Is Immersion (IMMR) stock Halal?
September 2026 AAOIFI screening result for Immersion Corp. (IMMR): non-permissible income, pass. Interest-bearing investments, fail. Interest-bearing debt, fail. Preference shares, pass. Immersion Corp. is not currently Shariah compliant. Re-screened monthly against AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21.
Immersion specializes in the development and licensing of haptic technology, which is used to create touch-based interactions with electronic devices. The company's primary function is to innovate and provide solutions that enhance digital interaction by enabling devices to produce tactile feedback, widely known as 'haptics.' This technology is crucial for various industries, including mobile communications, automotive, gaming, and consumer electronics, where the sense of touch improves user experiences and product functionality. Before any of that matters to a Muslim investor, one question comes first: is Immersion stock Halal?
Is Immersion Shariah compliant?
The Shariah case on a technology company like Immersion 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 Immersion pass the business activity test?
The activity screen is only part of the picture this month: Immersion currently fails the interest-bearing investments and interest-bearing debt screens, so the overall verdict is not compliant regardless of the business itself. 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 Immersion's income Halal?
Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. Immersion's income from non-permissible sources stays below 5% of revenue in the September 2026 screening.
Does Immersion meet AAOIFI's debt and investment ratio requirements?
No. Both ratios currently breach the 30% caps: interest bearing investments and interest bearing debt each exceed the limit AAOIFI permits for a Halal investment. The ratios move with the share price as well as the balance sheet, and our Shariah Supervisory Board has IMMR re-screened every month.
