Is ASML (ASML) stock Halal?

ASML is a leading global provider of advanced technological systems for the semiconductor industry. Specializing in the development of photolithography systems used in the production of integrated circuits, ASML plays a crucial role in enabling chipmakers to enhance silicon precision and computational power. Its advanced equipment is at the core of producing smaller, faster, and more power-efficient chips, pivotal for the progress of sectors like consumer electronics, data centers, automotive, and telecommunications. Before any of that matters to a Muslim investor, one question comes first: is ASML stock Halal?

Is ASML Shariah compliant?

The Shariah case on a technology company like ASML is rarely about the product. What AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 examines is the money around the product: cash parked in instruments that earn Riba, borrowing measured against a market capitalisation that moves daily, and any incidental income from sources Islam prohibits, which must stay below 5% of revenue.

Does ASML pass the business activity test?

Yes. In the September 2026 screening ASML 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 ASML's income Halal?

Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. ASML'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 99.68% tells holders of ASML what share of each dividend to keep and what remainder to donate to charity.

Does ASML 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 ASML re-screened every month, and the result above always shows the latest verdict.
