Ijarah Thumma Al-Bai’ (AITAB) also known as Hire Purchase-i (HP-i) is a system of buying goods on credit involving three parties namely a dealer, a hirer and an owner. The ownership of the goods bought under HP-i is not passed to the hirer at the time of the HP-i agreement is signed or upon delivery of the goods. The ownership will remain with the owner until the hirer has fully paid the rental as stated in the agreement. Unlike the conventional hire purchase, the transfer of ownership in HP-i is only completed once the sales agreement is executed.
