Federal housing regulator Bill Pulte on Thursday evening said, “effective immediately,” all Kosher, Amish, and Sharia-compliant mortgages will be open and marketed to all Americans.

Pulte announced the new rules in response to a social media post by Natalie Winters that revealed mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were accommodating Sharia law-compliant mortgage loans.

 

Guidance Residential, a private Islamic home-financing company, publicly states that it brings Freddie Mac and, according to another passage on its website, Fannie Mae, into its transactions as investors.

The company describes its product as “Islamic co-ownership financing.” Instead of issuing a conventional interest-bearing mortgage, Guidance says it purchases a home alongside the buyer. The buyer then gradually acquires the company’s ownership share while paying for the use of the remaining share.

Guidance says the arrangement was constructed to satisfy Sharia principles prohibiting riba, or interest. It also claims that its Sharia board and 18 law firms developed a contract under which Freddie Mac can participate without purchasing conventional debt.

“Guidance simply brings on Freddie Mac as an additional investor,” the company states.

As RealClearInvestigations reported in May 2026, federal data show Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have become the primary investors in these Islamic mortgages, injecting billions of dollars in liquidity.

The Center for Security Policy and other national security analysts have warned for years that Sharia-compliant finance can serve as a vehicle for broader ideological penetration and potential material support networks. Yet under previous administrations, the practice continued largely without scrutiny at the highest levels of FHFA.

Earlier this month, Pulte said officials were examining the Fannie/Freddie Sharia-compliant loans.
