Disclaimer

The Shariah compliance screening provided by HalalCheck is based on publicly available financial data and our interpretation of AAOIFI-aligned screening criteria. While we strive for accuracy and completeness, HalalCheck does not provide religious rulings (fatwas) and our screening results should not be construed as such. Investors and institutions are encouraged to consult their own Shariah advisors for specific compliance determinations.

02

Financial Ratio Screening

Companies that pass the business activity screen are then assessed against financial ratio thresholds to ensure limited exposure to interest-based debt and impure income:

Total interest-bearing debt to total assets must not exceed 33%
Interest-bearing deposits and investments to total assets must not exceed 33%
Impure income to total revenue must not exceed 5%

Conventional financial services and interest-based banking
Alcohol, pork, gambling, and tobacco industries
