A sale (ba’i) in which the commodity/ item is delivered to the buyer against deferred payment, whether in installments or at the end of the credit period. Credit sale, or in Arabic bai mu’ajjal (also bai al ajel), may come in different forms, particularly: normal sale (musawama) and cost-pus sale (murabaha). This sale is the opposite of the absolute sale (ba’i mutlaq) in which the good and price are exchanged simultaneously at the time of transaction.

It is also known as a sale on credit.
