Halal Idea Screener

A quick check before you commit. See where riba, gharar, or a haram product risk might be hiding in your idea.

Product or service

What's checked: Core halal/haram question

Is the product or service itself halal? (no alcohol, interest-based service, or gambling link)
Is its main use not primarily a tool for something haram?

Funding and capital

What's checked: Avoiding riba

Is your starting capital coming without an interest-based loan?
With investors, is profit-and-loss sharing clear, not a fixed interest rate?

Contract and uncertainty

What's checked: Avoiding gharar

Is what you're selling clearly defined (quantity, quality, delivery time)?
If you take pre-orders, are the terms clearly written down?

Marketing and promises

What's checked: Honesty

Can you realistically keep every promise in your marketing?
Can you sell without false urgency or exaggerated claims?

This is a thinking aid, not a fatwa. For your specific situation, consult a qualified mufti.
