Currently I am interested in Meezan Bank Monthly Mudarbah Certificate, which states that its ribba free and bank becomes your partner on rabb ul mall and mudarib basis.

Home Financing through an Islamic Bank

Q: Our community bank offers Shari’ah compliant home financing which is structured as follows:

1) The Muslim buyer will select the property and the bank will purchase it with a contract for immediate resale to the Muslim purchaser for a fixed amount that will include the bank’s profit.

2) The Muslim buyer will be given a fixed price that will not vary with interest rates.

3) The Muslim buyer will have to sign a contract to buy the house from the bank before the bank purchases the property from the original seller.

4) The bank states that they will take a loan on which they pay interest from a secondary source to finance such a purchase. 

5) The bank states that the buyer will have to insure the property.

Is this form of finance permissible and Shari’ah compliant?
