DIMINISHING MUSHARAKAH:

Diminishing Musharakah is a form of 'Musharakah' in which the ownership of the asset is divided into
units. The bank then leases its share of asset (units) to the customer against rental payments. In parallel,
the customer periodically purchases the units under the ownership of the bank.

Diminishing Musharakah for carrying business of services:

Creating joint ownership in a taxi in the form of Shirkah al-Milk. As already stated this is
allowed in Shariah.
Musharakah in the income generated through the services of taxi.
Purchase of different units of the share of the financier by the client. This is again subject to the
conditions already detailed in the case of House financing.

DIMINISHING MUSHARAKAH IN TRADE


The arrangement is simply a musharakah whereby two partners invest different amounts of
capital in a joint enterprise
Purchase of different units of the share of the financier by the client. This may be in the form of a
separate and independent promise by the client. The requirements of Shariah regarding this
promise are the same as explained in the case of House financing with one very important
difference. Here the price of units of the financier cannot be fixed in the promise to purchase,
because if the price is fixed before hand at the time of entering into musharakah, it will
practically mean that the client has ensured the principal invested by the financier with or
without profit, which is strictly prohibited in the case of musharakah.

MURABAHA
Murabaha is a kind of sale where the seller expressively mentions the cost of the commodity
purchased and sells it to another person by adding some profit thereon. The distinguishing
feature of MURABAHA from ordinary sale is:
• The seller discloses the cost to the buyer.
• And a known profit is added
