bullet   How do I calculate the price of Attijari Al Islami Vehicle Finance? Are the payments similar to a conventional Vehicle loan? If so, is this acceptable under the Shari'a (Islamic law)?

Commercial Bank of Dubai determines the rates on Attijari Al Islami Vehicle Finance using a fixed payment scheme that is competitive with conventional Vehicle loans available in the market. As determined by our Shari'a Supervisory Board, Shari'a permits using the conventional market as a benchmark.

According to the Shari'a, the profit rate in a Murabahah transaction can be set at any value agreed between the buyer and seller. Also remember that under Murabahah financing, Commercial Bank of Dubai is acting as a Vehicle seller and not a moneylender. There is no particular reason why a Vehicle financed Islamically should be any more or less expensive than a Vehicle financed using a conventional Vehicle loan. The criterion for acceptability by the Shari'a is that the transaction be compliant with Shari'a, regardless of the price of the good or how that price is determined.
