Applicable Shariah Structure:
- Commodity Murabahah Structure
The Islamic Cross Currency Swap under the commodity Murabahah structure seeks to achieve Shariah-compliance by using Commodity Murabahah Transactions. The Commodity Murabahah transaction is a sale arrangement whereby a counterparty purchases Shariah permissible commodities from a supplier (at a cost price) and then sells such Shariah permissible commodities to another party at a marked-up price to include the counterparty’s profit margin. - Bai` al-Sarf (Currency Exchange) and Wa`d (Undertaking/Promise) Structure
The Islamic Cross Currency Swap under the Wa`d structure seeks to achieve Shariah-compliance by applying a stream of Bai al-Sarf Transactions. One party will make a Wa`d to enter into Bai al-Sarf, which is a Contract of Exchange. The party will exchange one currency for another currency with its counterparty. The two currencies can be of different amounts but must be exchanged between the two parties on the same day.
