Murabaha and Contract Questions

Must the provider acquire the property before selling it through Murabaha?

Sources researched September 13, 2026

Educational answer

Yes, a genuine acquisition and the required possession must precede the Murabaha resale. IIFA’s resolution also requires the seller to carry the relevant risk before delivery. Ask the provider to explain the acquisition sequence and show the supporting documents. A promise to buy and a completed sale are not interchangeable.
