partners invest capital in a joint business and become owners of the business
with their ratio of investment. They share profits as per agreed profit-sharing

equipment, which is owned by an Islamic bank, for a fixed period against a fixed
price. The bank recovers cost with profit in form of rent from the client. The bank
transfers ownership to the client of the equipment by giving the said equipment
on nominal price to the client.
*Any late payment fee obtained from the client is given to charity according to
SBP charity policy. Ijarah is used for personal and commercial finance.
Salam: It is a sales contract where full payment in discounted price is made in
advance to the client for working capital needs and goods delivery is set on a
future date, when client makes profit on selling the finished goods and repays
the bank. It is mostly used in agricultural financing.
