I invest in halal screened versions of S&P 500 eg HLAL, SPUS etc…it’s basically the same thing but excluding some companies (defence, alcohol, gambling companies, etc)

I do. Whether it’s halal is subjective from what I’ve seen, some schools say yes and others say no. What makes it non-halal is if they invest in companies that are involved with non-halal (e.g. gambling, alcohol). There’s some really great apps out there like Zoya that can help you better understand and purify your portfolio

I don't. I invest in individual stocks that I hand pick so that I don't accidentally fund something haram (like a gaming company) or that doesn't align with my values ( like tobacco or pro-Israel).

It's definitely more work, but it's not worth risking losing the barakah in your wealth, in my opinion

Why?

There's quite a few halal ETF options now aH. This is a good article describing ETF 101 and listing the options:

Lots of great suggestions here. OP would encourage you to consult your scholars as well for their perspective

I moved out& rented an apt for 2 mos before signing a lease on the house I live in now. This house has a serious big problem& I've found mold here too. Continued below

Is it a bad idea to refinance with a line of credit vs a regular student loan refinancing?
