Warning:
Sharjah Islamic Bank is merely a Promoter/Agent of the Sukuk trading/dealing on the Customer’s behalf on execution basis only and is not liable for any delay or default on Profit distribution by the issuer.in such scenario, the customer is still obliged to pay the Murabaha Profit amount and the principal repayment on the agreed dated as per the Murabaha contract. if the customer, for any reason, failed to meet their obligations , then SIB has the right to take the necessary legal action
 
Early Settlement: the customer can settle the Financing prior to the maturity date that is defined in the Murabaha Contract.  Early settlement will not trigger any additional fees. The customer in this situation will have to pay the total of 1) Financing Principle Amount 2) any unpaid and accrued Murabaha Profit 3) the Murabaha Profit for the remaining period. The bank has the right but not the obligation to waive the unearned Murabaha Profit based on bank’s own discretion.
 
Example: assuming the finance amount is AED 500,000 and the accrued Profit is AED 10,000  , while the unearned profit is AED 30,000, then the customer if he is planning to exit before the maturity date then the due amount will be 500,000 + 10,000 + 30,000 = AED 540,000.
