Is First Solar (FSLR) stock Halal?
September 2026 AAOIFI screening result for First Solar, Inc. (FSLR): non-permissible income, pass. Interest-bearing investments, pass. Interest-bearing debt, pass. Preference shares, pass. Dividend purification factor: 97.25%. Re-screened monthly against AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21.
First Solar is a leading manufacturer and provider of solar energy solutions, specializing in the design and production of photovoltaic (PV) modules. The company's primary purpose is to deliver sustainable, environmentally friendly energy solutions by harnessing the power of solar technology. First Solar focuses on producing thin-film solar panels, which are known for their high efficiency and lower cost of production compared to traditional silicon-based panels. Before any of that matters to a Muslim investor, one question comes first: is First Solar stock Halal?
Is First Solar Shariah compliant?
The Shariah case on a technology company like First Solar is rarely about the product. What AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 examines is the money around the product: cash parked in instruments that earn Riba, borrowing measured against a market capitalisation that moves daily, and any incidental income from sources Islam prohibits, which must stay below 5% of revenue.
Does First Solar pass the business activity test?
Yes. In the September 2026 screening First Solar holds an overall PASS, which a stock only earns when its core business clears the activity screen. 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 First Solar's income Halal?
Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. First Solar'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 97.25% tells holders of FSLR what share of each dividend to keep and what remainder to donate to charity.
Does First Solar 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 FSLR re-screened every month, and the result above always shows the latest verdict.
