ifSPACE Professional in Islamic Finance Contracts: study modules

Three short modules on the sale, lease, agency and partnership contracts of Islamic finance

Introductory · 3 hours · 9 lessons · Language: English and Arabic · ID: IFS-COU-0042

Islamic finance works through real contracts: sales, leases, agencies and partnerships. These three short modules explain, in plain language, how murabahah, tawarruq, salam and istisna'a finance goods; how ijarah, lease ending in ownership, agency and service contracts work; and how musharakah, mudarabah and investment accounts share profit and loss, and which ways of protecting capital are allowed.

Each module has a reading with a worked example, slides, study notes and a short practice quiz. The modules prepare you for the ifSPACE Professional in Islamic Finance Contracts exam.

This is independent ifSPACE material written in its own words; it is not affiliated with AAOIFI and is not a fatwa.
