Is Krystal Biotech (KRYS) stock Halal?
September 2026 AAOIFI screening result for Krystal Biotech, Inc. (KRYS): non-permissible income, fail. Interest-bearing investments, pass. Interest-bearing debt, pass. Preference shares, pass. Krystal Biotech, Inc. is not currently Shariah compliant. Re-screened monthly against AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21.
Krystal Biotech is a biotechnology company primarily focused on developing and commercializing gene therapy products for patients with rare dermatological conditions. Its innovative platform harnesses gene delivery technology to address unmet medical needs by developing a pipeline of products aimed at treating genetic skin diseases. Krystal Biotech’s key asset is its proprietary STAR-D platform, which allows for the non-viral delivery of therapeutic genes directly into the skin. Before any of that matters to a Muslim investor, one question comes first: is Krystal Biotech stock Halal?
Is Krystal Biotech Shariah compliant?
The Shariah case on a technology company like Krystal Biotech 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 Krystal Biotech pass the business activity test?
The activity screen is only part of the picture this month: Krystal Biotech currently fails the non-permissible income screen, 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 Krystal Biotech's income Halal?
No. Krystal Biotech's income from impermissible sources currently exceeds AAOIFI's 5% revenue ceiling, which makes the stock non-compliant on this screen regardless of the others. The screen is reassessed monthly, so the status can change when new financial statements arrive.
Does Krystal Biotech 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 KRYS re-screened every month, and the result above always shows the latest verdict.
