Business & Finance
Give your products, services and business activities the credibility of trusted Shari'ah certification — backed by qualified scholars and kept current through annual review.
What is the Business & Finance service?
Running a business in a way that pleases Allah takes more than good intentions — it takes products, contracts, and activities that stand up to scholarly scrutiny. A trusted Shari'ah certification gives you the confidence, and the credentials, that what you offer genuinely meets the standards of Islamic law.
Whether you're seeking halal certification for a product, setting up a company, managing investments, or running a Zakah-eligible project, IFA reviews your arrangements and issues formal certification you can stand behind. Certification is kept current through annual review, auditing and renewal — so your credentials hold their value over time.
