I’m aware of the gold ETFs (tagged). What are the alternative stocks or funds that can help us hedge against inflation while staying shariah compliant.

It looks like SPRE is a good option, at least according to Which Equity Sectors Can Combat Higher Inflation? - Figure 3 - as SPRE is an equity REIT.
The other good hedge appears to be energy-sector funds. I’m not in a position to invest in individual energy stocks though (lacking knowledge and time). One concern is if someone decided to shift to a high allocation to energy after high inflation expectations are baked into the prices (buying high). At some point (e.g. after inflation fears are contained) other sectors will start to outperform energy. If you buy into one of the halal funds mentioned elsewhere on this site, you’ll likely have some investment in energy already which you can confirm by looking at the holding details.
