Our Analysis
Campbell Soup Company is a publicly traded company in its sector. Review the latest 10-K segment disclosure for revenue mix.
Financial ratios drive the fail (data as of 2026-05-03): interest-bearing debt / market cap at 103.1% versus the < 30% limit.
Zoya's public page did not return a clear status when we checked (checked 2026-06-15). Musaffa lists it NOT HALAL. U.S. Shariah ETFs SPUS and HLAL publish holdings on their own schedules — absence from a top-holdings list is not the same as a failed screen; verify current ETF holdings if index validation matters to you.
Practical takeaway: do not treat this as a borderline hold — the fail is structural on our methodology. Use Shariah-screened ETFs (SPUS, HLAL) or individually screened peers in the same sector instead.
Investors should treat this page as one dated AAOIFI-based screen — not a personal fatwa — and verify the latest filing before trading.

Spot market cap at research date (consider trailing average for borderline names). Data as of 2026-05-03 · 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 Campbell Soup screens across Shariah standards
All three mainstream bases below reach the same conclusion for this company.
| Standard | Debt | Cash & interest securities | Limit / basis | Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AAOIFI (our standard) | 103.1% | 5.9% | < 30% of market cap | Fail |
| 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. | 103.1% | 5.9% | < 33% of market cap | Fail |
| MSCI Islamic / FTSE Yasaar basisTotal-assets denominator. MSCI/FTSE also apply entry/exit buffers and a receivables screen we do not reproduce. | 46.3% | 2.7% | < 33.33% of total assets | Fail |
HalalWallet computation reproducing each standard's threshold and denominator from public filings (balance sheet as of 2026-05-03) — 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 →
