Is D-MARKET Elektronik Hizmetler ve Ticaret (HEPS) stock Halal?
As of the September 2026 screening, D-MARKET Elektronik Hizmetler ve Ticaret AS (HEPS) does not meet the AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 threshold for the non-permissible income and interest-bearing investments screens, so the stock is not currently classified as Shariah compliant. It is re-screened every month and can regain compliance if its financial structure changes.
D-MARKET Elektronik Hizmetler ve Ticaret represents the American Depositary Receipts of D-Market, a prominent e-commerce platform based in Turkey. The primary function of D-Market is to facilitate online retail transactions, offering consumers an array of products ranging from electronics and fashion to household goods and groceries. The company operates through its digital portal, serving as a comprehensive marketplace for both buyers and sellers, thus streamlining the shopping experience with integrated payment solutions and efficient delivery systems. For Muslim investors, though, the most pressing question is simpler: is D-MARKET Elektronik Hizmetler ve Ticaret a Halal investment?
Is D-MARKET Elektronik Hizmetler ve Ticaret Shariah compliant?
For industrial companies like D-MARKET Elektronik Hizmetler ve Ticaret, the product is rarely the problem; aircraft, vehicles and machinery are permissible. The exposure is leverage: fleets and factories are financed, and the 30% cap that AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 places on interest bearing debt is the screen that decides most verdicts in this sector.
Does D-MARKET Elektronik Hizmetler ve Ticaret pass the business activity test?
The activity screen is only part of the picture this month: D-MARKET Elektronik Hizmetler ve Ticaret currently fails the non-permissible income and interest-bearing investments 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 D-MARKET Elektronik Hizmetler ve Ticaret's income Halal?
No. D-MARKET Elektronik Hizmetler ve Ticaret'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 D-MARKET Elektronik Hizmetler ve Ticaret meet AAOIFI's debt and investment ratio requirements?
Not in full. Interest bearing investments currently exceed 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.
