Al-Mustaqeem Car Ijarah

The concept

Ijarah is an Islamic mode of leasing and can be used for assets that are not
consumed while they are in use, for instance, it can be a house, car or any
other tangible asset. During the tenure of Ijarah financing the asset given by
the bank remains in DIBL’s ownership and all risks are borne by the Bank.
According to Shari’ah compliant Car Ijarah financing, DIBL gives its car on
rental basis to the customer against agreed payment and period. After the
determined period of Ijarah, customer may purchase the car at an agreed
price or may return it back to DIBL.

amount i.e. Rs.4000 for less than Rs.1.00 million and Rs.5000 for
greater than Rs.1.00 million. But in case of Dawood Islamic Bank

Islamic Bank does not provide this facility.
