What makes a FHSA Halal?
A FHSA is just an account with some tax rules around it. It is how the money that is deposited into this account that gets invested that will make it Halal or not. The focus should not be on the account type but on the underlying investments. As long as the cash is being used to buy Shariah-compliant investments such as the OneVest Halal Portfolios then your investment is Halal.

01
Prepare for the unknown
The money you put in your FHSA gets invested into the OneVest Halal Portfolios. This means your money is not just being invested, but you can both sleep peacefully at night knowing it’s invested through Halal means.
02
Facilitates Home Ownership
The FHSA is specifically designed to help Canadians save for their first home with possible income tax deductions for eligible FHSA contributions. Meaning you can potentially save for your down payment much sooner.
03
Tax Benefits
The FHSA is similar to the TFSA in the sense that the gains on your investment are tax-free (up to a certain amount). It is also similar to the RRSP since the FHSA reduces your taxable income because you can claim tax deductions for eligible FHSA contributions (up to a certain amount). These combined savings is what makes the FHSA account so appealing.
Comparing FHSA to RRSP (HBP)
The FHSA is a registered plan that combines some of the features of an RRSP and a TFSA to help save towards your first home!

Funds grow in account tax-free, which can mean more savings for the purchase of your first-time home.
Eligible contributions are tax-deductible (except on transfers into your FHSA from your RRSP, although these transfers do use up FHSA contribution room).
Withdrawals used to purchase a qualifying home, are tax-free. Non-qualifying withdrawals (not made to purchase a qualifying home) are taxable income.

If you fail to repay the required amount within the required time frame, that amount will be considered as taxable income in that year.
