Key Concept: Sukuk Ijarah structures can accommodate both fixed and floating rental payments.
Fixed Rental Payments: (Not explicitly discussed in the provided text, but implied)
- Rental amount is predetermined and remains constant throughout the lease period.
- Rental amount is periodically adjusted based on a pre-agreed benchmark.
- Example: Malaysian Global Sukuk Ijarah: Rental revised every six months.
- Benchmark: London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR).
- Shari'ah Compliance: Using conventional benchmarks (like LIBOR) is permissible if:
- Both lessee and lessor agree to the benchmark before the lease contract is signed.
- The benchmark serves only as a reference point for determining the cost of funds and, consequently, the new rental amount.
- The structure remains free from any actual interest-based transactions or dealings.
- The benchmark is solely a reference point.
- No actual payment or charging of interest occurs within the Sukuk structure.
