Full details →Halal car loans are growing fast. Here are four points to compare before you sign.
Most halal car loans use a co-ownership plan. You and the lender both own the car. Each month you pay two parts: one buys more of the car, one pays for use. Ask the lender to walk you through the split.
Check if the lender funds new cars, used cars, or both. Some limit used cars by age. Others set a minimum car value. Confirm these rules before you shop.
Down payments vary a lot. Some lenders ask for 5%. Others want 20% or more. Compare term lengths, too. A shorter term can save you money over time.
Top halal car lenders have a Shariah board, published fatwas, or AAOIFI badges. Named scholars on the board give the strongest trust signal. Look for those badges on the lender's site.
