Classic Credit Card (Charge Card)

What makes this card Islamic

Alinma Bank builds this card on a Qard Hasan contract. The bank lends you the money and you pay back exactly what you borrowed, not a penny more.

Alinma's own "alinma Credit Card / Charge Card Terms and Conditions" carries a section headed (Arabic) "terms specific to the charge card", read by OCR because the PDF's Arabic text layer does not extract as characters (font ToUnicode issue). It opens by describing the charge card as one the customer repays in full monthly with no riba-based return, then states that the amount debited from the charge card's credit limit at the transaction-registration date is treated as a loan (qard) from the Bank to the customer, recorded on the customer's account, and that the Bank charges no fee for issuing, renewing or using the card beyond what is listed in its own fee schedule. This is the qard hasan structure the corpus already uses for Standard Bank South Africa's charge card (research/structures.json). The English half of the same PDF omits this clause. Distinct from Alinma's revolving credit cards, whose installment-service terms name Murabahah (see the S02 addendum in research/raw/SA-notes-riyad-bsf-anb-sab.md).

Approved by Alinma Bank Shariah Board, under the supervision of Saudi Central Bank (SAMA).

Before you apply

• No fee, profit rate or points earn rate is published anywhere on Alinma's site for the charge card range — every cost figure for this card is unverified.
• Alinma markets these as 'Credit Card (Charge Card)', which is easy to confuse with its separately-priced credit cards carrying the same tier names.
