Who is responsible for maintenance in an Ijara arrangement?

Sources researched September 13, 2026

Educational answer

IIFA distinguishes ownership-related maintenance from operating expenses: its lease-to-ownership resolution places non-operational maintenance on the lessor during the lease. Your agreement should clearly allocate responsibilities and explain its basis. Ask how major repairs, ordinary upkeep and damage caused by misuse are treated rather than assuming every expense falls on the occupant.
