tawarruq

tawarruq
A method where the financial institution, either directly or indirectly, will buy an asset and immediately sell it to a customer on a deferred payment basis. The customer then sells the same asset to a third party for immediate delivery and payment, the end result being that the customer receives a cash amount and has a deferred payment obligation for the marked-up price to the financial institution. The asset is typically a freely tradeable commodity such as platinum or copper. Gold and silver are treated by Sharia as currency and cannot be used.
