What is Shari'ah Consultancy?

Everyday financial life raises questions that deserve careful, qualified answers. Our consultancy service gives you direct access to a scholar who understands both classical fiqh and the realities of contemporary finance.

Whether it's a mortgage, a car-finance agreement, an instalment purchase or a Zakah calculation, our scholars look closely at your circumstances and give you a formal Islamic ruling (fatwa) you can trust. Initial consultations are held online and last up to an hour — and the more you can share about your situation, the more precise your guidance will be.

What we can advise on

Home & property finance

Mortgages, home purchase plans, and rent-to-own arrangements.

Everyday finance

Car finance, instalment and buy-now-pay-later purchases, loans and credit.

Zakah

How to calculate what you owe across cash, gold, shares and other assets.

Investments & pensions

Whether a particular fund, share, or pension arrangement is permissible.
