Wahed Launches Shariah Compliant Private Real Estate Investment Platform in the U.S., Making Fractional Property Ownership Accessible to All

NEW YORK, Aug. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Wahed, a leading Shariah-compliant Fintech, today announced the launch of its Private Real Estate investment product in the United States. This marks an important milestone in Wahed's continued mission to create inclusive and accessible investment opportunities for faith-based investors.

Designed to democratize access to the high-demand asset class of private real estate, this new product allows investors to begin building their property portfolios with as little as $100, addressing significant barriers traditionally faced by faith-based investors.

Historically, private real estate has proven to be a reliable hedge against inflation and a strong source of passive income. However, due to stringent Shariah compliance requirements, primarily the avoidance of debt-based financing, Muslim and values-based investors have had limited access to these opportunities. Wahed's new offering solves this by providing completely debt-free, fractional ownership in carefully vetted residential properties, accessible via Wahed's intuitive mobile app.

Wahed's model eliminates the need for large upfront capital by offering fractional shares in residential properties starting at just $100. Investors could earn quarterly rental income proportionate to their ownership stake, plus potential capital appreciation, while Wahed's experienced team handles all property management responsibilities, including regulatory compliance, maintenance and tenant relations.

"Private real estate is highly desirable among investors, yet Shariah compliant platforms remain scarce in the U.S.," said Mohsin Siddiqui, CEO of Wahed. "Our real estate investment solution addresses the longstanding challenges of high capital requirements and complex property management, allowing everyday investors the peace of mind and simplicity of true passive income."

The US launch builds on Wahed's successful UK operations, where the platform raised millions across properties within its initial months. Each property typically draws a couple of hundred investors, many of whom are building their first real estate portfolios.

Ahmar Shaikh, Head of US at Wahed said: 'Wahed's Private Real Estate product will set the benchmark in allowing investors to invest in well-vetted investment opportunities. We employ a strong due diligence process, working with local market experts to identify properties with solid fundamentals in high-growth regions. Our strategy focuses on properties with sustainable rental yields and long-term appreciation potential. We want to ensure that our investors have access to institutional grade real estate opportunities."

Wahed's U.S. real estate platform addresses a clear market need, particularly for Muslim Americans previously excluded from traditional opportunities due to interest-based financing practices. This launch reinforces Wahed's commitment to financial inclusion and ethical investing, providing an accessible path for investors looking for Shariah compliant income generation and long-term wealth creation.
