Aqidah Viewpoint: Trade
73
and Riba
Allah has allowed trade but prohibits riba.
Explain the verse in the light of risk magement.
Main lesson: Rejecting love for money, which is one form
of Hubbul Dunya. The believer must only love Allah swt
since He is the Creator and Sustainer of life.
In riba, money will always appreciate. Principle + interest =
appreciation.
In trade (al-bay), money is converted into capital. Capital
is used to buy merchandize or underlying assets
Business capital can increase, decrease or remains the
same over time due to risk-taking. Risk is potential loss.
Capital is subject to market volatility.
Because there is no love for money but only God, money
must be allowed to appreciate and depreciate, leading to
gain or loss.

BANKING CAPITAL REQUIREMENT

Bank is required to back-up loans with

some capital.
If CAR = 8%, it means for every $100
loan given out, it must be supported by
$8 of banks capital.
CAR = Capital / Risk-Weight Assets

Stress on Islamic bank
108
capital
Since the risk-weight for Musharakah is 250%, the bank
is charged higher capital from $56m to $78m. The bank
has to come up with $22m more capital to meet
regulators requirement in order to undertake the
Musharakah project.
In this sense, the Musharakah project places stress of
Islamic bank capital.
Basel II assumes that Islamic deposits are similar with
conventional deposits.
In conventional deposits, the deposits and interest
income are guaranteed.
This is not the case for Islamic deposits since they are
based on profit-sharing system. In this manner, the bank
need not provide capital guarantees.

. Since PPA and PSA is not a true sale it is easy to exempt it from
tax, thus a case of tax neutrality on Islamic financing.
. But the S & P agreement is still subject to tax since the sale is a
true one.
. When an Islamic bank purchases an asset (say, property) from
a developer, it will have to pay tax or stamp duties to the
government.
Stamp duty: Tax implication
Stamp duty tax is one of the important

Investment Account (PSIA) with risk absorbent
141
In order to highlight the more accurate nature of mudarabah

deposits (PSIA) and its impact on bank capital, BNM has provided
a new formulation for determining regulated for Islamic banks.
PSIA will be used to finance a relatively more risky projects based
on mudarabah, istisna and musharakah contracts.
The formulation capital adequacy ratio (CAR) = Capital/ (RWA less
(1-)RWA funded by PSIA less ()RWA in the form of PER)
When = 1, the bank holds all risks in the balance sheet.
When is say 30%, the bank carry risks only from wadiah
dhamanah deposits and general mudarabah deposits.
Then 70% of the risks (1-) = (1-0.3), is carried by PSIA deposits.
Then CAR will be less than CAR without as a risk-absorbent
factor. This will reduce stress on Islamic banking capital.
Hence, the smaller the i.e. the more risks carried by PSIA, the
lower is the CAR.

SB to place excess funds with ILH in return for fixed income

SB purchases commodity (eg palm oil) from Supplier A via
broker A at $10m.
SB sells the commodity to ILH. ILH will pay on credit in 6
months at $11m. This is a 6-month facility placement.
ILH sells the commodity to Supplier B via Broker B and
obtain cash. Cash will be invested in ILH financing
operations.
ROI of the $10m varies. Assume that the ROI = 20%. Thus
ILH secures $10m x 0.2 = $2m profit.
At maturity ILH pays SB $11 million with net margin for SB

According to Bank Rakyat, a pledge valued at

less than $1,000 will cost the rahin (1,000/100) x
40 sen or $4 a month. Normally, only about half
of the pledge value is given to the rahin as an
interest-free loan. Thus, a $500 loan payable in 6
months will incur a storage cost of $4 x 6 = $24.
At the end of the term, the rahin will pay the
murtahin $524. The rahin can ask for periodic
loan extension provided he pays an additional
storage fee.
On failure to pay the loan after a prolonged
reminder, the operator holds the right to put the
collateral on auction.. The rahn company will
claim loan plus storage fees due to them. The
surplus therein will be returned back to the rahin.

