Accounting for Murabahah, Murabaha to the Purchase Orderer المرابحة والمرابحة للا مر بالشراء ل س ع ل كم جناح أن تبتغوا فضلا من ربكم it is no crime for you to seek the bounty of your lord (Al Baqarah 2:198).. واستدل عل ا بالق اس على التول ة فقد اشترى رسول الله (ص) لل جرة بالتول ة لا ن ح ن أراد أبو بكر بت ا ل قال بل بالثمن.. الناقة من أبي بكر The Murabaha is also analogous to a form of sale called Tawliyyah (to sell as per the purchasing price without making profit. This is because the Prophet (BBUH) purchased a she-camel from Abubaker for use as transportation means to migrate to Medina. Abubaker had wanted to give it to the prophet free of charge but the prophet refused and said: I will preferably take it at the acquisition price.

2 Chapter 7. Accounting for Murabahah, Murabaha to the Purchase Orderer المرابحة والمرابحة للا مر بالشراء 7.1 Introduction If you are still with me after the previous two long (and perhaps boring) chapters, you will be well rewarded. This is the first chapter where we start making accounting entries (at last!). Murabaha or cost plus markup sale is the first of asset based financing contracts employed by Islamic banks. It is the most widely used financing instrument as it somehow resembles a loan contract. Other asset based financing contracts are salam and istisna a. In contrast to these, we have contract based on services i.e ijarah, ijarah muntahia bi tamlik (or ijarah thumma al bai (the Malaysian version) and wakalah (agency contracts). In this chapter, we will first define murabaha, murabaha to the purchase orderer. We will then discuss the rules and principles of the contracts to understand what) accounting entries are needed. We will then learn the accounting entries on contract intiation, instalment receipts, revenue recognition, recognition and measurement of assets, and the accounting treatments for termination, deposits and penalties. I will illustrate with some examples and will finally leave you to do the problems in the chapter some of which have answers at the back of the book. 7.2 Definition of Murabaha and Murabaha to the purchase orderer. When a business wants to purchase an asset, they have four choices: (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) (v) pay cash difficult if it is a big ticket item, say vehicle, machinery or buildings get it on credit from the vendor, possibly through interest free credit card; you can forget about getting interest free credit from a car dealer or housing developer. Get a loan to buy the asset either from a conventional financial institution. Get an Islamic financing from an IFI. Defer or forget about the intended purchase. In a conventional financing, the buyer usually pays a deposit to the vendor and the remaining amount is financed through a loan or hire purchase or leasing, the substance of which is he pays in installments, include interest for the time, he uses the bank s money. If he goes to an Islamic Financial Institution, he has various financing options; murabaha, musharaka mutanaqissa, ijarah muntahi bitamlik and others (if the goods are not available, salam and istisna can be used). We will learn murabaha in this chapter and the rest later, inshaallah.

3 Chapter 7. Accounting for Murabahah, Murabaha to the Purchase Orderer المرابحة والمرابحة للا مر بالشراء Definition of Murabaha and Murabaha to the Purchase Orderer. There are two types of Murabaha viz. Murabaha and Murabaha to the Puchase Orderer. We also have the controversial Malaysian Bai Bithaman Ajil. In Islam, a sale (sarf) can take place in the following ways: (i) (ii) (iii) on the spot exchange, where the buyer gets the goods and pays the price to the seller on the spot. Sale for deferred payment (bai al muajjal), where the seller sells the goods but the pays the agreed price at a future date in a full lump sum or in installments over a period. The buyer pays in advance for an agreed kind, quality, quantify of goods and the seller either makes it to order (istisna) or buys or produces it (salam) and delivers it to the buyer at a later agreed date. Murabaha comes under (ii), and in its original practice, not necessarily a credit sale. FAS2 defines murabaha as follows: Definitions A Murabaha is defined by Fuqaha (jurists) as the sale of goods at cost plus an agreed profit mark up.its characteristic is that the seller should inform the purchaser of the price at which he purchased the product and stipulate an amount of profit in addition to this. The Murabaha conditions include the following: a. The Islamic bank should make the cost or capital outlay known to the client. b. The first contract should be valid. c. The contract should be free of usury. d. The Islamic bank should disclose any fault which occurs after the purchase and should disclose all what is related to the fault. e. The Islamic bank should disclose the terms applicable to the purchase price, for example if the purchase was on credit.

