How we handle this page This is an independently researched summary drawn from public biographies and UIF Corporation's own disclosures. It is not authorized by Mufti Nana or UIF, and it is not a ranking or endorsement of his scholarship. Verify current board membership directly with UIF Corporation.

Background

Mufti Nana trained in Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) and completed specialized study (ifta) qualifying him to issue formal religious rulings — training that in Islamic scholarship is specifically oriented toward answering novel, real-world questions rather than general religious education alone. That orientation is reflected in his focus on modern financial and commercial questions, an area with relatively few formally qualified muftis in the US relative to demand.

Role in US halal home financing

As noted in our fatwas and financing models guide, UIF Corporation retains a standing Shariah Supervisory Board rather than a single one-time fatwa, reviewing its Murabaha and Ijara-style products on an ongoing basis. Mufti Nana sits on that board alongside Sheikh Taha Abdul-Basser, Sheikh Ashraf Gomma Ali, and Sheikh Faraz Rabbani.
