This qualitative research paper considers the recovery issues on Murabahah financing as the theme as to add to the existing Murabahah literature. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the recovery issues on Murabahah financing in Malaysia, specifically on the recovery via court cases. A descriptive and content analysis were performed on six Murabahah cases heard in the Malaysian court extracted from Lexus Nexus database. The results suggest that the issue on ta’widh, Murabahah restructuring and guarantees is of common weight while the issue on ibra is also important lately. Apart from the recovery issues, it is noted that failure to adhere to the guidelines formulated by the regulator persists and heavy reliance on common laws is unavoidable and continue to be the subject matter. Future research should further discuss on the efficiency of the recovery activities and discuss the area of developing Islamic banking laws appropriate to cater for the issues discussed herein.
