For many people with no finance background, it’s very easy to fall into a “halal” investment scam, meaning being sold an investment product that is not completely halal.

There are many examples I can share, but I decided to list out the obvious ones for now...

If you are confused about the “halalness” of an investment product, this list can serve as a guide in helping you “halalify” your portfolio moving forward.

Here are the most popular investments that you should avoid ❌ :

1. FOREX - except for a simple exchange of two different currencies that is done on the SPOT.

2. Treasury Bills - a government-issued instrument that involves INTEREST. Avoid it! Good alternatives are halal fixed income and halal mutual funds.

3. Bonds - corporate or government-issued long-term instruments that involve INTEREST. A good alternative to this is Sukuk.

4. Shares in unethical companies - e.g., interest-based banks, brewery companies, adult entertainment, etc.

5. Index funds that contain shares or funds that are UNETHICAL - e.g., S&P 500. Good alternatives are halal filtered index funds like SPUS, HLAL, etc.

6. Sovereign Debt Notes - they involve paying interest. A good alternative is Sukuk.

7. Certificates of Deposit (CDs) - they involve interest. Good alternatives are halal fixed income, halal mutual funds, and Mudarabah savings accounts.

8. Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) - except for those that invest directly in real properties and where dividend payment is a reflection of the income generated from the properties.

9. Peer-to-peer lending - except for those that involve equity financing or asset-based financing with no interest.

10. Mutual funds - pool of funds invested in a number of companies. Best alternative is halal mutual fund that invests in ethically curated companies.

Note: I deliberately avoided those investments that scholars have differed on (e.g., Crypto) and focused exclusively on the investments that are outrightly prohibited.

It is prohibited for Muslim to benefit from alcohol companies' profit

Sayyiduna Anas ibn Malik (Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace) cursed ten people in connection with alcohol: the wine-presser, the one for who it is pressed, the one who drinks it, the one who carries it, the one for whom it is carried, the one who serves it, the one who sells it, the one who benefits from the price paid for it, the one who buys it, and the one for whom it is bought.” (Sunan Tirmidhi, no: 1295)

You are deluded. It's like calling interest in another name.

Any Moslem, who does gambling knows it is not allowed and he knows the risk very well.
