Is Arcutis Biotherapeutics (ARQT) stock Halal?
As of the September 2026 screening, Arcutis Biotherapeutics, Inc. (ARQT) meets every AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 requirement: non-permissible income, interest-bearing investments and interest-bearing debt all sit within the thresholds, and there is no impermissible preference share structure. The dividend purification factor is 98.28%. The stock is re-screened every month.
Arcutis Biotherapeutics is a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to developing and commercializing innovative treatments for dermatological diseases and conditions. Primarily focused on enhancing therapies for skin diseases, Arcutis aims to improve the standard of care in dermatology through the use of its proprietary technologies and formulation science expertise. The company addresses critical needs across a variety of dermatological disorders, including psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, and seborrheic dermatitis, by creating topical treatments that prioritize patient comfort and efficacy. For Muslim investors, though, the most pressing question is simpler: is Arcutis Biotherapeutics a Halal investment?
Is Arcutis Biotherapeutics Shariah compliant?
Technology companies rarely fail AAOIFI screening on what they sell. Software, hardware and digital services are permissible business activities, so for a company like Arcutis Biotherapeutics the Shariah question moves to the balance sheet: how much of its market value sits in interest bearing debt, how much of its cash earns Riba in conventional deposits, and whether incidental income from impermissible sources creeps past 5% of revenue. These are exactly the ratios AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 polices, and they move every month with the share price.
Does Arcutis Biotherapeutics pass the business activity test?
Yes. In the September 2026 screening Arcutis Biotherapeutics holds an overall PASS, which a stock only earns when its core business clears the activity screen. The watch item for technology names is incidental: cash returns and platform content can carry impermissible elements, which AAOIFI tolerates only below the thresholds.
Is Arcutis Biotherapeutics' income Halal?
Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. Arcutis Biotherapeutics' 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 98.28% tells holders of ARQT what share of each dividend to keep and what remainder to donate to charity.
Does Arcutis Biotherapeutics 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 ARQT re-screened every month, and the result above always shows the latest verdict.
