Guiding principle:
HBL HomeFinance is based on the concept of Diminishing Musharakah which is Shariah compliant by
conforming to Shariah laws specifically related to financing, ownership and trade. Taking ownership
through a partnership and then transferring complete ownership to the consumer instead of simply
lending money is the major factor that makes our product Shariah compliant.
The nature of the contract is a co-ownership and not a loan because the transaction is not based on the
lending and borrowing of money but on the joint ownership of an asset. After creation of joint ownership,
the customer agrees to a monthly payment to the bank, part of which is for use of the house and part for
purchasing the bank’s share in the house. When the customer has made the full payment against
proportionate share of the bank which had been agreed upon, he becomes the sole owner with a free and
clear title to the property. The profit charged by HBL is therefore payment for use of its share of the house
during the life of the contract. Your payments to HBL are hence completely Riba Free.
At HBL Islamic, the profit margin is directly linked to market trends to provide a competitive product to
our customers. Shariah allows the use of any market factor as a benchmark to determine the profit rate
of a particular product. The fact that the applied profit rate of our product is similar to the rates applied
for conventional mortgages does not render the transaction or the contract invalid from a Shariah
perspective; neither does it make the transaction an interest-bearing one; rather, it is the underlying
structure of the product that determines its Shariah compliance.
Can a co-applicant be added in HBL Islamic HomeFinance and can Co-applicant’s income be considered?
Yes, the immediate family member (selective relations like, Father, Mother, Brother, Son, Spouse) can
become co-applicant in HBL Islamic HomeFinance case. Co-applicant’s income can be clubbed for approval
in limit enhancement.
With the Shariah guidelines, the bank cannot charge any penalty on late payment as charging an additional
amount for non-payment is RIBA. But to avoid late payments and instill the necessary culture of financial
discipline, it is allowed that the customer undertake and bound himself that if he/she fails to pay due
amount on time, he/she will pay certain amount towards charity, however, the bank cannot book this
amount in its pool of income rather it is then transferred to a charity account which will be administrated
as per Bank’s Charity policy approved by the Shariah Board. For HBL Islamic HomeFinance cases, this
charity is comprised of a flat amount of Rs. 2,500/- on each late paid rental. The charity account is
supervised by the Shariah Board of the bank and is used for charitable purposes.
HBL Islamic HomeFinance offers the flexibility of partial settlement through early unit purchase;
termination anytime during the tenure of the facility but one (1) month after availing the facility in home
purchase cases.
Early termination can only take place on your specific payment date. If you want to avail the facility, you
will have to give a seven (07) days prior notice to the bank. Musharakah units under the ownership of the
bank will be sold at 5% higher price.