Price will possibly rise due to its deferred payment

(Badai as-Sonai, Al-Kasani, 5/187)
The deferment for some period of time has a value in the
price (Bidayatul Mujtahid, Ibn Rush Al-Hafid, 2/108)
Five which is paid in cash is equal to six which is paid on

deferred (Al-Wajiz, (Abu Hamid Al-Ghazali, 1/85).
The period is part of the price (Fatawa Ibn Taimiya, 29/499)
This is the evidence that the period of time in sale and

purchase has its portion in the price; and it is permissible
for sale and purchase contracts (Al-Mughni, Ibn-Qudamah,

How is risk management related to the

above verse?
Risk Management
189
When a bank takes a position (ie.

decided to lend/to extend financing), it
has an exposure.
Exposure is a loose word to describe a

transaction which generates some risk.
Sometimes it also refers to the amount
of risk or amount subject to loss of value
or the size of the commitment.
Risk Management
190
Risk is the potential loss arising from

uncertainty of events, which can have a
potential adverse effect, which is a
possibility of loss. Uncertainty refer to
the randomness of outcomes.
Risk management is the process of

identifying, measuring, controlling and
pricing of the risks taken abroad.
Risk is potential loss
191
Risk itself is not an evil thing

Avoiding risk with zero profit is allowed
Wadiah Yad Dhamanah deposit
Avoiding risk with positive profit is not
allowed interest from loans.
Avoiding risk is an evil action if it injures
the counterparty interest from loans

Implication of Negative Gap: Example:

Profit = ($100m x 0.07) ($100 x 0.03)

= $7m - $3m = $4m
When market interest rates go up, what can happen to the
bank?
The bank cannot raise then profit rate to accommodate
prevailing cost of fund. If it does, the murabaha contract turns
invalid.
The bank will lose deposits when Islamic deposit rate (IDR)<
conventional interest rates (CII).
When it losses deposits and forced to acquire money market
funds at a higher cost, the bank earning drops. This is known
as the Displaced Commercial Risk (DCR).
To mitigate DCR, the Profit Equalization Reserve (PER) was
instituted.
PER serves to fill the gap between IDR and CII. Or the expcted
rate of return and the realized rate of return.

Set AQAD profit rate based on

future/projected/forecasted rate, say =12%
Current rate of profit = 8%
Monthly installment based on future rate =
$2,000
Monthly installment based on current/mark-to
market rate = $1,200.
Rebate = $800.
If rate rises to 9%, monthly installment = $1,300.
Rebate is less = $700 (ie. $2,000 - $1,300)
As profit rate increases due to higher cost of
funds, rebate decreases.
CREDIT RISK
Banks as Risk-Takers
Banks take money from depositors and extent financing to
clients.
In conventional system, a bank takes deposits and make
loans.
A bank can charge a very high rate to a very risky borrower
but it may suffer high losses when the borrower defaulted.
Credit risk is higher when the bank becomes an aggressive
risk-taker. It charges high credit risk premiums and hopes
that the customer will not default.
Deposit fund will be in danger when bank gives loan or
extends financing to clients with low creditworthiness.
But to play safe, by giving loans to clients with high
creditworthiness will mean small margins and if a default
occurs, it will wipe out banks entire profit.
Hence banks must seek strategies to minimize their risk
exposures through diversification.

Credit risk is the risk that a change in

the credit quality of a counterparty will
affect the value of a security or
portfolio.
When counterparty defaults, the bank
loses either all of the market value of
the position or, the part of the value
that it cannot recover.

