Independent Shariah Oversight
Our Shariah advisors, 
Dar Al Sharia, are a leading global group of Islamic finance scholars. They independently review and certify our investments, provide rulings and guidance, and audit our processes to ensure they remain in line with Islamic standards.
Their role includes reviewing investment selections, certifying compliance with AAOIFI standards, overseeing screens and filters, assessing changes to business activities and guiding purification processes where needed.
Continuous Monitoring
Shariah compliance is monitored continuously, not just once a year. This includes ongoing portfolio monitoring, quarterly re-screens, alerts when company activities change and annual audits. If a company no longer meets our Shariah criteria, it is removed from the portfolio in line with Shariah guidelines. Your investments are checked and re-checked to ensure they remain aligned with your values.
Purification
If a small amount of impure income arises — for example, unavoidable bank interest — it is identified and removed from the investment return and donated to charity. This means members do not benefit from non-permissible income. The purification process is overseen by our Shariah advisors and documented as part of our compliance framework.

Shariah decisions, exclusions and screens are set by Salaam and its Shariah advisors. Russell Investments operates within that framework and does not control Shariah outcomes.
