Ask Ibn Halal: We’ve received this question.
salam u seem to know alot i think about business etc
what in this credit crunch can we venture in to earn halal money?
regards,
Faisal
wa alaikum assalam bro Faisal,
It all depends on what assets you have. Assets can be money, telnet, contacts, …
In general, we need to go back to basics, i.e. real stuff: gold, farming, and economies that produce real substances and sustained by population who have savings not credit cards. According to some surveys, Bangladesh is one of the emerging markets that is not affected by the current financial crisis.
What about if someone who doesn’t have money and have skills, say eCommerce? You use your skills and build a service or product for a market that can sustain your business.
Here are some videos for your reference. Notice that the point of view of these videos are obviously biased, so do your own research as well and consult a professional before making a decision, and always pray Istikhara.
Jim Rogers about getting into farming and water treatment in Asia
Peter Schiff on gold and China
Back to basics and fundamentals (commodity and farming)
and Allah knows best

Assalamualaikum,
I am an avid reader of your blog from Malaysia and I have been asking myself this question over and over again:
“How do I earn Halal bucks from the Internet?”
You see, I believe that a way to earn a living from the comforts of your own home is via the internet.
And that setting up an internet based business is a great way to go, don’t you agree?
My problem is that I have gone into a lot of programs like http://www.sfi mg.com, http://www.eye earn.com, etc etc and recently, I’m doing http://www.workfor 3dollars.com/alief that I am quite frustrated about how some lucky people are earning very comfortably but I am not.
Perhaps you can suggest an Internet Based Business/idea rather than the ones above in your blog.
Is there an Internet Based Business that you truly recommend to your newsletter readers that you are doing yourself?
BTW, what is your view on MLM/Network Marketing/Referral Marketing/Membership Marketing?
Do you feel that earning an income from MLM is Halal?
Wassalaam…

as salaamu alaykum,
in al hamdulillah brother I’ve have found your articles very interesting. This recent article about gold especially cought my attention. My name is Saadik Al-Ahmary and I am a US citizen living in Sierra Leone. I am a part of a network of other expatriots living in West africa along with several African nationals. Together we have two certified gemologist and have licenses in gold and diamonds in Sierra Leone, Ghana, Guinea Conakry, and Mali. We also have access to several acres of land in the afore mentioned countries that be developed into mining concessions.
We would be very interested and it is our intention to develop a network where we can control the entire process from beginning to end in both gold and diamonds. Although the demand for rough diamonds are down now because of the recession gold is on the rise and reaching all time high levels again.
The biggest challenges we face in this business is establishing trust on both sides, however once that has been established the possibilities are unlimited. The development of a financial network based on gold and or diamonds is a very real possibility and it would be completely Halal al hamdulillah.
If this is something you or your network of readers would be interested in please contact me at: saadik47@yahoo.com and we can begin a dialog. was salaamu alaykum
