Is Intuitive Surgical (ISRG) stock Halal?
September 2026 AAOIFI screening result for Intuitive Surgical, Inc. (ISRG): non-permissible income, pass. Interest-bearing investments, pass. Interest-bearing debt, pass. Preference shares, pass. Dividend purification factor: 100%. Re-screened monthly against AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21.
Intuitive Surgical is a pioneering company in the field of robotic-assisted, minimally invasive surgery. It is renowned for its development of the da Vinci Surgical System, which revolutionizes surgical procedures by enhancing precision, flexibility, and control beyond the physical capabilities of the human hand. The company's cornerstone product allows surgeons to perform complex surgeries through small incisions, which can lead to quicker patient recovery, reduced hospital stays, and lower complication rates. Before any of that matters to a Muslim investor, one question comes first: is Intuitive Surgical stock Halal?
Is Intuitive Surgical Shariah compliant?
Healthcare rarely troubles the activity screen; treating illness is permissible work. For Intuitive Surgical, 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 Intuitive Surgical pass the business activity test?
Yes. In the September 2026 screening Intuitive Surgical 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 Intuitive Surgical's income Halal?
Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. Intuitive Surgical'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 100% tells holders of ISRG what share of each dividend to keep and what remainder to donate to charity.
Does Intuitive Surgical 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 ISRG re-screened every month, and the result above always shows the latest verdict.
