Is Aurora Cannabis (ACB) stock Halal?
Under AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21, a Halal stock keeps non-permissible income below 5% of revenue and interest-bearing debt and investments each below 30% of market capitalisation. Aurora Cannabis, Inc. (ACB) does not meet the threshold for the non-permissible income and interest-bearing investments screens as of September 2026, so it is not Shariah compliant.
Aurora Cannabis is an established player in the medicinal and recreational cannabis industry. With its headquarters in Edmonton, Canada, Aurora operates one of the world's largest facility networks geared towards cannabis production. The primary purpose of Aurora Cannabis is to provide high-quality, affordable products for both medical and adult-use markets, leveraging scientific innovation and cultivation expertise. For Muslim investors, though, the most pressing question is simpler: is Aurora Cannabis a Halal investment?
Is Aurora Cannabis Shariah compliant?
Medicines and medical devices are permissible, and healthcare companies like Aurora Cannabis usually clear the activity screen comfortably. What AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 watches is the financing behind the pipeline: drug development is expensive, and the 30% interest bearing debt cap decides the verdict more often than the science does.
Does Aurora Cannabis pass the business activity test?
The activity screen is only part of the picture this month: Aurora Cannabis currently fails the non-permissible income and interest-bearing investments screens, so the overall verdict is not compliant regardless of the business itself. Treating illness is permissible work; the scrutiny belongs to the financing behind it.
Is Aurora Cannabis' income Halal?
No. Aurora Cannabis' income from impermissible sources currently exceeds AAOIFI's 5% revenue ceiling, which makes the stock non-compliant on this screen regardless of the others. The screen is reassessed monthly, so the status can change when new financial statements arrive.
Does Aurora Cannabis meet AAOIFI's debt and investment ratio requirements?
Not in full. Interest bearing investments currently exceed the 30% cap, while the other ratio stays within it. One breach is enough to fail the screening; the ratios are reassessed monthly under our Shariah Supervisory Board.
