iShares (BlackRock) iShares MSCI USA Islamic UCITS ETF (ISUS)
Islamic Investing in England
US-market slice of the iShares Islamic range: an Irish UCITS ETF physically tracking the MSCI USA Islamic Index, LSE-listed since 10 December 2007 in GBP (ISUS) and USD (ISDU) lines. TER 0.30%, USD 505 million net assets (5 August 2026), semi-annual distributions, ISA and SIPP eligible with UK reporting status. Gives Shariah-screened exposure to the world's dominant equity market with MSCI's conservative Islamic filters, which strip out conventional financials and high-leverage names, producing a portfolio that differs materially from the S&P 500's sector mix.
ISUS is for portfolio engineers: combined with ISWD and ISDE it lets a UK Muslim investor dial regional weights precisely, something no packaged halal product allows. The screening is the story - MSCI's Islamic take on the US market is more conservative than the Shariah-screened S&P variants Wahed's SPWI tracks, which shows up as lower financials-adjacent exposure and chunkier energy/healthcare weights. At 0.30% it is the obvious tool for the job; just be deliberate about how much America you want, because this fund will not decide for you.
Pros
- Cheapest FCA-platform-accessible way to own screened US equities
- Building-block precision: set your own US weight instead of accepting a world index's
- Same named scholar panel and published purification data as the range
- Distributing structure plus published purification factors keep income cleansing precise
Cons
- MSCI Islamic screens cut some mega-cap tech names conventional S&P 500 investors expect, so tracking difference versus mainstream US benchmarks is large
- Distributing-only on LSE; manual reinvestment
- Single-country concentration by design

Shariah Compliance & Oversight
Scholar panel via Amanie Advisors per iShares II plc prospectus: Dr. Mohamed Ali Elgari, Dr. Mohd Daud Bakar, Dr. Muhammad Amin Ali Qattan, Dr. Osama Al Dereai; MSCI USA Islamic Index methodology with purification factors (verified 2026-08-06).

Why It's Halal
Identical governance to its ISWD sibling: MSCI Islamic Index Series screening (business activity plus AAOIFI-consistent 33% financial ratio thresholds, published purification factors) with fund-level Shariah determination by the Amanie Advisors scholar panel named in the iShares II plc prospectus (Dr. Elgari, Dr. Daud Bakar, Dr. Qattan, Dr. Al Dereai). Physical replication, no securities-lending-driven compliance ambiguity flagged at index level, and distributing share classes keep purification tractable (iShares II plc prospectus supplement, verified 2026-08-06). The practical purification workflow is a quiet strength: because the LSE lines distribute rather than accumulate, income arrives as cash and MSCI's published purification factors can be applied to it directly, keeping the cleansing arithmetic explicit rather than buried inside an accumulating NAV. The Amanie scholars issue fatwas and ongoing guidance on the fund's operations under the iShares II plc prospectus.
