Ijara Community Development Spousal Buyout is available nationwide in Canada. It finances the equity owed to an ex-spouse after a finalized separation agreement. You qualify on a single income. The structure is ijara wa iqtina. Terms are 1 to 5 years, amortized over 25 years, with 10 to 20 percent annual prepayment. No published rates. Manzil is a purchase lender (musharaka in Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan; murabaha in Ontario only). This page does not claim Manzil runs a divorce-buyout desk. Cash, or a sale of the house, is still cleaner if you can avoid financing the buyout.
A conventional bank will offer an interest top-up or refinance to pay the equalization. That is the riba product this page is trying to replace. Compare long-term purchase options on the home financing hub. Related: switching a conventional mortgage to halal.

What the Spousal Buyout File Actually Is
The marriage or common-law relationship is over. A separation agreement is finalized. One spouse will keep the house. The other is owed a dollar amount of equity. Ijara CDC finances that amount so you can pay the departing spouse without taking an interest loan against the home. Board named for this program: Mufti Muneer Akhoon (chair) and Shaykh Mufti Mohammed-Umer Esmail (advisor).

Confirm the separation agreement, the dollar amount owed, title, and how the departing spouse comes off the deed. Do not confirm whether Ijara CDC offers the buyout in your province. It is nationwide.
Manzil Is Not the Buyout Desk
Manzil finances home purchases: musharaka in Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan, and murabaha in Ontario only. If you are buying a different house after the split, that purchase file can sit with Manzil where the province allows, or with Ijara CDC home financing (Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Prince Edward Island). Do not treat a Manzil purchase approval as a spousal-buyout facility.
Steps
- Finish the separation agreement so the equity figure is a number, not a negotiation
- Ask Ijara CDC for the Spousal Buyout file. Skip Manzil for this job
- Send the agreement, title, income, and the amount owed
- Read term, amortization, 10 to 20 percent annual prepay, and how the departing spouse is paid and removed from title
- If the single-income file does not qualify, selling the house may be cleaner than a conventional refinance
