How We Determine if V Is Halal

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

  1. Business Activity Screening: Visa 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: Visa 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.

What should I do if V becomes non-compliant?

If V or any stock you hold becomes non-compliant:

  1. Sell within a reasonable timeframe. Most scholars recommend 30 to 90 days.
  2. Purify your gains. Calculate any profits earned during the non-compliant period and donate that amount to charity.
  3. Find alternatives. Look for Shariah-compliant stocks in the same sector.
