Investment In Property

INVESTMENT IN PROPERTY

As Muslims we become more religiously inclined, it is their responsibility to strictly ensure that their investments are only in accordance to Shariah. An investment property is real estate purchased with the intention of earning a return on the investment either through rental income, the future resale of the property, or both. Therefore, for the Muslim investor, it is going to be the same approach, through halal real estate investments. Investors are being provided with an opportunity to earn investment proceeds in a halal manner. Furthermore, it also allows investors to be a part of real-estate projects that can benefit the community.
