Dubai Islamic Bank (DIB) MyHome Home Finance
Islamic Home Financing in Sharjah
DIB's home finance platform covering ready property, off-plan (up to 50% finance value), self-construction, non-resident purchases (up to 70%, 15-year tenor) and government housing schemes, across all 7 emirates. Financing up to 85% for UAE nationals and 80% for expatriates, tenors up to 25 years, and eligibility to age 70. Pricing is EIBOR (3, 6 or 12 month, customer's choice) plus a margin, with introductory fixed rates for 3 to 5 years, and - uniquely per DIB - a fixed rate for the entire life of the finance available via the Ijarah contract. Salary transfer is not required; salary-transfer customers get special margin and floor rates plus fee waivers. First Step online pre-approval is instant, free and paperless. The MBRHE partnership gives UAE nationals zero profit rate on amounts up to AED 1 million under the Mohammed Bin Rashid Housing Establishment program.
MyHome is the most structurally transparent home finance in the UAE big three: DIB does not just claim Shariah compliance, it publishes the Ijarah process, a sample illustration and four contract-specific certificates so you can see exactly which structure wraps your deal. The killer feature is the life-of-finance fixed rate through Ijarah - no other UAE bank offers it per DIB, and for buyers who remember 2022-23 EIBOR spikes it is genuine insurance. Nationals eligible for MBRHE should treat the zero-profit first million as the anchor of any comparison. What is missing is the pricing itself: margins live in a base-rates PDF, so you cannot rate-shop from the page the way Emirates Islamic's 1% processing / 0% buyout disclosure allows. Get the margin quote, then weigh the fixed-for-life option hard.
Pros
- Four published contract-specific Sharia certificates plus an Ijarah process walkthrough, the deepest structural disclosure in the cluster
- Life-of-finance fixed rate eliminates EIBOR risk entirely, unique per DIB's claim
- All 7 emirates covered including non-residents
- Zero-profit MBRHE tranche is unbeatable for eligible nationals
- No salary transfer requirement
Cons
- Actual margins and current base rates are behind a rates PDF rather than printed on the page
- Maximum finance amount not disclosed (Emirates Islamic prints AED 25 million)
- Special pricing and fee waivers for salary-transfer customers are limited-period offers
- Non-residents capped at 70% and 15 years

Shariah Compliance & Oversight
DIB's Internal Sharia Supervision Committee (ISSC) has five members appointed by the 2024 General Assembly for a three-year term ending February 2027, with the appointments approved by the Higher Sharia Authority of the Central Bank of the UAE: Prof. Dr. Mohammad Abdul Rahim Sultan Al Olama (Chairman), Prof. Dr. Mohamed Ali Elgari (Vice Chairman), Prof. Dr. Muhammad Qaseem (Executive Member), Prof. Dr. Mohamad Akram Laldin (Member) and Sheikh Prof. Ibrahim Ali Abdulla Al Mansoori (Member). The ISSC independently supervises transactions, activities and products and its report is ratified at the AGM (dib.ae/about-us/leadership-team/ISSC and AGM disclosures, verified 2026-08-05).

Why It's Halal
DIB publishes four separate Sharia certificates for this platform, naming the contracts: Home Finance Ijarah, Property Finance Istisna and Forward Ijarah, Property Finance Murabaha, and Supply and Installation Murabaha, plus a step-by-step Ijarah process document and sample illustration. Under the Ijarah, the bank owns the property and leases it to the customer, which is what enables the life-of-finance fixed rate DIB advertises as unique to itself (a fixed rent is permissible where fixed interest repricing would not be). The zero-profit MBRHE tranche for nationals is a genuine concessionary structure within the government housing scheme. Rates reference EIBOR as a benchmark, which is standard and accepted practice in Islamic finance for pricing, not for charging interest. Oversight: five-scholar ISSC, CBUAE HSA-approved appointments.
