Is Bumble (BMBL) stock Halal?
Bumble, Inc. (BMBL) is not Shariah compliant in the September 2026 AAOIFI screening: it fails the non-permissible income, interest-bearing investments and interest-bearing debt screens. Tabadulat re-screens BMBL monthly, and a stock can return to compliance when new financial reports change its ratios.
Bumble is a social networking and dating service company, known for its distinctive approach where women initiate the conversation in heterosexual matches. Bumble also extends its platform beyond dating, offering networking services through Bumble BFF for friendships and Bumble Bizz for professional connections, catering to a modern demographic interested in forming meaningful relationships across personal and professional spheres. Before any of that matters to a Muslim investor, one question comes first: is Bumble stock Halal?
Is Bumble Shariah compliant?
For a company like Bumble, the first question AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 asks is about content and advertising: platform businesses can carry impermissible elements, and the standard tolerates them only as incidental income below 5% of revenue. Only then do the financial ratios come into play.
Does Bumble pass the business activity test?
The activity screen is only part of the picture this month: Bumble currently fails the non-permissible income, interest-bearing investments and interest-bearing debt screens, so the overall verdict is not compliant regardless of the business itself. The watch item is content: advertising and programming can include impermissible material, which AAOIFI treats as incidental only below the 5% revenue ceiling.
Is Bumble's income Halal?
No. Bumble's 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 Bumble meet AAOIFI's debt and investment ratio requirements?
No. Both ratios currently breach the 30% caps: interest bearing investments and interest bearing debt each exceed the limit AAOIFI permits for a Halal investment. The ratios move with the share price as well as the balance sheet, and our Shariah Supervisory Board has BMBL re-screened every month.
