Manzil RRSP accounts are available in every Canadian province and territory. The Home Buyers Plan is a Canada Revenue Agency withdrawal rule for a first home, not a Shariah product. It lets you pull from an RRSP for a qualifying home and repay that amount later under CRA rules. Manzil FHSA accounts are also available in every province and territory. On the live FHSA record, qualifying first-home withdrawals are tax-free and there is no repayment obligation, unlike the Home Buyers Plan. Confirm current HBP and FHSA rules on CRA. This page does not invent dollar limits. Start on the investing hub and the home financing hub.

RRSP vs FHSA vs a Halal Mortgage
| Tool | What it is | Halal overlay on this site |
|---|---|---|
| Manzil RRSP | Tax-deductible registered account. HBP is a CRA withdrawal rule that may apply | Available in every province and territory. Contents are AAOIFI-screened on the record |
| Manzil FHSA | First Home Savings Account. Qualifying withdrawals are tax-free on the record | Available in every province and territory. No repayment obligation on the product record, unlike HBP |
| Ijara CDC or Manzil mortgage | The actual house contract | Ijara CDC ijara in 10 provinces. Manzil musharaka in ON, BC, AB, SK; murabaha in Ontario only |
Do not treat an RRSP withdrawal as a substitute for a written mortgage quote. If you still need financing after the down payment, use Ijara CDC or Manzil where those maps allow. Related: FHSA and RRSP in the same year and FHSA after you buy.
What to Confirm With CRA and Manzil
- Whether you are a first-time buyer under the current HBP definition
- The repayment calendar CRA publishes for this withdrawal
- That the RRSP holdings leaving the account are still the holdings you intended, including cash that must not sit in interest
- Whether an FHSA withdrawal is available instead, with no HBP-style repayment on the Manzil FHSA record
- The mortgage product you will actually close: Ijara CDC or Manzil, not a conventional bank residual
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Home Buyers Plan halal?
HBP is a CRA withdrawal rule. Halal depends on what the RRSP holds and how the house is financed afterward. Manzil RRSP is the registered overlay on this site. Confirm the holdings and the mortgage contract separately.
Should I use FHSA or HBP?

Manzil's FHSA record states qualifying withdrawals are tax-free with no repayment obligation, unlike HBP. Confirm both programs on CRA for your facts, then pick. This page does not invent contribution room.
Can I hold a Manzil RRSP outside Ontario?
Yes. Manzil RRSP accounts are available in every province and territory.
Does HBP replace a halal mortgage?
No. HBP is a down-payment source under CRA rules. The house still needs a contract. That is Ijara CDC or Manzil where they serve the province.

Use Manzil RRSP if you want a halal registered account. Treat HBP as CRA paperwork. Prefer FHSA when that product fits, then finance the house on the live Ijara or Manzil map.
