The 144 Stocks Where Halal Screening Authorities Disagree
The same stock can be “halal” in one app and “not halal” in another - and both apps are applying their methodology correctly. This page documents every recorded case, side by side. No screening app can publish this list; a neutral scorekeeper can.
Do the halal screening authorities agree with each other?
Of the 270 U.S.-screened entities where at least two recognized halal screening authorities have published a position, the authorities disagree on 144 (53%). On 27 stocks the split is direct - at least one authority rates the stock halal while another rates it not halal. The disagreement is almost always methodology, not error: AAOIFI caps debt at 30% of market cap while other standards use ~33% or total assets, and data dates differ.
HalalWallet is not a Shariah authority and does not issue religious rulings. We compile the most complete public record of what Shariah scholars, screening authorities, and mainstream standards say - reproduced from primary sources with dates and citations - and let you decide.
Direct conflicts: halal on one authority, not halal on another27
The starkest cases. Click any company for the full verdict - the exact ratios, each authority's dated position, and what drives the split.
Partial splits: pass vs doubtful117
One or more authorities flag these as doubtful or conditional while others pass them - typically a company sitting near a ratio threshold.
Why does this happen?
Almost every split traces to methodology: AAOIFI caps interest-bearing debt at 30% of market capitalization, Dow Jones/S&P use ~33%, and MSCI/FTSE screen against total assets. Add different data dates and different treatment of borderline revenue, and a company near a threshold flips between standards.

- Bring your shortlist to a qualified Islamic finance advisor or scholar, so the conversation is about your situation, not the basics.
