What is Halal Property Investing?

Halal Property Investing means investing in property in a way that is fully compliant with Islamic (Shariah) law and principles.

At Riyadh Financial Services, this is achieved through offering Shariah-compliant property financing solutions — enabling clients to acquire property without the use of interest (riba) or engaging in impermissible (haram) financial practices.

Key principles of Halal Property Investing include:
- No interest (riba) — financing structures are based on rent (Ijarah) or profit-sharing (Musharakah), not interest-bearing loans.
- Asset-backed transactions — financing is always linked to tangible property.
- Avoidance of prohibited industries — clients should avoid investing in properties used for activities forbidden in Islam (such as alcohol, gambling, pork-related businesses, or other haram activities).
- Ethical and transparent contracts — all financing agreements are reviewed for Shariah compliance and transparency.

Our role is to help clients access property finance that aligns with their faith and values. We do not offer property investment advice, but we ensure that the financing structures we provide are fully Shariah-compliant.

03.

How does Riyadh Financial Services ensure its property financing is halal?

At Riyadh Financial Services, we are committed to offering only Shariah-compliant financial solutions.

All of our financing products are structured in strict accordance with Islamic finance principles — avoiding interest (riba), excessive uncertainty (gharar), and any activities or structures not permitted under Shariah.

To ensure full compliance, we maintain robust Shariah governance through:
- An independent Internal Shariah Board, which reviews and certifies all products and documents
- Membership and engagement with external Shariah compliance regulatory bodies across Australia
- Ongoing Shariah audits and reviews, ensuring our offerings remain halal, ethical, and transparent

Through this governance framework, we give our clients confidence that their property financing is fully aligned with their Islamic values.

What is Ijarah Muntahia Bittamleek in Islamic property financing?

Ijarah Muntahia Bittamleek is a Shariah-compliant lease-to-own financing option.

Here’s how it works:
- The financier buys the property you want and leases it to you.
- You make agreed rental payments to use the property — these are not interest-based.
- At the end of the lease term, once all payments are made, ownership of the property is transferred to you.

This structure allows you to buy property in a fully halal way — with no interest and full transparency. It is commonly used for both residential and investment properties.

05.

What is a Musharakah Contract in Islamic property finance?

A Musharakah Contract is a type of Shariah-compliant partnership used to help you buy a property.

Here’s how it works:
- You and the financier buy the property together — you both own a share.
- You make payments over time to gradually buy out the financier’s share.
- You also pay a share of profits (dividends) to the financier based on their remaining ownership during the financing period.
- Once all payments are complete, you (or your SMSF) will own 100% of the property.

This is a fully halal way to finance property without interest (riba), and it ensures that the ownership and risks are shared fairly throughout the contract.
