Is Consolidated Edison (ED) stock Halal?
Consolidated Edison, Inc. (ED) is not Shariah compliant in the September 2026 AAOIFI screening: it fails the interest-bearing debt screen. Tabadulat re-screens ED monthly, and a stock can return to compliance when new financial reports change its ratios.
Consolidated Edison is a leading investor-owned utility company that specializes in the regulated delivery of electric, gas, and steam services in the United States. Its operations involve maintaining an extensive infrastructure network of transmission lines, substations, overhead and underground distribution lines, and natural gas pipelines, ensuring stable and reliable energy delivery to one of the most urbanized regions in the country. Before any of that matters to a Muslim investor, one question comes first: is Consolidated Edison stock Halal?
Is Consolidated Edison Shariah compliant?
In financial services the activity screen carries the verdict more often than anywhere else: AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 draws a hard line between fee based, permissible services and earning Riba as a business model. For Consolidated Edison, that distinction comes first, with the debt and investment ratios behind it.
Does Consolidated Edison pass the business activity test?
The activity screen is only part of the picture this month: Consolidated Edison currently fails the interest-bearing debt screen, so the overall verdict is not compliant regardless of the business itself. The watch item in this sector is the sharpest of all: revenue must come from permissible services, not from lending at interest.
Is Consolidated Edison's income Halal?
Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. Consolidated Edison's income from non-permissible sources stays below 5% of revenue in the September 2026 screening.
Does Consolidated Edison meet AAOIFI's debt and investment ratio requirements?
Not in full. Interest bearing debt currently exceeds 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.
