Background of the Study
Islamic finance is a system of financial management and investment that adheres to the principles of Islamic law, or Sharia, which prohibits interest (riba) and investments in activities deemed harmful or unethical, such as gambling and alcohol (Ahmed, 2023). In the context of real estate, Islamic financing offers alternative models, such as Musharakah (profit-sharing), Murabaha (cost-plus financing), and Ijarah (leasing), which align with Islamic principles while providing viable avenues for property development.
In Bauchi State, where a significant portion of the population practices Islam, Islamic finance could play a pivotal role in promoting real estate development by providing an ethical and accessible alternative to conventional financing methods. However, the uptake of Islamic financing models in Bauchi’s real estate sector has not been extensively studied. This research will explore the adoption and effectiveness of Islamic financing models in facilitating real estate development, particularly residential and commercial properties, within the state.
Statement of the Problem
Although Islamic finance has gained recognition in some parts of Nigeria, its application in real estate development in Bauchi State is still limited. Many real estate developers in the state rely on conventional bank loans with high-interest rates, which may not be accessible or ethical for a significant portion of the population. This study seeks to investigate the viability and impact of Islamic financing models in addressing the financing challenges faced by real estate developers in Bauchi State, focusing on their potential for increasing access to capital, promoting sustainable development, and aligning with ethical investment practices.
