This is an area of finance I know very little about, so it was awesome to speak to Uneesa about the ins and outs of halal investing and how it differs to non-halal investing. A big thank you to Uneesa also for making the time to speak with us during Ramadan when she has of course been fasting all day. This is episode 100 of the Mr MoneyJar Show ..read more
