Does a “halal mortgage” label prove Shariah compliance?

Educational answer
No. A marketing label is not a substitute for reviewing the actual agreements and the process used to carry them out. Ask for the product’s Shariah approval, the approving scholars’ identities and the scope of ongoing oversight. IIFA’s governance resolution emphasizes independent supervision and institutional adherence to Shariah requirements.