Credit Risk in BBA
The risk of the facility is characterized
by:
1. The external and /or internal rating
attributed to each obligor, usually
mapped to probability of default (PD).
2. The loss rate given default (LGD) and
EAGD of the facilities. LGD is the loss

rate when the borrower defaults.
Credit Risk
1. Exposure at given default (EAGD) :
notional value of a loan, or exposure for
loan commitment. Amount of credit
outstanding at the time of default.
. The expected loss (EL) for each credit

facility:
EL = PD x EAGD x LGD
Credit risk inn BBA
Expected loss (EL) is the basis for the calculation of the
banks allowance for BBA losses, which should be sufficient
to absorb both specific and general credit related losses.
EL can be viewed as cost of doing business. That is, on
average, the bank will incur a credit loss amounting to EL.
However ACTUAL credit losses may be higher or lower than
EL.
The variation for credit losses beyond EL is called
unexpected loss (UL).
UL is the basis for the calculation of economic and
regulatory capital.
Example: Expected Loss
Zahidi Bank hold a $500 million BBA
portfolio with 15 years tenor.
PD of the portfolio = 10%
BBA defaulted after 5 years
Exposure at given default (EAGD) =
$400
Collateral $300m
Credit Risk
Loss rate given default = (EAGD
collateral)/EAGD
= ($400m - $300m)/$400m =
($100/$400) x 100% = 25%
EL= PD x EAGD x LGD
EL = 0.1 x $400m x 0.25 = $10 million
Bank will put aside $10 million for NPF
provisioning.
EXPECTED LOSS = PD x EAGD x LGD
EAGD = $400m

Credit Risk Valuation
When a customer defaulted on his debt obligation,
the bank will incur a loss.
The first type of loss is known as expected loss (EL)
which is a loss that bank expect to make as part of
doing the credit business and are covered by
reserves and income.
The second type of loss is called Unexpected loss
(UL) which is a loss to the bank as a result of
unexpected events except the catastrophic ones and
are covered by the economic capital.
Actual level of credit loss in any one period could be
significantly higher than the expected level.
Credit Risk Valuation
How to estimate Expected Loss (EL) and
Unexpected Loss (UL).
EL = PD x EAGD x LGD
PD = probability of default (in %)
EAGD = Exposure at given default (in
$values)
LGD = Loss rate given default (in %)
Probability of default (PD)
The PD is the likelihood that the
counterparty will be unable to comply
with his/her debt obligation.
Estimating PD
PD is the percentage of the contracts that were
defaulted in relation to the total portfolio of contracts
during the period of one year.
PD = (DCt/TC) x 100
DCt = the number of default contracts during the
period t under examination
TC = total number of contracts of the examined class.
Default is the inability of the debtors to pay a
substantial portion of the lend capital for a
predefined set of period such as three months or 90
days.
Exposure at Default (EAGD)
EAGD is the estimation of the
institutions exposure in the event of,
and at the time of, counterparty defaults
Loss Rate Given Default
(LGD)
LRGD is the weighting of the loss when a default
occurs.
LRGD is the ratio of losses to exposure at
default (EAGD).
An important parameter to estimate LGD is the
estimation of recovery rate (RR).
RR = [(recovery from cash payment + recovery
from collateral administrative cost)/(1-
variation in market value) divided by EAGD] x
100.
LGD = 1 - RR
LGD = Charge Offs (Net of Recovery)
/Outstanding Balance at Default (ie EAD)
Loss Rate Given Default
(LGD)
LGD parameter increases in value in
relation to the collateral asset.
If asset is not backed by a collateral
asset, the LGD will be high
If asset is backed by a collateral asset,
the LGD will be lower
Credit Risk: EL & UL
Suppose Salam Bank has portfolio of 5 murabaha customers with given EAD
(Exposure at default), LGD (Loss Given Default) and (PD) Probability of
Default.
Suppose the said figures for the first customer is are as given below -
EAD = 100,000, LGD = 0.45 and PD = 0.10.
Then the loss is 100,000 * 0.45 = 45,000. ie EAD x LGD
Expected loss for this customer is EL = 45,000*0.10 = 4,500 ie Loss x
0.1
Or EL = PD x EAD x LGD = 0.1 x 45,000 x 0.01 = 4,500
Calculate the unexpected loss (UL) for each murabaha facility?
Suppose bank data is as given below :
Customer EAD LGD PD
1 100,000 0.45 0.10
2 150,000 0.45 0.10
3 300,000 0.45 0.05
4 500,000 0.45 0.01
5 400,000 0.45 0.1
Unexpected Loss
Unexpected loss = Loss that is not budgeted for
(expected) and is absorbed by an attributed
amount of economic capital.
Unexpected loss=
P (1-P) x EAD x LGD
0.1 (1-0.1) x 45,000 x 0.1 = 0.3 x 45,000 x 0.1 = $1,350

