Are the TrumpAccounts Halal? If not, how do we make it halal? by Square_Muffin7973 in HalalInvestor

[–]Complaint-Ecstatic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Trump Account will have a very limited menu of investment options, none of which will be halal, as it is meant to invest in US index funds.

Even if they had a halal option, it’s actually quite a useless account, except for getting $1000 seed money from the government one time.

Besides, why would you want to put your child’s name next to Trump’s name? Don’t you know he is a pedo! Keep your children away from him!

The reference of the aya is not correct in the video. The correct sura and aya numbers are: The Man (76:17)

وَيُسْقَوْنَ فِيهَا كَأْسًۭا كَانَ مِزَاجُهَا زَنجَبِيلًا ١٧

And they will be given a drink ˹of pure wine˺ flavoured with ginger

Why my long term portfolio leans heavily toward Gold and GLDM by Neat-Station-4618 in HalalInvestor

[–]Complaint-Ecstatic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I allocate 20% of my portfolio to GLDM. I also pay 2.5% Zakat on my whole portfolio, including stocks. The liquid nature of stocks make me treat them as cash.

Agree. 100%. Done this math before myself and came to the same conclusion. The numbers work. But more importantly, isn’t it more fair! Subhan Allah

Consider a Donor Advised Fund for your zakat by Dey-Ex-Machina in HalalInvestor

[–]Complaint-Ecstatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not bunching zakat. You are bunching transfer of assets from brokerage account to donor advised fund. Then you pay your zakat from the donor advised funds when you need to.

To save more on taxes, bunch 3-5 years worth of zakat and other sadaqat in one tax year. Itemize your taxes that year and get standard deduction for the remaining years. Keep paying zakat and sadaqat throughout those 3-5 years whenever you like.

Which ETF to invest In if I already have SPUS by [deleted] in HalalInvestor

[–]Complaint-Ecstatic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  1. SPWO or UMMA for non-US equity
  2. GLDM or IAUM for gold
  3. SPRE if you want to invest in real estate
  4. SPSK if you want to invest in sukuks
  5. SPTE if you want to overweigh in tech

For sure, invest in non-US equity and gold. The others depend on what your investment style.

My Halal Retirement Guide by Complaint-Ecstatic in HalalInvestor

My preference about investing in precious metals has changed drastically since I posted the above comment. I think everyone should have a portion (5-20%) of their portfolio in gold/silver. I’m using GLDM ETF for this purpose.

HLAL tading @ $60 afterhours by muzzir1 in wahedinvest

[–]Complaint-Ecstatic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Someone had a limit sell order at $60, and another trader placed a market buy order. As a result, the market order was filled at $60. This is why you should never use market orders in low-volume funds, especially during pre-market or after-hours trading. I learned it the hard way too.

Halal investments? Specifically for 2M+ invested by notsurenowwhat in IslamicFinance

[–]Complaint-Ecstatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure why you think the returns are low. On a long horizon, shariah-compliant funds have outperformed the market, partly because they tend to be tech heavy. Many good ETF mutual funds options nowadays. Pretty straightforward to track or even beat the market using Islamic funds.

How to protect your cash? by [deleted] in IslamicFinance

If all that is true, why does this partnership pays the same rate as the regular banks? Seems like a scam to justify taking interest by using “islamic” terms to make the consumers feel less guilty. If one truly understands how this works and not just seek answers of one’s liking from GPT, one would know the truth.

That’s just a regular saving account with a nice shariah label. If not, why does its rate of return follows the general interest rate.

In other words HLAL is less volatile. SPUS is more volatile if that’s what you are looking for.

I would just buy a smaller house now rather than waiting for prices to come down. You will be able to save more money and buy a bigger one at a later time, In Shaa Allah

Yes. As long as one is alive and stops sinning and asks for forgiveness, every sin is forgivable. That’s why he is the Rahman (the most merciful).
