Shariah Compliant Real Estate Financing in the USA

Welcome to our training program on Shariah Compliant Real Estate Financing in the USA. This training is designed to provide Imams with a comprehensive understanding of Shari’ah compliant models of Real Estate (RE) financing that currently exist in the US market.

During this training, Imams will be introduced to the Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI) Shari’ah Standards (SSs), which serve as the basis for understanding Shari’ah compliant models of Real Estate financing. The SSs cover a range of financing models, including cost-plus deferred sale, lease-to-own, construction financing, declining balance program, and Shari’ah (Musharakah) and Modern Corporations.
