How do you guys ensure the stocks you invest are halal? I’m using Zoya app. One example is I have a few Amazon stocks (20+) and if I look it up on Zoya they say it’s questionable. And if I do a google search a lot of the links say it’s halal. Not sure how do I draw the line? What do you guys do?

Thanks guys for all your responses. Great to see how you guys are holding tight to the values of Islam.
I have a question for you-SC 1. How do you invest in real estate? Don’t you need a good amount saved to be able to do that?

I’ve been a long timer with Amana. Their mutual funds have good growth and sharia compliant. I’ve sat thru multiple sessions understanding how stocks are vetted. It’s complicated but they do a good job IMO.

More recently I’m diversifying with private investment firms who are also capitalizing on sharia compliant investments.

"halal"ETFs. The main culprit is usually the amount of debt on the books. Since debt could also be good for growth, most Halal etfs limit to less than 30% debt

As people say on this forum, "ask the Sheikh/exper. " Here's the ruling

I’m invested in VTI, NVDA, MP, META, and JOBY. VTI is probably questionable, but I can’t find a cheap alternative because these “halal” funds charge insane expense ratios with abysmal returns. One thing I made sure to stay away from is riba. My mortgage will be with UIF after I close in two weeks

I see two crowds these days. One thinks housing market will crash. The other thinks housing market will soar.

The contrarian in me makes me think this is a decent indication that housing market will stagnate (or increase minimally) for a few years.

As a general rules, I feel like the majority cannot foresee a crash/surge coming. The prevalence of such expectations would hamper the pre-conditions necessary for such a dramatic change.
