in the sea
- the sale of bird in the air
- the sale of unborn animals
- lost items