Lack of Liquidity
Islamic banks with high dependence on fixed rate assets
(FRA) will face income gap. When interest rate increases,
banks earning will fall and bank cant keep up with
conventional deposits rates. Rate of return on Islamic
deposits (rd) is now lower than interest rate on deposits
(id). When rd < id, outflow of Islamic deposits triggers
asset-liability mismatches with Financing/Deposits ratio >
1. To match the balance sheet, Islamic bank is forced to use
money market funds at a higher cost which further
depresses banks earning. To deter further outflow of
Islamic deposits, Islamic bank must ensure that rd = id,
which means giving Islamic depositors more that they
deserved. This is done by using banks own reserves. By
doing so, the bank faces displaced commercial risk (DCR).
The reserves or capital that the bank uses can support
financing operation bearing potential income.

Shariah Risk
Foreclosure
Foreclosure is the legal process by which a mortgagee or other
lien holder, usually a lender, obtains a court ordered termination
of a mortgagor's equitable right of redemption. Usually a lender
obtains a security interest from a borrower who mortgages or
pledges an asset like a house to secure the loan. If the borrower
defaults and the lender tries to repossess the property, courts of
equity can grant the borrower the equitable right of redemption if
the borrower repays the debt. While this equitable right exists, the
lender cannot be sure that it can successfully repossess the
property, thus the lender seeks to foreclose the equitable right of
redemption.
Court Declaration
A declaration is a written statement submitted to a court
in which the writer swears 'under penalty of perjury' that
the contents are true. That is, the writer acknowledges
that if he is lying, he may be prosecuted for perjury.
Declarations are normally used in place of live testimony
when the court is asked to rule on a motion.

Shariah risk in Islamic
Financial Instruments
Financial reporting: prior to PSA, bank must hold ownership
of asset. Recorded as fixed asset.
Legal documentation: transfer of ownership from bank to
customer. Warranties.
Shariah risk
Maqasid approach: benefits outweigh the disbenefits.
Losses arising from money paid by Islamic bank to
customers when contracts were found invalid in favour of
customers.
Form over substance.
Contracts and legal documentation are not consistent.
Eg. Sale with no transfer of ownership title.
Sale without warranties
Purchase undertakings in Musharakah sukuk.
Shariah risk
Shariah risk is the potential loss to the
Islamic bank arising from cost of civil
actions carried or absorbed by the bank
from lawsuits by customers. The cost of
the civil actions may include:
Compensations and damages paid to
customers
Returning profit collected from the
Islamic facility
Cost of court proceedings
Reputation risk.

WRANGLE WITH BLOM
BANK (LEBANON)
Investment Dar defaulted on a $100 million sukuk last year
and is restructuring its debts.
Investment Dars Sukuk
Default
Kuwait's troubled shareholding company Investment
Dar is refusing to pay Lebanon's Blom Bank $10.7
million, saying that their original deal did not
comply with Islamic law, in a move that could
pressure the Islamic finance industry.
According to a legal brief circulated this week and obtained
by Reuters, Blom sued the company in a British court last
year, asking for the principal it invested plus a 5 percent
return, as structured in a deal it conducted with Daar in
2007.
Investment Dar vs Blom
Bank
The issue revolves around the
concept of interest and risk-sharing.
Under the deal, known as a wakala,
Dar served as an agent and
accepted funds from Blom that it
would invest in a sharia-compliant
manner.But the contract called for
the company to return the principal
investment plus a fixed profit -- a
deal Dar's attorneys now say
constitutes interest, which is

High Court ordered TS Khalid Ibrahim to
pay US$18.52m (RM66.67m) facilities
that he obtained from BIMB to purchase
Guthrie in 2001.
Court order without full court hearing
since this is a common case of default.
TS Khalid made an appeal.
Appeal court allows full court hearing if
the dispute involves violations of Islamic
law.
The Client claimed that the BBA contract
becomes invalid when BIMB disposes off
the collateral (Guthrie shares) upon
default.
BIMB sells the collateral to recover the
amount the Client owes the bank.
BBA agreement
Asset Purchase Agreement : Client sells
shares to Bank for $60m on cash basis.

