maksumaksud

Maksumaksud is a concept in Islamic finance that refers to the principle of "profit and loss sharing" or "loss and gain sharing." It is a fundamental principle in Islamic banking and finance, which adheres to the principles of Shariah law. The term "maksumaksud" is derived from Arabic, where "maksud" means "intention" or "purpose," and "maksum" means "shared." The principle of maksumaksud is based on the idea that financial transactions should be conducted in a manner that is fair and equitable to all parties involved.

In Islamic finance, maksumaksud is applied to various financial instruments and transactions. For example, in the context of investment, maksumaksud means that the investor and the financial institution should share the profits and losses of the investment. This is in contrast to conventional finance, where the investor typically bears the sole risk of loss.

The principle of maksumaksud is also applied to the concept of "mudaraba," which is a type of partnership in Islamic finance. In a mudaraba contract, one party (the "mudarib") provides the capital and the other party (the "ra'ib") provides the expertise or skills. The mudarib bears the risk of loss, while the ra'ib bears the risk of capital loss but shares in the profits.

Maksumaksud is a key principle in Islamic finance that ensures fairness and equity in financial transactions. It is based on the idea that financial transactions should be conducted in a manner that is consistent with the principles of Shariah law and that promotes the welfare of all parties involved.