4 Chapter 7. Accounting for Murabahah, Murabaha to the Purchase Orderer المرابحة والمرابحة للا مر بالشراء f. If any of the conditions in (a), (d) or (e) is not met, the purchaser shall have the option to: 1. proceed with the sale as it is; 2. have recourse to the seller for the discrepancy; or 3. cancel the contract. It is worth noting that a Murabaha sale in the above context means the selling of a product owned by the seller at the time of negotiation and contracting. (FAS 2, appendix B) It is also worth noting, that murabaha is not necessarily a sale on credit or deferred basis but to avail the experience of an expert buying agent. However, as practiced by Islamic banks, it is invariably due the need for credit that it is practiced. Under fiqh rules, the price for a murabaha sale need not be paid on spot, It can be deferred either to one lump sum in the future or paid in a series of installments. As a mode of Islamic financing product, we can redefine murabaha as a sale in which the Islamic bank informs the customer of its own cost and the profit it is taking on the transaction and where the sale price is paid in installments over an agreed period of time. We can depict the murabaha transaction as follows: VENDOR ISLAMIC BANK (3) CUSTOMER (1) (2) Fig 7.1: Murabaha transaction (1) The banks buys the goods for murabaha sale from the vendor and pays for it. (2) The Bank enters into a murabaha contract with a customer and delivers the good. (3) The customers pays the bank in installments over the contract period.

5 Chapter 7. Accounting for Murabahah, Murabaha to the Purchase Orderer المرابحة والمرابحة للا مر بالشراء Some Islamic banks such as the Kuwait Finance House practices this model, in the case of motor car financing. The bank has warehouses, where it keeps its cars which it has bought from manufacturers or dealers. The customer wanting to purchase a car with financing goes to the warehouse and selects a car, informs the bank and signs the murabaha contract. He drives off with the car and pays for it later in installments. However, most Islamic banks do not want to do this, as it involves trading and it is risky in the sense that the bank is an owner of the bought goods (and this is reflected in the balance sheet as inventory) and is thus liable for risk of loss, damage and decline in value until the time it manages to sell it to a customer. Hence, in most cases, Islamic Banks use Murabaha to the Purchase Orderer. This is defined as follows: Definitions Murabaha to the purchase orderer is a sale in which two parties or more negotiate and promise each other to execute an agreement according to which the orderer asks the purchaser to purchase an asset of which the latter will take legal possession. The orderer promises the purchaser to purchase the asset from him and give the ordered a profit thereon. The two parties would conclude a sale after the possession of the ordered to the asset (1). However, the purchase orderer may or may not be obliged to conclude the sale. (FAS 2 Appendix B1/2/1) We can depict the Murabaha to the purchase orderer as follows: The Murabaha to the Purchase Orderer transaction can be depicted as follows: VENDOR (2) ISLAMIC BANK (1) (3) CUSTOMER

6 Chapter 7. Accounting for Murabahah, Murabaha to the Purchase Orderer المرابحة والمرابحة للا مر بالشراء (4) Fig 7.2: Murabaha to the Purchase orderer transaction. (1) The customer orders the bank to purchase goods, which it promises (this may be binding or non binding) to buy from the bank giving it some profit. (2) The bank buys and pays for the goods from the vendor. (3) The banks executes a murabaha contract of sale to the customer and delivers the goods. (4) The customer pays for the goods on an installment basis to the bank. 7.3 Rules, principles and complexities in Murabaha. Besides the principles mentioned in the definition box of murabaha, we should note the following: In a murabaha to the purchase orderer, the promise to buy of the customer (the purchase orderer) may be binding or non binding. This result from different shari a opinions. One group of scholars view that the promise is non-binding because: (a)the bank cannot sell what it does not possess (at the time of making the promise) (b) The goods may be defective, deficient or unnecessary when delivered. However, this will present problems to the Islamic banks as it incurs cost to purchase the goods and as a financing institution would not want to be left with unsold inventory. In order to reduce the risk of the Islamic bank, the bank may require a deposit from the orderer (potential customer) to ensure his seriousness. Under the shari a, there are two types of deposits which the bank can demand. One is known as Hamish jiddiyah and the other urboun, each with different characteristics. These two deposits are defined by FAS2 as follows: Definitions Hamish jiddiyyah It is the amount paid by the purchase orderer upon request of the purchaser to make sure that the orderer is serious in his order of the asset. However, if the promise is binding and the purchase orderer declines to purchase the asset, the actual loss incurred to the purchaser shall be made good from this amount. Urboun It is the amount paid by the client (orderer) to the seller (i.e., the original purchaser) when the former purchases an asset from the

