Is Gilead Sciences (GILD) stock Halal?
As of the September 2026 screening, Gilead Sciences, Inc. (GILD) meets every AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 requirement: non-permissible income, interest-bearing investments and interest-bearing debt all sit within the thresholds, and there is no impermissible preference share structure. The dividend purification factor is 99.45%. The stock is re-screened every month.
Gilead Sciences is a biopharmaceutical company that focuses on researching, developing, and commercializing innovative medicines in areas of unmet medical need. It is globally recognized for its distinguished work, particularly in the treatment of HIV, liver diseases such as hepatitis B and C, and various forms of cancer. The company's portfolio includes groundbreaking antiviral therapies and a robust pipeline of investigational drugs. For Muslim investors, though, the most pressing question is simpler: is Gilead Sciences a Halal investment?
Is Gilead Sciences Shariah compliant?
Medicines and medical devices are permissible, and healthcare companies like Gilead Sciences usually clear the activity screen comfortably. What AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 watches is the financing behind the pipeline: drug development is expensive, and the 30% interest bearing debt cap decides the verdict more often than the science does.
Does Gilead Sciences pass the business activity test?
Yes. In the September 2026 screening Gilead Sciences 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 Gilead Sciences' income Halal?
Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. Gilead Sciences' 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 99.45% tells holders of GILD what share of each dividend to keep and what remainder to donate to charity.
Does Gilead Sciences 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 GILD re-screened every month, and the result above always shows the latest verdict.
