Hi there,
Modaraba also known as Mudaraba is an Islamic finance term and is one of the most popular Islamic banking contracts around the world.
Modaraba is essentially a trust finance contract which is based on a partnership where there is an investor and a working partner who manages the investment.In this contract there is a clauses of what is permissible and restricted as follows:
- A modaraba contract is always based on equal risk sharing
- Profit and losses must be shared equally in a modaraba contract investment
- The investment should be Shariah compliant which means that it should comply to the Islamic financial rulings.
- The investment under the Modoraba contract cannot be for any unlawful purpose such as gambling.
- Interest is prohibited in the Modoraba contract and in all forms of Islamic financial transactions therefore there should be no debt in this mode of financing.
I hope this helps to answer your question :)
