We are excited to announce the release of our first-ever ‘Halal Homebuying Scholars Roundtable’, where Pfida’s founder Raza Ullah moderates a 43-minute discussion with a circle of respected Islamic scholars. This discussion sheds light on one of the most crucial topics for Muslims in the UK: how to buy a home in a shariah-compliant way.

We would like to extend our thanks to Family Retreat for making this roundtable possible during one of their restful and spiritual retreats.

What to expect:

In this exclusive roundtable, our panel of experts explores various halal finance options for homeownership, such as:

Islamic mortgages vs. conventional mortgages
The ethical principles of shariah-compliant contracts
