Buy a Home
Halal Home
With a Murabaha purchase structure, the financing institution acquires the property on your behalf and then sells it to you at a disclosed, fixed markup. You know the total cost from day one, and your name goes on the title at closing. There are no hidden fees, no floating rates, and no ambiguity in the transaction.

Down payment requirements typically range from 3% to 20% depending on the program, property type, and your financial profile. First-time buyers may qualify for lower down payment options. During your consultation, Abdi will review the programs available to you and help identify any down payment assistance opportunities.
In a conventional mortgage, a bank lends you money and charges interest on the balance. In a Murabaha structure, the financing institution purchases the home and then sells it to you at a disclosed, fixed markup paid over time. The key difference is that Murabaha is a sale transaction, not a loan. You know the total cost upfront, your title is in your name from closing, and the structure has been reviewed by Islamic scholars for Sharia alignment.
From pre-approval to closing, the timeline is generally 30 to 45 days once you have an accepted offer, which is comparable to conventional financing. Pre-approval itself can happen quickly after you submit your documents. The overall timeline depends on factors like property appraisal, title work, and underwriting conditions.
Credit score requirements vary by program. Some programs accept scores as low as 580, while others may require 620 or higher for the most competitive terms. If your score needs improvement, Abdi can provide guidance on steps to strengthen your credit profile before you apply. Every situation is different, so a conversation is the best first step.
Absolutely. Halal home financing is available to anyone, regardless of faith. Many non-Muslim buyers choose Murabaha because they appreciate the transparency of a fixed total cost, the absence of floating rates, and the straightforward nature of the transaction. The structure works the same way for every buyer.
Your pre-approval remains valid, so you can continue searching and submit offers on other properties. Pre-approvals typically last 60 to 90 days, and we can renew yours if needed. Many buyers go through several offers before one is accepted, and that is completely normal. Abdi stays in communication throughout the process to make sure your financing is always ready when you need it.
