Salam everyone! I have a question about pursuing a career in Ib/Pe/VC. Do you think the money made in any of them would be halal? I would love to hear some opinions on this!

I’d encourage you to seek a scholar knowledgeable in finance to understand halal/haram. But from my understanding, I think the usage of LBOs in PE can be seen as highly problematic, unless there’s some way of using interest free debt, but even then it can still be viewed unfavorable.

Agree with A1 - this depends on so many variables.

All 3 of those can be haram or halal. PE and IB can involve LBOs or debt finance in general, and even VC can be in the form of venture debt.

All 3 of the above have halal forms (sukuk desks, VCs in the middle east, etc.)

Agree with advice to speak to a scholar. If you’re looking for a US based Imam who actually worked in the world of finance, DM me and I’ll be happy to connect you.

Looking for some advice fellow Muslims: I have been continuously struggling to wake up for fajr, let alone pray it in the mosque.
