Episode 50: Fighting for a Halal 401(k) Part 2
<p>In this special 50th episode of Halal Money Matters, host Monem Salam continues the discussion on securing halal options in employer retirement plans by exploring a different path: religious accommodation and litigation. Monem speaks with longtime Los Angeles County public defender Haaris Syed and civil rights attorney Zeba Huq about how Haaris went years without accepting his employer’s generous retirement match, then pursued a religious accommodation that ultimately led LA County to create a religious exemption in its 401(k) and 457 plans.</p>

Episode 49: Fighting for a Halal 401(k) Part 1
<p>On this episode of Halal Money Matters, Monem Salam sits down with engineer and Harvard MBA candidate Malek Sarhan to unpack how he helped open access to a truly halal 401(k) inside a giant like General Motors, without walking away from his company match. From discovering that none of the 27 funds in his plan were Sharia-compliant to working through GM’s MENA employee resource group and a supportive executive to unlock halal options through the brokerage window, Malek shares practical steps, lessons, and encouragement for anyone trying to advocate for Islamic retirement choices at their own workplace.</p>
