  • Istisna'a with Parallel Istisna'a

    • CA-3.4.11

      In cases where an Islamic bank licensee enters into a parallel Istisna'a contract to procure an asset from a party other than the original Istisna'a customer (buyer), the price risk relating to input materials is mitigated. The Islamic bank licensee remains exposed to the counterparty risk of the parallel Istisna'a seller in delivering the asset on time and in accordance with the Istisna'a ultimate buyer's specifications. This is the risk of not being able to recover damages from the parallel Istisna'a seller for the losses resulting from the breach of contract.

    • CA-3.4.12

      The failure of the parallel Istisna'a seller to deliver a completed asset which meets the ultimate buyer's specifications does not discharge the Islamic bank licensee's obligations to deliver the asset ordered under an Istisna'a contract, and thus exposes the Islamic bank licensee to potential loss in making good the shortcomings or obtaining the supply elsewhere.