Client for $70m (ie. $60m principle +
$10m profit) on deferred payment basis
Charge Agreement: Client places the
shares as collateral.

Shariah Risk
Potential loss to the bank arising from
cost of litigations against the bank as
result of contract invalidation through
the court of law.
Shariah risk can be avoided by attending
to:
1. Financial reporting requirement
2. Legal documentation requirement
3. Maqasid-Shariah requirement.
MEASUREMENT
OF SHARIAH RISK
AND BANK LOSS.
Shariah risk
Highly exposed Islamic banking portfolio to credit financing
instruments such as BBA is not spared from losses due to
default. Other unique risks faced by Islamic banks that can
severely reduce its earning are risk of return risk (RoR) and
displaced commercial risk (DCR). The former is potential
loss arising from loss of deposits to conventional banks
when rate of Islamic deposits are less competitive than
interest rates on conventional deposits. The latter is the
potential loss when the bank uses it own reserves to
smoothen rates on Islamic deposits. Recently, a new type
of risk called Shariah risk, surfaces into actual drama in
both the legal and banking fraternity as it challenged the
legality of BBA financing. It calls for immediate remedies to
save Islamic banking from serious reputational risk as well
as severe financial loss.
IFSB - Shariah risk
The Islamic Financial Service Board (IFSB) defines Shariah
risk as one arising when an Islamic financial institution (IFI)
offering Islamic financial services fails to comply with
Shariah rules and principles determined by Shariah Board
of the IFI or the relevant bodies in the jurisdiction in which
the IFI operates. It asserts that IFIs should ensure that their
contract documentation complies with Shariah rules and
principles with regards to the formation, termination and
elements possibly affecting contract performance such as
fraud, misrepresentation, duress or any other rights and
obligations (IFSB 2005).
Shariah risk
When an Islamic financing facility is ruled invalid in the
court of law due to say, fraud and misrepresentation,
Shariah risk can then be defined as the potential loss to the
Islamic bank arising from the nullification of contracts with
adverse impact on banks earnings. In general, Shariah risk
originates from credit risk. It is triggered by default on BBA
debt obligations leading to court hearing for foreclosure
wherein the plaintiff and defendant will put their cases
before the judge. The cost of the lawsuit may include the
compensations and damages paid to customers, returning
profit collected from the Islamic BBA facilities to the
customers, cost of court proceedings and reputation risk.
Shariah risk can emerge many ways
such as:
Foreclosure case against the

customer upon default
Customer seeking a court
declaration that BBA is invalid:
Foreclosure case against the
customer:
The bank filing lawsuit against a customer who has
defaulted on his murabaha/BBA obligation. But the
judgement may turned in favour of the defendant (ie.
customer) such as in the case of Arab-Malaysia Finance v
Taman Jaya when the Judge Dato Wahab Patail ruled the
contracted BBA as a non bona fide sale as it (ie BBA)
constitutes a financing facility with a charge agreement
rather than a sale. As the contract is void, the customer
should only gives back the principle amount advanced to
him by the bank. This also means that the bank must
return the profit it has acquired from the customer, if total
payments at default exceeded the original amount. This
shall be discussed in more detail in Section 10.
Validity of BBA
299
The court ruling by High Court Judge Dato Wahab Patail

