Islamic Lending Sydney Inner West
Halal, Shariah-Compliant Home Finance Without Interest
Access ethical Islamic home finance structured under Shariah principles, without riba. We help Australian Muslims across Sydney’s Inner West and Western Sydney secure halal solutions for buying, investing, or refinancing property.
What Is Islamic Home Finance?
Islamic lending (also known as Islamic financing or Shariah-compliant financing) is an ethical alternative to conventional banking. Under Sharia law and Shariah principles, charging or paying interest (riba) is prohibited. Instead, finance is based on asset-backed structures, shared risk, and transparent profit.
Common Islamic home finance models used in Australia include:
Murabaha (Cost-Plus Home Finance)
The financial institution purchases the property and sells it to the borrower at a disclosed profit margin. Repayments are fixed and transparent, making this a popular Islamic home loan alternative.
Ijarah Finance (Lease-to-Own)
Under Ijarah finance, the lender acquires the property and leases it to the borrower. Ownership transfers gradually as payments are made, aligning with Shariah compliance requirements.
Musharaka (Partnership Finance)
You and the lender jointly purchase the property. Over time, you buy out the lender’s share while paying rent on their portion. This partnership-based Islamic home finance model promotes fairness and shared responsibility.
These structures allow Muslim borrowers to access home loans in Australia without compromising Islamic values.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Islamic lending and how does it work in Australia?
Islamic lending (also known as Islamic finance or Shariah-compliant financing) is an ethical form of home finance that does not involve interest (riba). Instead of traditional loans, Islamic finance uses asset-backed structures such as Murabaha, Ijarah, and Musharaka. In Australia, these structures are legally recognised and operate in line with local lending laws while adhering to Islamic principles.
Is Islamic home finance legal in Sydney and Australia?
Yes. Islamic home finance is fully legal in Australia, including Sydney’s Inner West and Western Sydney. While the structure differs from conventional banking, Islamic finance products still comply with Australian regulations and are offered by licensed financial institutions and non-bank lenders.
Do Islamic home loans cost more than conventional loans?
Not necessarily. While Islamic home finance does not charge interest, it includes a disclosed profit component instead. When structured correctly, the overall cost can be competitive with standard home loans, particularly when working with a broker experienced in Islamic lending.
What is the difference between Murabaha, Ijarah, and Musharaka?
These are the most common Shariah-compliant home finance models in Australia:
Murabaha – The lender purchases the property and sells it to you at an agreed profit, with fixed repayments.
Ijarah finance – A lease-to-own structure where rent is paid while ownership transfers gradually.
Musharaka – A partnership model where you and the lender co-own the property, and you buy out their share over time.
Each option is structured to comply with Shariah law and suit different financial situations.
Can I refinance a conventional home loan into Islamic finance?
Yes. Many borrowers refinance from interest-based loans into Shariah-compliant Islamic financing. We help assess your existing loan, property equity, and eligibility, then structure a halal home finance solution that aligns with Islamic values.
Who is eligible for Islamic home finance?
Islamic lending may be suitable for:
Practising Muslims seeking interest-free home loans
First-home buyers and families purchasing a halal home
Self-employed borrowers with complex income
Property investors seeking ethical investment property loans
Business owners acquiring property under Islamic principles
Eligibility depends on income, deposit, credit history, and overall financial situation.
How much deposit is required for Islamic home finance?
In most cases, a deposit of 10 to 20% is required, similar to conventional home loans.
The exact amount depends on the lender, property type, and finance structure.
Can Islamic finance be used for investment properties?
Yes. Islamic investment property finance is available and commonly structured using Murabaha or Musharaka models.
These options allow ethical property investment while remaining compliant with Islamic law.
