Eqraz Home Financing
Halal Home Financing in Ontario
EQRAZ arranges monthly commodity Murabaha (Tawarruq) home financing in all 10 provinces and is Canada's halal rate-transparency leader: a monthly-updated rate sheet showed posted profit rates of 8.67% to 9.30% and special-offer rates of 7.67% to 8.30% by term on July 31, 2026. Financing runs on fixed profit rates over 1-5 year renewable terms with amortization up to 25 years; second and third mortgages are available, and only move-in-ready, owner-occupied homes qualify (closing within 60 days). Funding flows through a Wakala agreement with a Canadian Schedule One bank rather than interest-bearing borrowing, with Computershare Trust as custodian, and late-payment profit is donated to charity.
Eqraz combines near-national coverage across 10 provinces with named-scholar oversight: its own Shariah Supervisory Board (Sheikh Dr. Salah Al Shalhoob, Sheikh Faraz Adam) plus external fatwas, applied to a monthly commodity Murabaha its own calculator labels Tawarruq-based. It is also the most price-transparent halal financier in Canada - posted rates of 8.67%-9.30% (specials 7.67%-8.30%) as of July 31, 2026, and a fully itemized fee stack. Two things to probe: it's a 2020 entrant whose site now describes financing as arranged through partner financiers, so ask directly who your counterparty is; and the rates sit roughly 3 points above conventional mortgages, a premium EQRAZ openly attributes to the cost of halal capital. A strong first call for buyers outside Ontario and Alberta, where halal options thin out fast.
Pros
- In-house Shariah Supervisory Board with named scholars (Sheikh Dr. Salah Al Shalhoob, Sheikh Faraz Adam) plus external fatwas from Mufti Mirza Zain Baig and Mufti Faisal Al Mahmoudi
- Available across 10 provinces - one of the widest halal footprints in Canada
- Rates are published openly on eqraz.com/rates and updated monthly
- Fixed profit rates on 1-5 year terms with 25-year amortization, plus second and third mortgages
- Fully disclosed fee stack - rare candour in the Canadian halal market
Cons
- Founded in 2020, so its operating track record is still short
- Now positions itself as arranging financing through partner financiers ('not a broker, not the financier') - confirm who actually holds your contract
- Posted rates run roughly 3 points above conventional Canadian mortgages - the halal capital premium, by EQRAZ's own admission
- $2,500 non-refundable pre-approval fee and 2.0% commitment fee front-load the costs

Shariah Compliance & Oversight
EQRAZ maintains its own five-member Shariah organ: Shariah Board Chair Mufti Irshad Ahmed Aijaz (Chairman of the Shariah Advisory Committee at the State Bank of Pakistan), executive member Mufti Faraz Adam, members Shaikh Muhammad Ahmad and Shaikh Salah Fahd Al Shahloob, and Shariah Control Committee head Shaikh Raafat Al Shalabi. The FAQ additionally cites fatwas from Mufti Mirza Zain Baig (CCIRI, Montreal) and Mufti Faisal Al Mahmoudi (Dar-al-Mahmoudiyya, Edmonton) covering the funding provider's structures, and the Shariyah Review Bureau (Bahrain) collaborated during the product's development - it is not presented as the current certifier. The certificate is stated to cover processes, operations, and third-party agreements as well as the product, with a dedicated shariah@eqraz.com channel for customer questions. Caveat: published SSB meeting records stop at Q1 2023 despite stated annual-plus-ad-hoc audits.

How to use this comparison: HalalWallet is an independent educational comparison platform - by design, we do not provide financial, legal, or religious advice. We do the research homework so your final checks are quick and personal.
Product structures and Shariah oversight vary by provider, so finish with three built-in steps:
- Confirm current terms and halal compliance directly with the provider - their quote is final.
- Review the contract structure (Murabaha, Ijara, Musharakah, etc.) and any disclosed Shariah board opinions.
- Bring your shortlist to a qualified Islamic finance advisor or scholar, so the conversation is about your situation, not the basics.
