How We Determine if AAPL Is Halal

Our Shariah compliance screening confirms that Apple currently meets all Islamic investment criteria under AAOIFI (Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions) standards. Here's how we evaluate AAPL:

  1. Business Activity Screening: Apple is evaluated to ensure its primary revenue comes from halal (permissible) activities. Companies involved in alcohol, gambling, tobacco, conventional banking, adult entertainment, or weapons manufacturing are excluded.
  2. Financial Ratio Screening: The company's debt-to-market-cap ratio must be below 30%. Interest-bearing income and impure income must each remain below 5% of total revenue.
  3. Ongoing Monitoring: Apple is reviewed at minimum once per quarter. The most recent review was completed on February 3, 2026. If the company's operations, acquisitions, or financial structure change significantly, an immediate review is conducted.
