Manzil TFSA accounts are available in every Canadian province and territory. The Canada Revenue Agency says you can open a TFSA after you turn 18, or 19 in some provinces where that is the age of majority. Confirm your province's age of majority for TFSA eligibility on CRA's TFSA page. This page is not a legal brief. The halal overlay starts the day the account opens: screen the holdings, and do not leave idle cash earning interest.
This page will not invent the 2026 TFSA dollar limit. Read the live figure on CRA. Related: TFSA overcontribution and FHSA vs TFSA vs RRSP. Compare screened accounts on the investing hub.

CRA Age Rule, Then the Province
CRA is the tax rule. Age of majority is a provincial and territorial contract rule. CRA tells you to confirm the age of majority where you live before you assume you can open the account at 18. Do not treat a HalalWallet sentence as a ruling for your province. Open CRA, then open the account only when you are eligible.
| Step | What it is | Halal overlay |
|---|---|---|
| Age | CRA: after you turn 18, or 19 where that is the age of majority. Confirm the province on CRA | Eligibility is a tax and contract fact. It is not a fatwa |
| Room | CRA annual limit plus unused room from years you were eligible. Confirm live on CRA. This page will not invent the 2026 dollar figure | Room is a contribution cap. It does not screen the book |
| Holdings | Whatever the issuer lets a TFSA hold | Screen them. A TFSA wrapper does not make a bank stock permissible |
| Idle cash | Broker cash or a high-interest TFSA sweep | Turn interest off. Do not spend an interest credit |
| Where to open | Any issuer CRA accepts | Manzil TFSA: every province and territory |
A parent funding 'your' TFSA still uses your room, not theirs. If someone else is sending money, track whose account and whose room it is on CRA.
The Screen Does Not Wait Until You Are 25
The first contribution is the easiest year to buy an unscreened bank ETF because a brokerage app ranks it on the home screen. Screen before the first buy. US-listed tickers inside a TFSA still have FX and withholding quirks. See US-listed halal ETFs in a Canadian TFSA if that is the book you want.
Manzil Covers the Map
Manzil investing (TFSA, RRSP, FHSA, RESP, and the rest of that set) is available in every province and territory. Ijara Community Development is not the TFSA issuer on this page. If the same household later needs a house, keep the files separate: Ijara CDC home financing is listed in Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Prince Edward Island. Manzil musharaka mortgages are Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan; murabaha is Ontario only.
