Question

Assalamu alaikum, What exactly is the issue with the guidance financial financing model. On their site they mention that they share the risk in the house.


Answer

 

 

 

Alhamdu Lillah

 

The company in question is NOT a Sharia compliant one. Their model is a semi-interest bearing loan, even if they claim otherwise.

 

They claim to go with (diminishing partnership) model, but they do not pay their share from the maintenance, insurance, and tax. Worse than that; they ask for their money in full in case their client decided to terminate the contract, so, the risk they take is Zero! Obviously, the aforementioned violations are more that enough to invalidate the whole transaction and render it to a semi-Riba one.

 

As of insurance issue; it could be overlooked as it is required by law when closing or transferring the deed of the house.
