Is Core AI (CHAI) stock Halal?
September 2026 AAOIFI screening result for Core AI Holdings, Inc. (CHAI): non-permissible income, pass. Interest-bearing investments, pass. Interest-bearing debt, pass. Preference shares, pass. Dividend purification factor: 100%. Re-screened monthly against AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21.
Core AI is a technology company focused on the development and global publishing of artificial intelligence-driven mobile games and applications. The company leverages advanced AI technologies to create engaging digital entertainment experiences for a worldwide audience, while also supporting third-party developers in launching innovative, player-centric apps and games. The firm has a relatively lean organizational structure, employing approximately 25 staff members, and is led by CEO Aitan Zacharin. Before any of that matters to a Muslim investor, one question comes first: is Core AI stock Halal?
Is Core AI Shariah compliant?
For a company like Core AI, 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 Core AI pass the business activity test?
Yes. In the September 2026 screening Core AI holds an overall PASS, which a stock only earns when its core business clears the activity screen. The watch item is content: advertising and programming can include impermissible material, which AAOIFI treats as incidental only below the 5% revenue ceiling.
Is Core AI's income Halal?
Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. Core AI'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 100% tells holders of CHAI what share of each dividend to keep and what remainder to donate to charity.
Does Core AI 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 CHAI re-screened every month, and the result above always shows the latest verdict.