concerning the validity of BBA (Abdul Wahad Patail 2008,
Arab-Malaysian Finance vs Taman Ihsan Jaya). It is a civil
court case that revolves around a default by Taman Ihsan
Jaya that had received a BBA facility from Arab Malaysian
Finance Berhad. Since the legal right of the property
remained with the client, the bank was seeking to foreclose
the property in court. Evidence concerning the contract
validity was first sought in the legal documentation of the
facility rather than what the counterparties perceived the
contract to be. The court ruling on July 18th 2008 was in
favour of the defendant as the judge held that the
application of the BBA contract ran contrary to the Islamic
Banking Act 1983, noting that the BBA sale is not a bona
fide sale. As the BBA contract was seen to be faulty, the
defendant was required to return only the original amount
of the BBA facility to the bank, thus affecting the profit
Customer seeking a court declaration
that BBA is invalid:
This action may take place when the customer is facing

difficulties to fulfill his BBA obligations as the housing
developer has abandoned the project. The customer is
paying both rental on the house his family is currently
staying and the BBA monthly payments which is too hard
to carry out. According to BBA contract, the bank who acts
as the selling party must made delivery of the subject
matter upon completion. But the seller/bank has failed to
deliver the property although the customer has made
payments based on the agreed contract. Another case
concerns incorrect use of contract.
High Court Ruling on BBA
301
[69] This court holds that where the bank purchased

directly from its customer (ie PPA) and sold back to the
customer with deferred payment (ie PSA) at a higher price
in total, the sale is not a bona fide sale, but a financing
transaction, and the profit portion of such Al-Bai Bithaman
Ajil facility rendered the facility contrary to the Islamic
Banking Act 1983 or the Banking and Financial Institutions
Act 1989 as the case may be.
[70] Acting upon the basis that the banks action resulted
more likely from a misapprehension rather than of intent
aforethought, the court holds the plaintiffs are entitled
under section 66 of the Contracts Act 1950 to return of the
original facility amount they had extended.
For example, a BBA contract is only suitable for completed
property but many Islamic banks have been using BBA
instead of istisna for housing under construction. There is
a Shariah compliance issue here at stake. In either case,
the customer will file a lawsuit against the Islamic bank for
not fulfilling its obligation. A lawsuit is a civil action brought
before a court in which a party (plaintiff) has claimed to
have received damages (ie. BBA payments without
delivery, rental paid on current premise), the plaintiff,
seeks a legal or equitable remedy.The defendants are
required to respond to the complaint of the plaintiff. If the
plaintiff is successful, judgment will be given in the
plaintiff's favor, and a range of court orders may be issued
to enforce a right, award damages, or impose an injunction
to prevent an act or compel an act. A declaratory judgment
may be issued to prevent future legal disputes.
Loan and BBA financing
Based on the rules of BBA, an illustration is given in the
following. Hamid is keen to purchase a $200,000 apartment
in Kuala Lumpur, which he has seen in person. He will
meet the developer/vendor and sign a Sale and Purchase
agreement (S&P) after placing a 10% down payment, i.e.
$20,000. In conventional practice, Hamid will look for a
bank that can lend him the remaining sum of $180,000.
Assume that Fastbank approves the loan and disburses a
sum of $180,000 to the developer on behalf of Hamid.
Thus, Hamid gets a loan from Fastbank and settled the
remaining balance with the developer on cash basis. Hamid
will pledge the property as collateral via the charge
agreement on the $180,000 loan. Assuming interest rate
at 4% flat over 20 years, Hamid will pay the bank $144,000
more in interest. His monthly installment = ($180,000 +
$144,000) / 240 = $1350.
BBA financing
Once the Fastbank holds ownership via PPA, it then sells the property to
Hamid via the Property Sale Agreement (PSA). The terms are as follows:
Seller (Fastbank) and Buyer (Hamid)
Object of sale : Apartment
Price of object: Cost price $180,000) + profit margin ($144,000) =
$86,000 = $324,000.
Installment payments = $324,000/240 = $1350 per month.
To sum up, conventional financing consists of the following contracts,
namely:
Contract of loan between the Fastbank and Hamid.
Deeds of Assignment/Charge.
BBA financing
The same procedure applies for Islamic banks. But the transaction
becomes complicated when Fastbank is not involved in the sale and
purchase agreement (S & P) with Hamid. Instead similar to conventional
arrangement, Hamid purchases the property from the developer. He puts
up RM20,000 as down payment to secure the Sales and Purchase (S&P)
agreement on his favour. In this manner, Hamid becomes the beneficiary
owner of the property.
But how could Fastbank observe the rules of BBA (to sell the property to
Hamid) when in the first place it does not own the asset? The Holy Prophet
pbuh says do not sell what you do not own. Here FastBank must be
careful not to violate this critical Shariah injunction. To observe this
Shariah rule, Fastbank is expected to purchase the property from Hamid
via the Property Purchase Agreement (PPA for $180,000). Current practice
indicates that the bank makes the $180,000 disbursement to Hamid,
which it (ie. Fastbank) passes on to the developer.
BBA sale
Once the Fastbank holds ownership via PPA, it then sells
the property to Hamid via the Property Sale Agreement
(PSA). The terms are as follows:
Seller (Fastbank) and Buyer (Hamid)
Object of sale : Apartment
Price of object: Cost price $180,000) + profit margin
($144,000) = $86,000 = $324,000.
Installment payments = $324,000/240 = $1350 per month.
BBA financing
Similar with conventional practice, the house will be placed
as a collateral via the Deeds of Assignment or Charge. It
says that the bank holds the right of beneficial ownership
of the property in the manner that it holds the right to sell
if when Hamid defaults on the BBA facility.
To summarize, BBA sale consists of three contracts,
namely:
Property Purchase Agreement (PPA): Bank buys property
from customer.
Property Sale Agreement (PSA): Bank sells property to
customer at BBA price.
Statement of Appeal Court on IBA
1983
308
The trial judge had misinterpreted the meaning of 'Islamic

