The answers on Hawramani.com are based on the research of Ikram Hawramani in the Quran, hadith, scholarly works and respected fatwa sources. You can view Ikram Hawramani's credentials on the about page. Please note that we do not issue fatwas, we only compile the opinions of respected scholars (even when a fatwa is not explicitly cited) to make their opinions accessible to English-speaking Muslims. If an answer does not cite fatwas, please feel free to leave a comment asking for a fatwa citation and we will update the answer as soon as possible to include fatwas.

IslamQA: Muslim alternatives to savings accounts

Salam, Since savings accounts aren't an option because of interest, are there other alternatives you know of where muslims in the west can safely keep their monthly savings?

Alaikumassalam wa rahmatullah,

If you live in Britain, Al Rayan Bank offers Islamic savings accounts where the income is from rent rather than interest. In the US, Bank of Whittier offers similar savings accounts. There is also the Azzad Wise Capital Fund, a mutual fund that earns income from Islamic bonds (sukuk).

And God knows best.
