What’s the difference between Islamic and conventional banking?

Islamic banking operates on profit-sharing and loss-bearing principles rather than fixed interest rates. Banks don’t charge riba (interest) but instead earn through legitimate business activities. This means your deposits work differently — you’re a partner in the bank’s ventures, not just a lender.

How do I know if an investment is halal?

Halal investments avoid industries that violate Islamic principles — like alcohol, gambling, pork, and weapons. Look for investments in permissible sectors like technology, healthcare, manufacturing, and renewable energy. Many Malaysian banks provide halal investment products with Shariah board certifications.

When do I need to pay zakat?

You’re obligated to pay zakat once you’ve held wealth above the nisab threshold for a lunar year. The nisab varies based on gold or silver prices. Zakat applies to savings, investments, gold, silver, and business inventory — but not your home or personal items.

Can I invest in companies with some interest-based income?

Many scholars allow investing in companies where riba income is minimal (usually under 5% of total revenue). The key is that the company’s primary business is halal. This is why Shariah-compliant funds screen companies carefully before including them.
