Is Levi Strauss (LEVI) stock Halal?
As of the September 2026 screening, Levi Strauss & Co. (LEVI) 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 100%. The stock is re-screened every month.
Levi Strauss is a globally recognized name in the apparel industry, known for its iconic denim jeans. The company designs, markets, and sells a wide array of casual and lifestyle clothing for men, women, and children under its Levi's®, Dockers®, Signature by Levi Strauss & Co.™, and Denizen® brands. With its headquarters in San Francisco, California, Levi Strauss & Co. operates in various markets through its expansive retail network, e-commerce platforms, and collaborations with third-party distributors. For Muslim investors, though, the most pressing question is simpler: is Levi Strauss a Halal investment?
Is Levi Strauss Shariah compliant?
For industrial companies like Levi Strauss, 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 Levi Strauss pass the business activity test?
Yes. In the September 2026 screening Levi Strauss 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 Levi Strauss' income Halal?
Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. Levi Strauss' 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 100% tells holders of LEVI what share of each dividend to keep and what remainder to donate to charity.
Does Levi Strauss 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 LEVI re-screened every month, and the result above always shows the latest verdict.