banking business' under s 2 of the Islamic Banking Act 1983 ('the
Act'). 'Islamic banking business' as defined in s 2 of the Act
does not mean banking business whose aims and
operations are approved by all the four mazhabs. Further,
the judges in civil courts should not take it upon themselves to
declare whether a matter is in accordance to the religion of Islam
or otherwise as it needs consideration by eminent jurists who are
properly qualified in the field of Islamic jurisprudence. Moreover,
as we had the legal infrastructure to ensure that Islamic banking
business as undertaken by the banks in this country did not
involve any element not approved by Islam, the court had to
assume that the Syariah Advisory Council under the aegis of Bank
Negara Malaysia had discharged its statutory duty to ensure that
the operation of the Islamic banks was within the ambit of Islam
(see paras 29-32 & 35).
Measurement of Shariah
risk
Exposure to BBA financing means that Islamic banks are
equally concerned with credit risk. In managing credit risk,
they are required to measure the expected loss (EL) as well
as unexpected loss (UL) from their credit financing
portfolios.
Expected loss is covered by banks provisioning for bad
debts while unexpected loss (UL) is to be absorbed by
banks capital.
However, loss from Shariah risk is unique because it
originates from BBA defaults, thus tieing it to credit risk
rather than operational risk. At the moment Islamic banks
in Malaysia are more concerned with the court ruling by
High Court Judge Dato Wahab Patail in Malaysia concerning
the invalidity of BBA (Abdul Wahad Patail 2008, Arab-
Malaysian Finance vs Taman Ihsan Jaya).
Measurement of Shariah
risk
It is a civil court case that revolves around a default by Taman
Ihsan Jaya who had received a BBA facility from Arab Malaysian
Finance Berhad. Since the legal right of the property still remains
with the client, the bank seeks to foreclose the property in court.
Evidences concerning contract validity are first sought in the legal
documentation of the facility rather than what the counterparties
perceived the contract to be.
The court ruling dated July 18th 2008 ran in favour of the
defendant as the judge that the application of the BBA contract
before the court ran contrary to the Islamic Banking Act 1983 with
a note that the BBA sale is not a bona fide sale. As the BBA
contract was seen faulty, the defendant is required to return only
the original amount of the BBA facility to the bank, thus affecting
the profit already realized by the bank.
Some except of the judges opinion are given below
(MLJ 2008):
[69] This court holds that where the bank purchased

