Is Latch (LTCH) stock Halal?
September 2026 AAOIFI screening result for Latch, Inc. (LTCH): non-permissible income, pass. Interest-bearing investments, fail. Interest-bearing debt, pass. Preference shares, pass. Latch, Inc. is not currently Shariah compliant. Re-screened monthly against AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21.
Latch is a technology company specializing in smart access solutions, primarily serving the multifamily residential and commercial property sectors. The company develops advanced smart locks and integrated access control systems designed to enhance security, convenience, and operational efficiency for building owners, property managers, and residents. Latch’s products combine robust hardware with cloud-based software, allowing for seamless access management, real-time monitoring, access logs, and analytics. Before any of that matters to a Muslim investor, one question comes first: is Latch stock Halal?
Is Latch Shariah compliant?
The Shariah case on a technology company like Latch 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 Latch pass the business activity test?
The activity screen is only part of the picture this month: Latch currently fails the interest-bearing investments 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 Latch's income Halal?
Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. Latch's income from non-permissible sources stays below 5% of revenue in the September 2026 screening.
Does Latch meet AAOIFI's debt and investment ratio requirements?
Not in full. Interest bearing investments currently exceed the 30% cap, while the other ratio stays within it. One breach is enough to fail the screening; the ratios are reassessed monthly under our Shariah Supervisory Board.
