Answer first

This draft does not interpret a product’s Shariah basis. It shows only how to record disclosed cash flows before taking the current provider documents to a qualified reviewer.

How to decide

Do not infer contract, rebate, charge, protection or governance treatment from a category label. Record the exact wording and figures from the provider’s current disclosure and offer without paraphrasing them as advice.

A practical process

Write down amount received, every scheduled payment, number of payments and separately disclosed charges. Ask the provider or an appointed qualified reviewer to explain any product-specific terminology.

Limits and next step

Product-specific Shariah descriptions remain suppressed until a named qualified reviewer approves them. Check the linked primary source and its captured date before making a commitment.
