Is Eli Lilly (LLY) stock Halal?
Eli Lilly & Co. (LLY) is Shariah compliant in the September 2026 AAOIFI screening, passing all four AAOIFI screens. Dividends are purified using a factor of 99.61%. Tabadulat re-screens LLY monthly, and the status can change when new financial data arrives.
Eli Lilly is a leading pharmaceutical firm with a global reputation for developing and marketing innovative medicines. Founded in 1876 and headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, the company operates within the pharmaceuticals and biotechnology sector, addressing a wide spectrum of diseases through prescription drugs and biopharmaceutical products. Before any of that matters to a Muslim investor, one question comes first: is Eli Lilly stock Halal?
Is Eli Lilly Shariah compliant?
Healthcare rarely troubles the activity screen; treating illness is permissible work. For Eli Lilly, the AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 verdict turns on the balance sheet instead: research is capital hungry, and interest bearing debt and investments must each stay below 30% of market capitalisation.
Does Eli Lilly pass the business activity test?
Yes. In the September 2026 screening Eli Lilly holds an overall PASS, which a stock only earns when its core business clears the activity screen. Treating illness is permissible work; the scrutiny belongs to the financing behind it.
Is Eli Lilly's income Halal?
Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. Eli Lilly'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 99.61% tells holders of LLY what share of each dividend to keep and what remainder to donate to charity.
Does Eli Lilly 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 LLY re-screened every month, and the result above always shows the latest verdict.
