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.
