RM-3.1.3

One distinct difference between Mudarabah and Musharakah financings is in terms of Islamic bank licensee's involvement in the investments during the contract period. In Mudarabah, the Islamic bank licensee invests its money as a silent partner and, the management is the exclusive responsibility of the other party, namely the Mudarib. In contrast, in Musharakah financing the Islamic bank licensee invests funds with partners, and the Islamic bank licensee may be a silent partner, or may participate in management. Regardless of the authority under which the profit sharing instruments are used, both Musharakah and Mudarabah are profit-sharing financings, under which the capital invested by the provider of finance does not constitute a fixed return, but is explicitly exposed to impairment in the event of losses (capital impairment risk).
