Our Analysis

Airbnb operates a lodging marketplace and earns service fees when hosts and guests transact, with fiscal 2025 revenue of $12.2 billion. Matching travelers with accommodations for a fee is permissible in form, so on the surface Airbnb looks cleaner than a content or alcohol business. The complications are in the financial details and in the newer parts of the platform.

The most important Shariah-relevant fact is interest income. Airbnb collects guest payments before stays occur and holds large balances, about $7.0 billion of funds held on behalf of guests within roughly $17.9 billion of liquid assets, and it earned $705 million of interest on those balances in 2025. That interest equaled around 22.5% of the company's pretax income and roughly 6% of total revenue, which is a meaningful interest-linked share rather than a trivial one, and it is precisely the kind of figure that AAOIFI-style screens scrutinize and that an investor would purify. Separately, the Airbnb Experiences business it relaunched in May 2025 can include activities tied to alcohol or nightlife, though Airbnb does not break out that revenue.

Airbnb is in the S&P 500 but is held by neither SPUS (as of June 11, 2026) nor HLAL (as of February 28, 2026). The size of the interest income is a plausible reason a financial-ratio screen would exclude it, but neither fund publishes a stock-level explanation, so the cause cannot be stated with certainty. For a Muslim investor, Airbnb currently sits outside both major US Shariah funds, and the documented interest income is the central issue to weigh; a live screener should be consulted before relying on any verdict.

Business Activity Screen

Pass· impermissible revenue ≈ 5.8% (AAOIFI limit < 5%)

Airbnb, Inc. operates a global marketplace connecting hosts and guests for stays, and increasingly for experiences and services, earning service fees on bookings. Per its fiscal 2025 results (year ended December 31, 2025; reported February 12, 2026), total revenue was $12,241 million, up 10% year over year. Airbnb relaunched Airbnb Experiences and added Airbnb Services in May 2025.

Airbnb's core marketplace fee model is permissible in form, but two items are Shariah-relevant and documented in its financials. (1) Interest income: Airbnb earned $705 million of interest income in fiscal 2025 (down from $818M in 2024), primarily on its liquid assets including approximately $7.0 billion of funds held on behalf of guests collected before check-in; this interest income equaled roughly 22.5% of pretax income ($3,137M) and about 5.8% of total revenue, a material interest-linked figure that screeners weigh heavily against AAOIFI tolerance. (2) Experiences/Services: the relaunched Airbnb Experiences can include activities that may involve impermissible elements (for example experiences centered on alcohol or nightlife); Airbnb does not separately disclose Experiences or Services revenue, so the share is not quantifiable. Airbnb is an S&P 500 constituent but is absent from SPUS (2026-06-11) and HLAL (2026-02-28); the substantial interest income is a plausible cause, but the funds do not publish per-stock reasons.

Financial Ratio Screen

Spot market cap at research date (consider trailing average for borderline names). Data as of 2026-03-31 · thresholds per AAOIFI Shariah standards.

This verdict uses the AAOIFI standard — the most widely used and, at a 30% debt limit, the most conservative mainstream Shariah standard. Interest-bearing debt and interest-bearing securities each stay under 30% of market cap, and impermissible income under 5% of revenue. Other standards (Dow Jones Islamic, S&P Shariah, MSCI Islamic, FTSE Yasaar) use ~33% limits or screen against total assets, so a borderline company can be rated differently by each.

How Airbnb screens across Shariah standards

The standards disagree on this company. It passes some Shariah screens and fails others — which is exactly why you may see a different answer in different apps. Our headline verdict uses AAOIFI, the strictest and most widely cited mainstream standard.

Standard	Debt	Cash & interest securities	Limit / basis	Result
AAOIFI (our standard)	3.3%	15.8%	< 30% of market cap	Pass
Dow Jones Islamic / S&P Shariah thresholdDow Jones and S&P apply this limit against a trailing 24–36-month average market cap; shown here on the same point-in-time market cap for comparison.	3.3%	15.8%	< 33% of market cap	Pass
MSCI Islamic / FTSE Yasaar basisTotal-assets denominator. MSCI/FTSE also apply entry/exit buffers and a receivables screen we do not reproduce.	9.4%	45.0%	< 33.33% of total assets	Fail

HalalWallet computation reproducing each standard's threshold and denominator from public filings (balance sheet as of 2026-03-31) — not the providers' licensed index determinations, which can differ. Debt is interest-bearing borrowings (operating leases excluded). The impermissible-income screen (< 5% of revenue) is common to all of these standards and is shown in the ratio table above. Dow Jones and S&P apply their limit against a trailing 24–36-month average market cap; MSCI and FTSE add entry/exit buffers and a receivables screen. Full methodology →

These companies pass under some mainstream standards and fail under others — the same pattern as this verdict. That is why two apps can show different answers.
