Dain means "debt" and Bai' means ‘‘sale’’.

If a person has a debt receivable from a
person and he wants to sell it at a discount,
as normally happens in the bill of exchange, it
is termed in Shariah as Bai'-al-dain.

A kind of fund where the subscription
amounts are used in different types of
investments like equities, leasing,
commodities etc.

In this case if the tangible assets of the Fund
are more than 51% while the liquidity and
debts are less than 50% the units of the fund
may be negotiable.

if the proportion of liquidity and debts
exceeds 50%, its units cannot be traded
as per contemporary scholars.

In this case the Fund must be a close
ended Fund.
