Is AbbVie (ABBV) stock Halal?
September 2026 AAOIFI screening result for AbbVie, Inc. (ABBV): non-permissible income, pass. Interest-bearing investments, pass. Interest-bearing debt, pass. Preference shares, pass. Dividend purification factor: 99.61%. Re-screened monthly against AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21.
AbbVie is a leading global biopharmaceutical company specializing in the discovery, development, manufacturing, and marketing of innovative pharmaceuticals. Its product portfolio includes notable drugs such as Humira for autoimmune diseases, Skyrizi and Rinvoq for psoriasis and arthritis, as well as oncology treatments like Imbruvica and Venclexta. The company has expanded its pipeline and therapeutic reach through strategic acquisitions, including Allergan, which added aesthetic products like Botox, and more recent acquisitions in neuroscience and oncology. Before any of that matters to a Muslim investor, one question comes first: is AbbVie stock Halal?
Is AbbVie Shariah compliant?
Healthcare rarely troubles the activity screen; treating illness is permissible work. For AbbVie, the AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 verdict turns on the balance sheet instead: research is capital hungry, and interest bearing debt and investments must each stay below 30% of market capitalisation.
Does AbbVie pass the business activity test?
Yes. In the September 2026 screening AbbVie holds an overall PASS, which a stock only earns when its core business clears the activity screen. Treating illness is permissible work; the scrutiny belongs to the financing behind it.
Is AbbVie's income Halal?
Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. AbbVie's income from non-permissible sources stays below 5% of revenue in the September 2026 screening, and the small impure portion is handled through purification: the factor of 99.61% tells holders of ABBV what share of each dividend to keep and what remainder to donate to charity.
Does AbbVie meet AAOIFI's debt and investment ratio requirements?
Yes. Both caps hold this month: interest bearing investments and interest bearing debt each stay below 30% of market capitalisation. Because the caps move with the share price, our Shariah Supervisory Board has ABBV re-screened every month, and the result above always shows the latest verdict.
