Is Dick's Sporting Goods (DKS) 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. Dick's Sporting Goods, Inc. (DKS) passes all four screens as of September 2026, with a dividend purification factor of 99.76%.
Dick's Sporting Goods is a major American sporting goods retailer, operating a vast network of stores across the United States. The company primarily focuses on providing a wide array of sporting equipment, apparel, and footwear, catering to athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and outdoor adventurers. With an extensive range of products spanning team sports, golf, running, and camping, Dick's Sporting Goods aims to support the active lifestyle and diverse interests of its customer base. For Muslim investors, though, the most pressing question is simpler: is Dick's Sporting Goods a Halal investment?
Is Dick's Sporting Goods Shariah compliant?
For industrial companies like Dick's Sporting Goods, 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 Dick's Sporting Goods pass the business activity test?
Yes. In the September 2026 screening Dick's Sporting Goods holds an overall PASS, which a stock only earns when its core business clears the activity screen. The activity itself raises no Shariah objection; the scrutiny belongs to the financing.
Is Dick's Sporting Goods' income Halal?
Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. Dick's Sporting Goods' 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 99.76% tells holders of DKS what share of each dividend to keep and what remainder to donate to charity.
Does Dick's Sporting Goods 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 DKS re-screened every month, and the result above always shows the latest verdict.
