Question 1

Which S&P 500 stocks are halal?

Accepted Answer

Based on AAOIFI 30/30/5 screening, 34 out of 50 screened S&P 500 stocks are currently Shariah compliant. Compliance status is updated regularly as new financial data becomes available. Use the table above to see the full breakdown of compliant, non-compliant, and needs-review stocks.

Question 2

What is the AAOIFI 30/30/5 screening standard?

Accepted Answer

The AAOIFI 30/30/5 standard is the most widely adopted Shariah screening methodology. It requires: (1) the company does not primarily operate in haram industries, (2) interest-bearing debt is below 30% of market capitalization, (3) cash and interest-bearing securities are below 30% of market cap, and (4) non-permissible income is below 5% of total revenue. A stock must pass all four criteria to be considered Shariah compliant.

Question 3

Can a S&P 500 stock's halal status change?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Shariah compliance status can change every quarter when companies release new financial data. Changes in debt levels, cash holdings, or revenue composition can push a stock above or below the AAOIFI thresholds. Halalytic uses the latest available financial data so you always see the current compliance status. We recommend checking compliance regularly, especially after earnings reports.

Question 4

How do I invest in halal S&P 500 stocks?

Accepted Answer

First, check which S&P 500 stocks are Shariah compliant using the table on this page. Then open an account with a broker that supports halal investing. Only invest in stocks that pass AAOIFI screening. For any compliant stock with a small non-permissible income ratio, calculate and donate the purification (tazkiyah) amount to charity. Alternatively, consider Shariah-compliant ETFs like SPUS or HLAL that pre-screen the S&P 500 for halal compliance.

Question 5

Do I need to pay zakat on S&P 500 stocks?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If you hold stocks for investment (not just for day trading), you must pay zakat of 2.5% on the market value of your holdings once they exceed the nisab threshold and have been held for one full lunar year (hawl). Use the Halalytic Zakat Calculator to determine your exact zakat obligation on stock holdings.
