Is e.l.f. Beauty (ELF) stock Halal?
September 2026 AAOIFI screening result for e.l.f. Beauty, Inc. (ELF): non-permissible income, pass. Interest-bearing investments, pass. Interest-bearing debt, pass. Preference shares, pass. Dividend purification factor: 99.58%. Re-screened monthly against AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21.
e.l.f. Beauty is a beauty and personal care company specializing in color cosmetics, skincare, and related accessories. It focuses on offering a broad assortment of products at accessible price points, targeting mass-market consumers while emphasizing quality and on-trend formulations. The company’s portfolio typically includes items such as foundations, lip products, eye makeup, brushes, and skincare treatments designed to appeal to a wide demographic, including younger and value-conscious users. Before any of that matters to a Muslim investor, one question comes first: is e.l.f. Beauty stock Halal?
Is e.l.f. Beauty Shariah compliant?
Consumer staples companies like e.l.f. Beauty face the screening question at the shelf, not the balance sheet: does any revenue come from alcohol, tobacco or other impermissible lines? AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 tolerates such income only below 5% of revenue, with the financial ratios checked behind it.
Does e.l.f. Beauty pass the business activity test?
Yes. In the September 2026 screening e.l.f. Beauty holds an overall PASS, which a stock only earns when its core business clears the activity screen. The watch item is the product mix: any alcohol, tobacco or similar lines count against the 5% ceiling.
Is e.l.f. Beauty's income Halal?
Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. e.l.f. Beauty'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 99.58% tells holders of ELF what share of each dividend to keep and what remainder to donate to charity.
Does e.l.f. Beauty 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 ELF re-screened every month, and the result above always shows the latest verdict.
