Strengths and trade-offs
Manzil
- Fixed-instalment Murabaha: Manzil buys the property and resells it at a transparent, agreed profit - no interest at any point
- Certified by Manzil's Shariah Supervisory Board with external review by Mufti Ebrahim Desai (Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah)
- Financing from $100K to $1.5M with amortization up to 25 years
- No prepayment penalty per Manzil's published Murabaha position - settling early does not add cost
- Diminishing Musharaka co-ownership: you buy out Manzil's share until you own the home outright, at a fixed rate
- Currently offered only in Ontario
- 20% minimum down payment and a 680 minimum credit score set a high entry bar
- 2-5 year terms mean pricing resets at each renewal
- 20% minimum down payment - no low-down-payment option
- Not available in Quebec, Manitoba, or most of Atlantic Canada, and early full payoff triggers an Early Termination Sale Price
Tjara Halal Financing
- Musharaka structure overseen by an Ethical Advisory Board of internationally recognized scholars, including Dr. Aznan Hasan, Mufti Muhammad Muaz Ashraf Usmani, and Dr. Mohamad Akram Laldin
- Available across 10 provinces
- Connects buyers to Musharaka financing through funding partners rather than a single balance sheet
- Legal title in your name from day one
- Bank-benchmarked pricing with no stated halal premium and 5% minimum entry for first-time buyers
- Founded in 2024 - minimal operating track record so far
- Financing runs through external funding partners, so terms depend on the partner matched to you
- Rates aren't published - pricing comes from an individual quote

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.

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.
