Is AstraZeneca (AZN) stock Halal?
AstraZeneca is a multinational pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical company known for its extensive research-driven approach to drug development. The company focuses on the discovery, development, and commercialization of prescription medicines, primarily in three main therapy areas: Oncology, Cardiovascular, Renal & Metabolism, and Respiratory & Immunology. Before any of that matters to a Muslim investor, one question comes first: is AstraZeneca stock Halal?
Is AstraZeneca Shariah compliant?
Healthcare rarely troubles the activity screen; treating illness is permissible work. For AstraZeneca, 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 AstraZeneca pass the business activity test?
Yes. In the September 2026 screening AstraZeneca 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 AstraZeneca's income Halal?
Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. AstraZeneca'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 99.49% tells holders of AZN what share of each dividend to keep and what remainder to donate to charity.
Does AstraZeneca 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 AZN re-screened every month, and the result above always shows the latest verdict.
