Is Hesai (HSAI) stock Halal?
September 2026 AAOIFI screening result for Hesai Group (HSAI): non-permissible income, fail. Interest-bearing investments, pass. Interest-bearing debt, pass. Preference shares, pass. Hesai Group is not currently Shariah compliant. Re-screened monthly against AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21.
Hesai is a prominent company in the technology sector, specializing in the development and production of advanced sensor solutions, particularly those involving light detection and ranging (LiDAR) technology. LiDAR sensors are essential components in a variety of industries, including autonomous vehicles, robotics, and industrial automation, where precision and reliability are crucial for operation. Before any of that matters to a Muslim investor, one question comes first: is Hesai stock Halal?
Is Hesai Shariah compliant?
Industrial businesses like Hesai usually pass the activity screen without drama. The harder test is financial: heavy assets mean heavy financing, and AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 tolerates interest bearing debt and investments only below 30% of market capitalisation, ratios that shift with every move in the share price.
Does Hesai pass the business activity test?
The activity screen is only part of the picture this month: Hesai currently fails the non-permissible income screen, so the overall verdict is not compliant regardless of the business itself. The activity itself raises no Shariah objection; the scrutiny belongs to the financing.
Is Hesai's income Halal?
No. Hesai's income from impermissible sources currently exceeds AAOIFI's 5% revenue ceiling, which makes the stock non-compliant on this screen regardless of the others. The screen is reassessed monthly, so the status can change when new financial statements arrive.
Does Hesai 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 HSAI re-screened every month, and the result above always shows the latest verdict.
