What HalalWallet is and is not
Scholars rule; we organize the evidence. HalalWallet is an independent research and comparison site for halal financial products. It is not a lender, bank, broker or adviser, and it is not a fatwa body.
What we do
- We document each product's contract, Shariah oversight, costs and availability, with the date we last checked.
- We show the range of scholarly opinion on contested questions, with sources.
What we do not do
- We do not lend, hold money, open accounts or take applications. You apply with the provider.
- We do not issue fatwas or certify any product as halal. Rulings belong to a scholar you trust.
- We do not give personal financial, legal or tax advice.
Where our role ends and who takes over · Who pays HalalWallet · HalalWallet Trust Standard, version 1.0
Before you decide, finish with three checks:
- Confirm current terms and halal compliance directly with the provider. Their quote is final.
- Read the contract structure (Murabaha, Ijara, Musharakah and so on) and any published Shariah board opinion.
- Bring your shortlist to a qualified scholar or licensed adviser, so the conversation is about your situation, not the basics.
