Is KLA (KLAC) stock Halal?
KLA Corp. (KLAC) is Shariah compliant in the September 2026 AAOIFI screening, passing all four AAOIFI screens. Dividends are purified using a factor of 98.72%. Tabadulat re-screens KLAC monthly, and the status can change when new financial data arrives.
KLA is a leading technology company specializing in advanced process control and yield management systems for the semiconductor industry. Renowned for its innovative equipment and software solutions, KLA enables manufacturers worldwide to optimize the production of wafers, reticles, integrated circuits, packaging, and printed circuit boards. Before any of that matters to a Muslim investor, one question comes first: is KLA stock Halal?
Is KLA Shariah compliant?
The Shariah case on a technology company like KLA 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 KLA pass the business activity test?
Yes. In the September 2026 screening KLA holds an overall PASS, which a stock only earns when its core business clears the activity screen. 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 KLA's income Halal?
Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. KLA'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 98.72% tells holders of KLAC what share of each dividend to keep and what remainder to donate to charity.
Does KLA 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 KLAC re-screened every month, and the result above always shows the latest verdict.
