Islamic Loan Islamic LoanA loan that interest cannot be charged on. Instead, the loan is structured using discounts, sale or lease, profit participation, or repurchase agreements.Islamic LoanAny form of financing made according to Islamic law, which forbids the payment or receipt of interest. An Islamic loan may be an interest-free loan, but often it is a more complex transaction. For example, a bank could buy an asset for cash and then re-sell it to the "borrower" for a profit such that the profit is the same as the bank would have made had it extended a regular loan. Other types may involve the bank becoming a partner with the "borrower" so that both co-own the asset or business that the loan finances, and the borrower gradually buys the bank's share of ownership with a series of payments. Strictly speaking, most Islamic loans are partnerships or joint ventures, but they are called loans because they accomplish much the same thing as conventional loans.
