Ijara — Bank Purchases Asset for Leasing
An Islamic bank purchases a vehicle to lease to a customer under an Ijara arrangement.
| Account Name | Type | Debit ($) | Credit ($) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ijara Assets (Vehicles / Equipment) | Asset (+) | 30,000.00 | - |
| Cash / Accounts Payable | Asset/Liability (-) | - | 30,000.00 |
💡 Accountant's Note
In an Ijara, the bank owns the asset throughout the lease term. Unlike Murabaha, ownership does not transfer at inception. The bank bears ownership risks and must depreciate the asset on its own books.
