All stocks below pass AAOIFI and MSCI Islamic Index screening as of January 2026. They combine Shariah compliance with strong fundamentals and growth potential for the year ahead.
1. 🍎 Apple Inc (AAPL)
Why It's Halal
- Debt Ratio: 14% — well under the 30% threshold
- Cash Ratio: 15% — passes comfortably
- Impure Revenue: 1.9% — primarily from Apple Card interest (purify this portion of dividends)
2026 Outlook
Apple Intelligence rollout across all devices, Vision Pro enterprise adoption, and the iPhone 17 cycle position Apple for continued ecosystem growth. Services revenue (App Store, iCloud, Apple Music) provides recurring cash flow with minimal debt reliance.
2. 💻 Microsoft Corp (MSFT)
Why It's Halal
- Debt Ratio: 12% — conservative balance sheet
- Cash Ratio: 18% — healthy cash position
- Impure Revenue: 0.8% — minimal non-permissible income
2026 Outlook
Azure cloud growth continues at 25%+ YoY. AI Copilot integration across Office 365, GitHub, and Windows creates new revenue streams. Enterprise customers are locked into the Microsoft ecosystem, providing predictable recurring revenue.
3. 🔲 NVIDIA Corp (NVDA)
Why It's Halal
- Debt Ratio: 15% — low leverage for a tech giant
- Cash Ratio: 20% — strong cash reserves
- Impure Revenue: 1.2% — primarily interest on cash holdings
2026 Outlook
The AI chip market is NVIDIA's to lose. Blackwell architecture is ramping production, data center demand remains insatiable, and every major cloud provider (AWS, Azure, GCP) depends on NVIDIA GPUs. The only risk is supply constraints, not demand.
4. 📊 Salesforce (CRM)
Why It's Halal
- Debt Ratio: 18% — manageable debt load
- Cash Ratio: 12% — efficient capital allocation
- Impure Revenue: 0.5% — almost entirely from SaaS subscriptions
2026 Outlook
Agentforce (AI-powered autonomous agents) is Salesforce's biggest bet since acquiring Slack. The enterprise CRM market is consolidating around Salesforce, and their 98% gross retention rate ensures predictable revenue growth.
5. 🔒 CrowdStrike (CRWD)
Why It's Halal
- Debt Ratio: 8% — virtually debt-free
- Cash Ratio: 22% — strong cash position
- Impure Revenue: 0.3% — pure software business
2026 Outlook
Cybersecurity spending is non-discretionary for enterprises. CrowdStrike's Falcon platform is AI-native and catches threats that legacy vendors miss. Their module adoption rate (customers buying 5+ products) keeps expanding, driving revenue per customer higher.
6. 🏥 Intuitive Surgical (ISRG)
Why It's Halal
- Debt Ratio: 5% — essentially no debt
- Cash Ratio: 25% — significant cash reserves
- Impure Revenue: 0.2% — clean medical device business
2026 Outlook
The da Vinci surgical system has 80%+ market share in robotic surgery. New da Vinci 5 systems are driving upgrade cycles, and recurring instrument/accessory revenue (used in every procedure) creates a razor-and-blade business model.
7. ⚡ Tesla Inc (TSLA)
Why It's Halal
- Debt Ratio: 11% — paid down most debt
- Cash Ratio: 19% — strong liquidity
- Impure Revenue: 1.1% — primarily from regulatory credits (debated)
2026 Outlook
Beyond EVs, Tesla's energy storage (Megapack) and Full Self-Driving (FSD) licensing represent underappreciated growth vectors. The affordable Model 2/Q and Cybertruck ramp expand the addressable market significantly.
8. 🛒 Shopify (SHOP)
Why It's Halal
- Debt Ratio: 6% — minimal debt
- Cash Ratio: 28% — cash-rich
- Impure Revenue: 0.4% — pure e-commerce platform

Shopify powers 10%+ of US e-commerce. Their merchant solutions (payments, shipping, capital) have higher margins than subscriptions. The shift to enterprise (Shopify Plus) and B2B commerce opens new markets.
9. 💾 Advanced Micro Devices (AMD)
Why It's Halal
- Debt Ratio: 9% — disciplined balance sheet
- Cash Ratio: 16% — adequate liquidity
- Impure Revenue: 0.6% — hardware-focused business

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are tech stocks dominant on this list?
Technology companies typically have asset-light business models with minimal debt financing. They generate revenue from software subscriptions, hardware sales, and services — all permissible under Shariah. Traditional industries (banking, insurance, alcohol, gambling) are excluded by default.
Is NVIDIA halal despite the AI hype?
Yes. NVIDIA manufactures physical semiconductor chips — this is permissible manufacturing. The company's debt ratio (15%) and impure revenue (1.2%) both pass AAOIFI thresholds. How customers use the chips (AI, gaming, etc.) doesn't affect the halal status of the hardware itself.
Should I purify dividends from these stocks?
Yes, if the company has any impure revenue (even under 5%). Calculate: Dividend × Impure Revenue %. For example, if AAPL pays $1.00 dividend and has 1.9% impure revenue, donate $0.019 to charity.
How often is this list updated?
We revalidate all stocks quarterly after earnings reports (January, April, July, October). Ratios can change with new debt issuance, acquisitions, or revenue mix shifts. Subscribe to get notified when the list updates.