directly from its customer (ie PPA) and sold back to the
customer with deferred payment (ie PSA) at a higher price
in total, the sale is not a bona fide sale, but a financing
transaction, and the profit portion of such Al-Bai Bithaman
Ajil facility rendered the facility contrary to the Islamic
Banking Act 1983 or the Banking and Financial Institutions
Act 1989 as the case may be.
[70] Acting upon the basis that the banks action resulted
more likely from a misapprehension rather than of intent
aforethought, the court holds the plaintiffs are entitled
under section 66 of the Contracts Act 1950 to return of the
original facility amount they had extended.
Continue..
Although Abdul Wahab Patails ruling was later overturned by the
Court of Appeal, it is imperative that the loss incurred by the bank
is estimated if the customer had instead seek a court declaration
for BBA invalidation or if the Court of Appeal agrees with the
judges ruling. We will consider three situations involving a BBA
default and the ruling based on section 66 of the Contract Act
1950 that is, to return the original facility amount to the bank.
The three situations are given below:
Case A: Paid amount is less than original facility, which is
equivalent to 75 monthly payments before defaulting.
Case B: Paid amount is equal to original facility which is
Case C: Paid amount is more than original facility which is
Based on the contract between Fastbank
and Mr. Hamid, the total murabaha
obligation is $324,000 with the original
facility at $180,000.
The financing is for 20 years (240 moths)
at 4% flat profit rate per annum.
Price of object: Cost price $180,000 +
profit margin $144,000 = $324,000.
Installment payment: $324,000/240 =
$1,350 per month ($750 principal
portion + $600 profit portion).
Example: Case A
Case A1: Mr. Hamid has paid $101,250 (75 months monthly
installment) before defaulting. The outstanding balance is
$222,750. However, the court has ruled the nullification of
BBA and the profits elements of the 75 installments paid
are to be clawed back and returned back to the customer.
The court requires him to pay extra $123,750 representing
the unpaid capital portion.
Basically, the total of amount of the unpaid financing will
be $222,750. The amount represents the 165 months of
unpaid monthly installments ($1,350 x 165 months =
$222,750). However, the court settlement requires Mr.
Hamid to pay another $123,750 ($180,000 - $56,250 =
$123,750) being the capital portion of original financing. In
other words, any profit portions from the 75 monthly
installments paid are to be returned back to the customer.
Continue..Case A
Impliedly, the court judgment states that the financing that was
based on trading of asset was not a bona fide sale and therefore,
there shall be no profits recognized from the transaction.
Therefore, the bank has to claw back any profits that have been
recognized so far. This means, there will be adjustments to be
taken up to the current years profits and the retained earnings
brought forward.
From the 75 monthly installments paid by the customers, the
bank has recognized $45,000 profit paid. Therefore, $45,000 must
be reversed out or clawed back from the bank current years
profits plus retained earnings brought forward and to be returned
back to the customer. The result of the clawed back resulting
the bank to loss $45,000. Here, the customer is appearing to
gain $45,000 as a result from the court injunction notwithstanding
that his liability is now $123,750.
Net payment to Bank = $123,750 - $45,000 =$78,750.

Islamic Banking Strategies
To increase revenues:
Retain and expand client base
Improve cross-selling opportunities
Increase customer profitability through a better understanding
of behavior, needs, and preferences
Detect and deter fraudulent activity such as money laundering
and identity theft
Address globalization issues, cross-border Islamic banking
performances, capitalization
Better manage the risk associated with investments, credit
and financing and consumer bankruptcies
Increase efficiency of core business (eg. retail) processes such
as call center management, processing of financing
applications, etc.
Comply with industry regulations .
Religiosity = Ethics and Law MAQASID
Religiosity = Niche products
Niche products larger revenues blue ocean
BUT
Religiosity AQAD alone credit culture
cannot compete with large conventional
banks that run on credit too!
Islamic banks running on credit are expected
to plan and strategize smartly to remain
competitive in the global environment. To do
so, they must have access to information that
help them make faster decisions.
Credit based Banking: Bank Failure - Bank of
