Abstract
This article describes two generic structures used in Shari'ah-compliant home purchase financings: the murabaha (cost-plus sale) and tawarruq (pre-structured cost-plus sale). The same structures are widely used in commercial real estate financings, project and infrastructure financings, and a wide range of other financings.
