IjaraCDC Business Plus 7A Financing
Halal Business Financing in Mississippi
Shorter-term Sharia-compliant business financing modeled on the SBA 7(a) framework (Sharia Business Plus 7A program). $250K-$5M with 10-15% down over 7-10 year amortized terms, covering debt refinancing, business acquisitions, inventory, equipment, working capital, and tenant improvements and renovation. Structured as a trust-based Ijara: a single-asset trust purchases the asset and leases it to your business, with each payment split between rent and an equity buyout until title transfers. Funded through IjaraCDC's network of 200+ commercial sources across all 50 states.
The halal answer to an SBA 7(a) loan: shorter-term capital for acquisitions, working capital, equipment, and refinancing at 10-15% down, run through IjaraCDC's trust-based lease-to-purchase structure and its network of 200+ funding sources. The 7-10 year amortization keeps total cost down but demands stronger cash flow than the 25-year property programs, and nothing is priced publicly - the rent factor is quoted per deal and benchmarked against conventional indexes, which IjaraCDC's cited scholars accept with reservations. The fatwa lineage (1995 Dallah Al Baraka through the 2012 Akhoon update) is unusually well documented. Fits growing businesses that need flexible, genuinely riba-free capital, not just a building.

Shariah Compliance & Oversight
IjaraCDC maintains a standing Sharia Advisory Board chaired since 2012 by Mufti Muneer Ahmed Akhoon - Karachi-trained (he studied under Taqi Usmani, among others) and Director of Religious Affairs at the Westchester Muslim Center in Mt. Vernon, NY - who issued the current fatwa on the finance documents. Shaykh Mufti Mohammed-Umer Esmail, a Canadian-born scholar with 13 years of formal Shariah study who also trained under Justice Taqi Usmani, has served as Sharia Advisor since 2009 and issued the fatwa for the Conversion Product; Imam Yahya Abdullah (joined 2013) and Imam Mohamed Radwan Mardini (joined 2015) complete the board. The underlying Lease to Purchase contract carries a documented fatwa lineage: the original 1995 Dallah Al Baraka fatwa (Sh. Muhammad Taqi Usmani, Sh. Nizam Yaquby, Dr. Abdus Sattar Abu Ghuddah, Sh. Abdullah Al Mannae), updated in 1997 for the United Bank of Kuwait's Al-Manzil program, in 2003 for University Bank (Yusuf DeLorenzo, Nizam Yaquby), reviewed in 2006 by Dr. Ahmed Shleibak, extended in 2009 with Esmail's Conversion fatwa, and reissued in 2012 by Akhoon. The current fatwa is downloadable in English, French, and Spanish, and IjaraCDC states the approval covers use in both the USA and Canada. Two honest caveats: Taqi Usmani approved the original 1995 contract but does not serve on IjaraCDC's board (the site says so explicitly), and the primary contract documents - trust agreement, lease, and Promise to Purchase - are released for review only under a signed NDA.
Sharia Advisory Board chaired by Mufti Muneer Akhoon. Shaykh Mufti Mohammed-Umer Esmail serves as advisor.

How to use this comparison: HalalWallet is an independent educational comparison platform - by design, we do not provide financial, legal, or religious advice. We do the research homework so your final checks are quick and personal.
Product structures and Shariah oversight vary by provider, so finish with three built-in steps:
- Confirm current terms and halal compliance directly with the provider - their quote is final.
- Review the contract structure (Murabaha, Ijara, Musharakah, etc.) and any disclosed Shariah board opinions.
- Bring your shortlist to a qualified Islamic finance advisor or scholar, so the conversation is about your situation, not the basics.
