Failure to give consistent and competitive hibah returns is likely to result in deposit
withdrawals
Thus, in practice, hibah returns are somewhat obligatory (by way of market operation)
De facto required hibah returns seem to attach an additional condition to the
contractual arrangement albeit not formally
Some jurists opine that if the hibah is customary (urf), such widespread practice is
tantamount to an implied term of the contract
Thus the communication of the possibility, and likely magnitude, of benefits accruing
to the lender-depositor should be avoided
Banks should not indicate or advertise hibah rates
Hence many (including IFSB standards) feel that the wadiah contract is not
suitable for the structuring of savings accounts, and should be replaced with the
mudarabah contract
Using the concept of mudarabah, both demand deposits and time deposits can be
structured
Savings Account (demand deposit)
Return to depositor given on the basis of balance held in account calculated at
intervals
Mudarabah investment account (time deposit)
Requires commitment of deposit for specified time periods (for e.g., 3, 6, 9, 12
months)
In the event of early withdrawal, principal usually made available (returned)
to depositor but no return will be given on the deposit
Rates tend to track that of conventional fixed deposit accounts and are generally
higher than savings account rates
Two types are common
General Investment Account (mudarabah mutlaqah)
General mandate given to the bank, standard profit sharing ratio
Specific Investment Account (mudarabah muqayyadah)
Customer specifies constraints on use of capital, negotiated profit
sharing ratio
