Congressional Trades.
Halal-Screened.

Halal Whale provides information only — we do not issue religious rulings. Following publicly disclosed trades is legal under the STOCK Act. Whether acting on this information aligns with your personal understanding of Shariah is a personal or scholarly question. We recommend consulting a qualified Islamic finance scholar for personal religious decisions.

Each ticker is screened by five Islamic finance standards: AAOIFI, DJIM, FTSE, MSCI, and S&P. The screening checks debt-to-assets ratios (below 33%) and non-compliant revenue (below 5%). Only Compliant and Questionable/Doubtful results are shown. Screening is automated, not a fatwa.

No. Signal labels (Strong, Notable, Routine) describe observable data — committee overlap, position size, timing — and are not buy or sell recommendations. Always do your own research and consult a qualified financial advisor before making investment decisions.

Every hour we scan for newly filed trades. What you see is already filtered — non-halal stocks are removed, and only trades with a meaningful signal (Strong or Notable) surface by default. Because of these filters, the number of trades shown on a given day can vary. Over the last 12 months, 300+ eligible trades made it through both the halal and signal filters.

Every trade is classified by our AI using three levels. Strong Signal means there is a direct and verifiable link — the politician sits on a committee that oversees or regulates the stock's sector, the trade is unusually large (≥$250k), or the timing aligns closely with legislation or earnings. Notable means something is worth paying attention to — a looser sector connection, a moderately sized position, or several members trading the same ticker around the same time. Routine means no meaningful link was detected between the trade and the member's official role. Routine trades are hidden by default. Only Strong and Notable trades get a full written analysis.

Not necessarily. STOCK Act disclosures cover trades by the politician, their spouse, and dependent children. The data source does not distinguish between them — all trades are listed under the member's name. This is disclosed in our methodology.

Honestly? Because we want Muslims to build wealth — that's it. Now, we can't promise you'll make money — investing always carries risk and no tool can change that. Ashaad, the founder of Halal Whale, built this tool for himself first. There are plenty of tools that track congressional trades — but none of them are built with Muslim investors in mind. That meant for every trade he found interesting, he had to manually check if it was halal, research the company, and figure out whether it was even worth acting on. Halal Whale solved that for him, and he wanted to make it accessible to other Muslims who share the same values.
