Is Core Scientific (CORZ) 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. Core Scientific, Inc. (CORZ) does not meet the threshold for the interest-bearing debt screen as of September 2026, so it is not Shariah compliant.
Core Scientific is a technology company specializing in high-density digital infrastructure services, primarily focused on digital asset mining and high-performance computing. It operates purpose-built facilities across various U.S. states, providing colocation services that support intensive computational workloads such as bitcoin mining and artificial intelligence applications. The company manages its own fleet of mining computers to generate digital assets and offers hosting services, including deployment, maintenance, and optimization, for third-party mining operations. For Muslim investors, though, the most pressing question is simpler: is Core Scientific a Halal investment?
Is Core Scientific Shariah compliant?
Technology companies rarely fail AAOIFI screening on what they sell. Software, hardware and digital services are permissible business activities, so for a company like Core Scientific the Shariah question moves to the balance sheet: how much of its market value sits in interest bearing debt, how much of its cash earns Riba in conventional deposits, and whether incidental income from impermissible sources creeps past 5% of revenue. These are exactly the ratios AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 polices, and they move every month with the share price.
Does Core Scientific pass the business activity test?
The activity screen is only part of the picture this month: Core Scientific currently fails the interest-bearing debt screen, so the overall verdict is not compliant regardless of the business itself. The watch item for technology names is incidental: cash returns and platform content can carry impermissible elements, which AAOIFI tolerates only below the thresholds.
Is Core Scientific's income Halal?
Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. Core Scientific's income from non-permissible sources stays below 5% of revenue in the September 2026 screening.
Does Core Scientific 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.