7 Chapter 7. Accounting for Murabahah, Murabaha to the Purchase Orderer المرابحة والمرابحة للا مر بالشراء Hamish Jiddiyayah is problematic, because, in case of a non-binding promise, the bank will have to return the deposit in full to the potential customer, even if it subsequently incurs a loss in selling the goods, which the original orderer had refused to take delivery. In case, the promise is binding and the customer declines, the bank can deduct any losses and expenses it incurs on transaction from the deposit and return the excess. If the loss is greater than the deposit, the customer becomes liable for the balance. In case of urboun deposit, this is deducted from the purchase price if the customer proceeds with the sale. If not, the customer looses his deposit, even if the deposit is more than the loss incurred by the bank. In order to make it safer for Islamic banks, it should make the contract a binding promise and then require Hamish Jiddiyah or Urboun. However, this does not solve the problem of credit risk i.e. payment default by customer. To mitigate this, the bank may request for a guarantee from the customer. The goods sold under murabaha can be a collateral for the debt. In this case, however, the customer cannot sell the goods untl the debt is repaid to the bank. In the case of late payment and procrastination by the customer, the bank normally cannot levy any penalty as this would amount to interest. If the shari a board agree on a penalty, then this penalty cannot be recognized as revenue but given away as charity. The Islamic bank can institute legal proceedings to recover the debt and financial damage caused by procrastination (e.g. legal fees, lost opportunity ). Unless

8 Chapter 7. Accounting for Murabahah, Murabaha to the Purchase Orderer المرابحة والمرابحة للا مر بالشراء the goods sold are collateral, the goods cannot be taken by the Islamic bank to settle outstanding debt. If the indebted owner is insolvent and fails to settle the debt, the bank should defer collection until he becomes solvent. If the bank gets a discount on the purchase price, this will belong to the bank unless it was obtained at the time of making the promise to buy (by the customer) or before the Murabaha sale was concluded. The last rule to consider is early settlement of the debt or a lump sum payment before scheduled time. Since, the transaction is a sale, the bank is under no obligation to give a discount to the customer. However, due to competitive pressures, the Islamic banks do give a discount for early settlement. This is allowed under the shari a and is called ibra. The amount must be agreed between the bank and the customer at the time of settlement or before the lump sum payment is made. Bai bithamin ajil model has been discussed in chapter?? and will not elaborated here. However, we will do an illustration of the accounting entries for the BBA later. 7.4 Recognition and Measurement and Journal Entries.

(not to over value- prudence & protect the purchaser) Without Obligation: Assets should be measured at cash equivalent value. (reflect current value & protect the bank/ financier) A provision should reflect any decline between the acquisition cost and cash equivalent value. Price discount if obtained after acquisition should not be treated as revenue but to reduce the cost of the relevant goods unless agreed by SSB. Upon financing the customer: Murabaha receivables should be recorded (by the bank) at face value (cash equivalent value) less provision for doubtful debts Income recognition of Murabaha financing assets Profits are recognized at time of contracting for cash or credit transaction not exceeding the current financial period. If credit period > one financial period with a single or several installment, the recognition methods are: Accrual basis method

The bank would take a profit of 8% per annum on a constant rate of return on the financing it provided to Zaitun. Payment to be made on a semi-annual basis. A penalty charge of 5% of the outstanding amount would be made for any payments more than 30 days late. The Shariah Supervisory Board of Hong Leong Islamic Bank had declared that any penalty on contracts can be taken as revenue of the company provided that the customer has been informed about it. Otherwise no penalty could be charged. In 2008, Zaitun industries paid the instalment due on 30 June 2008, only on 30 th August and was charged penalty which it disputed because it was not told about the penalty clause and the contract accidentally omitted it. It also informed Hong Leong Islamic Bank that it would like to pay the balance of the price on January 1 st and requested HLIB for a rebate based on ibra principles. HLIB decided to give an ibra of 20% of the remaining profit. Zaitun paid off the requested amount to HLIB and ended the contract. Required: (i) Give the journal entries for year 2006, year 2008 and year 2009 in the books of HLIB together with the extract of the Balance Sheet and Income Statement for the year ended 31 st December from the beginning until the end of the contract.

22 decided to rent the machinery until the 5 year ijarah contract expired. Give the journal entries in the books HLIB for 2006 and 2010 as well as the income statement and balance sheet for 31 st December 2006 and 2010 provide HLIB follows FAS8 of AAOIFI. Depreciate the machine on a straight line basis with no residual value. (iii) From the difference in treatment of the above transactions suggest reasons why Islamic banks in Malaysia rejected the original ED on MASBi- 2 on Ijarah which closely followed FAS8?
