Definition

See Musharakah Mutanaqisah. A co-ownership arrangement where one partner gradually buys out the other's share over time. A widely used halal home financing structure.

The buyer and financial institution co-purchase the property; the buyer's ownership percentage increases with each payment while the institution's share diminishes. Monthly payments typically include a portion that increases the buyer's equity and a rental payment for the institution's share.
