All Islamic mortgages use a variety of
principles based on Sharia law, including Ijara, Musharaka and
Murabaha. All of these get around the problem of paying interest -
Sharia prohibits the payment of interest (Riba). The following shows a
selection of products which are available globally. |

Fortunately,
several lenders have created specialist Islamic mortgages because of
the growing demand for Sharia-compliant home purchase plans in the UK. Because
some of these products were complicated, those of you taking them out
used to have to pay Stamp Duty twice: once when the bank bought a
property and again when the ownership was signed over to you 25 years
later. Recent UK tax changes have seen this abolished.

For Muslims who want to buy a home,
conventional mortgages have always caused problems in light of
principles of Sharia law. Sharia bans the use of Riba (interest).
Conventional mortgages involve the house buyer borrowing the money and
paying it back with some interest charged on top. |

The Council of Mortgage Lenders today broadly welcomed the Chancellor’s Budget announcements on the housing and mortgage markets.
The CML is pleased that the Chancellor did not raise stamp duty, and is particularly pleased that double stamp duty on Islamic mortgages will be resolved. But the CML would have liked to see the thresholds raised, and continues to believe that longer term fundamental reform away from the existing "slab" structure of stamp duty is needed.
