Our Mission
MuslimMoney exists to empower the 3.9 million British Muslims to make informed financial and lifestyle decisions that align with their faith. To achieve this, trust is our most valuable asset. This policy outlines exactly how we maintain that trust.
1. How We Research "Halal" Verdicts
Determining the Shariah-compliance of modern products is complex. Our editorial team follows a three-step verification process for every product we review:
- Direct Certification Check: We first look for official certifications from recognised bodies such as the HMC (Halal Monitoring Committee), HFA (Halal Food Authority), or IFG (Islamic Finance Guru) Shariah-screening tools.
- Scholarly Consultation: We reference the published fatwas and guidance of reputable UK-based Shariah boards and Islamic finance scholars to ensure our verdicts reflect current scholarly consensus.
- Brand Transparency: We contact brands directly to query their supply chains, investment policies, or interest-handling procedures before issuing a verdict.
2. Editorial Independence
We are not a "Pay-to-Play" platform. No brand can pay to be included in our "Best of" lists or to have a negative review changed. Our rankings are determined solely by our research into value, quality, and Shariah-compliance.
While we may earn a commission from affiliate links, this occurs after a product has been independently selected by our editorial team. Our writers are never told which brands have affiliate programs, ensuring their reviews remain unbiased.
3. Fact-Checking & Accuracy
Financial products and ingredient lists change frequently. We conduct a "Monthly Refresh" of our core guides (Mortgages, ISAs, Banking) to ensure interest rates and compliance statuses are up to date. If you spot an error, we encourage you to contact us immediately at contact@muslimmoney.co.uk.
4. Diversity of Opinion
We recognise that there are differing scholarly opinions within the Muslim community (Ikhtilaf). Where a product is considered permissible by some but questionable by others (such as certain crypto assets), we clearly state both sides of the argument to allow our readers to make their own informed decision.
