Manzil TFSA accounts are available in every Canadian province and territory. Successor holder and beneficiary are Canada Revenue Agency account designations, not Shariah products. A successor holder (typically a spouse or common-law partner, where CRA allows) can keep the TFSA as a TFSA. A beneficiary receives the proceeds under CRA rules that are not the same as a successor holder. Confirm the current designations on CRA and on the Manzil contract. This page does not invent tax results. Start on the investing hub. Related: inheriting RRSP and TFSA.

Idle cash inside a TFSA that earns bank interest is still interest. The wrapper does not make riba halal. Keep the holdings on the Manzil screen. For a spouse who will keep investing, name the successor holder on the form, then confirm with CRA.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I name a successor holder on a Manzil TFSA?

Manzil TFSA accounts exist in every province and territory. Whether a successor holder field is on your application is the account contract. Confirm with Manzil. Do not assume a blog set it.

Is a beneficiary the same as a successor holder?

No. CRA treats them differently. Read CRA for the current distinction, then mark the form that matches the person you intend.

Does a TFSA designation replace an Islamic will?

No. A TFSA designation moves that account. It does not write Faraid for the rest of the estate. See Manzil Wills if you need that product.

Are Manzil TFSAs only in Ontario?

No. They are available in every province and territory.
