Knowles is a leading provider of micro-acoustic microphones and balanced armature speakers, regularly utilized in mobile handsets, tablets, and personal electronics. Renowned for its expertise in audio processing, Knowles also develops hearing health technologies that support hearing aid devices and various sophisticated hearing-enhancement solutions. This corporation serves not only consumer electronics markets but also takes a significant role in advancing performance in automotive and industrial applications where robust audio solutions are vital. Before any of that matters to a Muslim investor, one question comes first: is Knowles stock Halal?
Is Knowles Shariah compliant?
The Shariah case on a technology company like Knowles 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 Knowles pass the business activity test?
Yes. In the September 2026 screening Knowles 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 Knowles' income Halal?
Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. Knowles' 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 98.89% tells holders of KN what share of each dividend to keep and what remainder to donate to charity.
Does Knowles 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 KN re-screened every month, and the result above always shows the latest verdict.
