Strengths and trade-offs

IjaraCDC

  • Purpose-built for masjids, Islamic schools, and Muslim nonprofits - $300K-$7M
  • Up to 12 months of no payments during construction
  • Established organizations can qualify without personal guarantees
  • Trust-based Ijara with documented fatwa lineage - no interest at any point in the capital stack
  • $2M-$20M with only 20-25% down - low for institutional-grade CRE
  • 30% down (30-40% for new organizations) is a heavy lift for donation-funded entities
  • 10-year balloon means refinancing risk mid-life of the financing
  • New organizations must provide personal guarantees
  • Requires long-term leases to national credit tenants - a high property bar
  • Minimum deal size of $2M excludes smaller investors

Tjara Halal Financing

  • Purpose-built financing to help non-profits grow
  • Overseen by an Ethical Advisory Board of named Shariah scholars, including Dr. Aznan Hasan, Mufti Muhammad Muaz Ashraf Usmani, and Dr. Mohamad Akram Laldin
  • Available across all 10 Canadian provinces
  • AAOIFI-compliant late fees donated to charity rather than kept as revenue
  • Financing to purchase, operate, or grow a business
  • No published financing amounts or profit rates
  • Contract structure isn't publicly detailed - applications go through a contact form
  • Boards must do direct due diligence on the third-party funding partner behind each deal
  • The funding comes from third-party partners, so terms vary by deal and funder
  • The funding partner's identity isn't published - press for it before signing

Products behind the numbers

Where a row shows more than one value, it is because the provider lists several business financing products. Each is tagged.

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.
