Is CarParts.com (PRTS) stock Halal?
CarParts.com, Inc. (PRTS) is not Shariah compliant in the September 2026 AAOIFI screening: it fails the interest-bearing investments and interest-bearing debt screens. Tabadulat re-screens PRTS monthly, and a stock can return to compliance when new financial reports change its ratios.
CarParts.com is a leading e-commerce platform specializing in the distribution of automotive parts and accessories. Its primary function is to provide a convenient, extensive online marketplace for customers looking for diverse car parts, ranging from replacement components to performance enhancements. CarParts.com plays a crucial role in the automotive aftermarket industry, catering to both individual car owners and professional mechanics who require reliable, cost-effective parts for vehicle maintenance and repair. Before any of that matters to a Muslim investor, one question comes first: is CarParts.com stock Halal?
Is CarParts.com Shariah compliant?
Industrial businesses like CarParts.com usually pass the activity screen without drama. The harder test is financial: heavy assets mean heavy financing, and AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 tolerates interest bearing debt and investments only below 30% of market capitalisation, ratios that shift with every move in the share price.
Does CarParts.com pass the business activity test?
The activity screen is only part of the picture this month: CarParts.com currently fails the interest-bearing investments and interest-bearing debt screens, so the overall verdict is not compliant regardless of the business itself. The activity itself raises no Shariah objection; the scrutiny belongs to the financing.
Is CarParts.com's income Halal?
Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. CarParts.com's income from non-permissible sources stays below 5% of revenue in the September 2026 screening.
Does CarParts.com 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 PRTS re-screened every month.
