Shariah Screening Criteria
For a stock or fund to be halal, it must pass both business activity screening (no prohibited industries) and financial ratio screening (debt-to-market-cap typically below 33%, interest income below 5% of total revenue). Several screening services exist including MSCI Islamic Index, Dow Jones Islamic Market Index, and AAOIFI standards.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is investing in the stock market halal?
Stock investing itself is permissible, but individual stocks must pass Shariah screening — the underlying business must avoid prohibited activities (alcohol, gambling, conventional banking, pork, weapons) and meet financial ratio limits (typically under 33% debt-to-market-cap and under 5% interest-based income).
Do I still owe Zakat on my halal investments?
Yes. Shariah-compliant investments are zakatable wealth like any other asset. Once held for a full lunar year and above the nisab threshold, 2.5% Zakat is due annually on the zakatable portion of your investment balance.
What's the difference between a halal ETF and Sukuk?
A halal ETF holds a basket of Shariah-screened stocks, so returns move with equity markets. Sukuk are Islamic bonds structured around ownership of a real asset rather than interest — they behave more like fixed-income investments, generally with lower volatility than equities.
How do I know if a specific fund is actually Shariah-compliant?
Look for certification from a recognized Shariah board or index — such as the Dow Jones Islamic Market Index, MSCI Islamic Index, or AAOIFI standards — and check the fund's published screening methodology rather than relying on the name alone.
