Is Kelly Services (KELYA) stock Halal?
As of the September 2026 screening, Kelly Services, Inc. (KELYA) 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 99.95%. The stock is re-screened every month.
Kelly Services is a global provider of workforce solutions and staffing services. The company's primary function is to connect skilled professionals with organizations that require temporary, temporary-to-hire, or permanent staffing solutions across various industries. With its extensive reach, Kelly Services plays a critical role in addressing workforce needs in sectors such as education, engineering, healthcare, and information technology. For Muslim investors, though, the most pressing question is simpler: is Kelly Services a Halal investment?
Is Kelly Services Shariah compliant?
For industrial companies like Kelly Services, the product is rarely the problem; aircraft, vehicles and machinery are permissible. The exposure is leverage: fleets and factories are financed, and the 30% cap that AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 places on interest bearing debt is the screen that decides most verdicts in this sector.
Does Kelly Services pass the business activity test?
Yes. In the September 2026 screening Kelly Services holds an overall PASS, which a stock only earns when its core business clears the activity screen. The activity itself raises no Shariah objection; the scrutiny belongs to the financing.
Is Kelly Services' income Halal?
Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. Kelly Services' 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 99.95% tells holders of KELYA what share of each dividend to keep and what remainder to donate to charity.
Does Kelly Services 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 KELYA re-screened every month, and the result above always shows the latest verdict.
