Sharia-compliant investing

Sharia-compliant investing follows Islamic principles, primarily prohibiting activities like gambling, alcohol, and pork, and ensuring investments avoid earning interest (riba) and excessive uncertainty (gharar). Instead, it emphasizes ethical, socially responsible assets, often focusing on businesses that provide tangible, real-world goods and services. Investors seek to align their financial goals with their faith by choosing companies that comply with these guidelines, typically through specialized funds or screening processes. The goal is to generate profit while adhering to Islamic ethical standards, promoting fairness, justice, and social responsibility in the investment process.
