2. mudarabah

3. Nature of Mudarabah Financing
Mudarabah is a contract in which one party provides capital ( Rabbul mal/ capital provider) and the other party provides work (Mudarib / entrepreneur)
Profits : Shared between the parties according to a predetermined profit sharing ratio
Losses : To be borne by the capital providers-
Violation of the stipulated contract by the entrepreneur , the entrepreneur bears such loss
Is the capital provider a sleeping partner?

4. Some Legal Principles of Mudarabah Transactions
Profit: the amount received that exceeds the capital
Profit Sharing Ratio should be determined at the time of contracting and profit to be shared should be known
Capital provider bears the loss unless due to trespass or omission
Offer and Acceptance
Capital (can be trade & non- monetary assets)
No debt to be treated as capital
Manner of disbursement (lump sum or in several installments)

5. Some Legal Principles of Mudarabah Transactions (continued)
Profit Recognition
1. Realisation Method: according to Hanbali and Shafie is when the revenue is earned i.e. after determining its costs
2. Distribution Method: according to Maliki it is realised upon distribution between the two parties
No work interference by capital provider
The entrepreneur should comply with Shari’ah rules
The entrepreneur should comply with capital provider’s instructions
No guarantee of recovery of fund except for betrayal guarantee (performance bond)

6. Forms of Mudarabah Transactions
Bilateral Mudarabah (Simple Mudarabah)
One party of capital provider and another party of entrepreneur
Re-Mudarabah (Two tier Mudarabah) : Three parties and includes capital provider intermediate Mudarib (entrepreneur) and final mudarib (entrepreneur)
Multilateral Mudarabah:
Several parties of capital provider and one party of entrepreneur
If there is one party of capital provider and several parties of entrepreneurs will it be still considered as multilateral mudarabah?

12. Recognition and Measurement of Mudarabah Financing
FAS 3, Mudarabah Financing is a standard for the provision of Mudarabah financing by the Islamic banks and does not deal with the deposit side of receiving the funds on Mudarabah basis

13. Measurement of Mudarabah capital at the end of the financial year after contracting
Measured at initial carry value except for repayment of capital which should be deducted from the Mudarabah financing.
However if the partial loss of the capital occurs (eg. theft and fire) before the work on the Mudarabah is started (and not due to negligence of the Mudarib), this should also be deducted from Mudarabah financing account and debit to P & L
If the whole of Mudarabah capital is lost, Rabbul Mal must bear the loss and terminate the contract
Any unpaid amounts remaining becomes a receivable of the bank from ex-mudarib.

14. Non Monetary MudarabaH capital
Is discouraged by fuqaha
Valued at fair value , any difference between fair value and book value goes to the profit and loss
