Is LexinFintech Holdings Ltd. LX stock Halal to invest in?

No, as of September 2026, LexinFintech Holdings Ltd. stock (LX) is not currently classified as a Shariah compliant stock. This verdict follows the screening methodology of AAOIFI (the Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions), whose Shariah Standard No. 21 is the leading global benchmark for screening Halal stocks. To qualify as Halal under this standard, a company must keep non-permissible income below 5% of total revenue, keep both interest-bearing investments and interest-bearing debt below 30% of market capitalisation, and have no impermissible preference share structure. LexinFintech Holdings Ltd. currently does not meet the threshold for the non-permissible income, interest-bearing investments and interest-bearing debt screens. Because screenings are refreshed monthly as new financial reports are published, a non-compliant stock can regain compliant status if its financial structure changes. You can track the latest status of LexinFintech Holdings Ltd. and discover Shariah compliant alternatives among the Halal stocks in the Tabadulat app.

How often is LexinFintech Holdings Ltd. LX reviewed for Shariah compliance?

Tabadulat reviews LexinFintech Holdings Ltd. LX for Shariah compliance every month. Each review applies the AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 methodology, screening the company's business activities, non-permissible income, interest-bearing investments, interest-bearing debt, and preference shares, against the company's latest available financial data. The process operates under the direct supervision of Tabadulat's dedicated Shariah Supervisory Board of Islamic finance scholars. Because compliance depends on financial ratios that move with market capitalisation and reported results, a stock's status can change from one review to the next. Monthly screening ensures the status shown for LexinFintech Holdings Ltd. reflects current financial data rather than an outdated assessment, and Tabadulat app users are notified if a holding in their portfolio becomes non-compliant.

Does LexinFintech Holdings Ltd. LX pass the AAOIFI Non Permissible Income criteria?

No, as of September 2026, LexinFintech Holdings Ltd. stock (LX) does not pass the AAOIFI non-permissible income screen. Under AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21, income from impermissible sources (such as interest or Riba, conventional financial services, alcohol, gambling, or tobacco) must remain below 5% of a company's total revenue. LexinFintech Holdings Ltd.'s income from non-permissible sources currently exceeds this 5% ceiling, which makes the stock non-compliant on this criterion regardless of how it performs on the other screens. The screen is reassessed monthly, so the status can change when the company releases new financial statements.

Does LexinFintech Holdings Ltd. LX pass the AAOIFI Interest Bearing Investments criteria?

No, as of September 2026, LexinFintech Holdings Ltd. stock (LX) does not pass the AAOIFI interest-bearing investments screen. Under AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21, the cash a company places in interest-earning instruments (such as conventional deposits, bonds, treasury bills and money-market funds) must remain below 30% of its market capitalisation. LexinFintech Holdings Ltd.'s interest-bearing investments currently exceed this 30% limit, meaning too large a share of the company's value derives from Riba-based instruments for the stock to qualify as Halal on this criterion. The ratio moves with both the balance sheet and the share price, and is reassessed monthly.

Does LexinFintech Holdings Ltd. LX pass the AAOIFI Interest Bearing Debt criteria?

No, as of September 2026, LexinFintech Holdings Ltd. stock (LX) does not pass the AAOIFI interest-bearing debt screen. Under AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21, a company's borrowings that accrue interest (conventional bank loans, bonds and similar Riba-based financing) must remain below 30% of its market capitalisation. LexinFintech Holdings Ltd.'s interest-bearing debt currently exceeds this 30% limit, meaning the company relies on Riba-based financing beyond the level AAOIFI permits for a Halal investment. A company can return to compliance by reducing debt or through changes in market capitalisation, and the screen is reassessed monthly.

What is the dividend purification factor for LexinFintech Holdings Ltd. LX stock?

LexinFintech Holdings Ltd. (LX) is currently classified as not Shariah compliant, so no dividend purification factor applies, because purification factors are calculated only for stocks that pass the AAOIFI screens. Purification (Tazkiyah) is the practice of donating to charity the small portion of dividend income that stems from incidental non-permissible sources, such as interest earned on a compliant company's cash deposits. For non-compliant stocks the issue is not purification but eligibility: under AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 the stock does not currently qualify as a Halal investment. If LexinFintech Holdings Ltd. returns to compliance in a future monthly screening, its purification factor will be published alongside its updated status in the Tabadulat app.

Does LexinFintech Holdings Ltd. LX pass the AAOIFI Preference Share screen?

Yes, as of September 2026, LexinFintech Holdings Ltd. stock (LX) passes the AAOIFI preference share screen. AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 prohibits investing in preference shares because they grant holders guaranteed or priority rights to dividends and capital ahead of ordinary shareholders, a structure that conflicts with the Shariah principle that investors should share profit and loss in proportion to their ownership. LexinFintech Holdings Ltd. has no impermissible preference share structure affecting its ordinary shares, so the stock is compliant on this criterion. Like all AAOIFI screens, this is verified in each monthly review.

LexinFintech represents American Depository Receipts of a leading Chinese fintech company, Lexinfintech Holdings Ltd. The primary function of this asset is to facilitate access for international investors to invest in the shares of Lexinfintech Holdings traded on the Chinese market, by listing them on U.S. exchanges. Lexinfintech Holdings specializes in providing consumer finance services in China, with a strong focus on serving the needs of educated young adults through its technology-driven platform. For Muslim investors, though, the most pressing question is simpler: is LexinFintech a Halal investment?

Is LexinFintech Shariah compliant?

Finance is the sector where Shariah screening does the most work, because Riba is not incidental here, it can be the product itself. LexinFintech passes the business activity screen only if its revenue comes from permissible services rather than lending at interest, and the financial screens of AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 still apply in full.

Does LexinFintech pass the business activity test?

The activity screen is only part of the picture this month: LexinFintech currently fails the non-permissible income, interest-bearing investments and interest-bearing debt screens, so the overall verdict is not compliant regardless of the business itself. The watch item in this sector is the sharpest of all: revenue must come from permissible services, not from lending at interest.

Is LexinFintech's income Halal?

No. LexinFintech'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 LexinFintech meet AAOIFI's debt and investment ratio requirements?

No. Both ratios currently breach the 30% caps: interest bearing investments and interest bearing debt each exceed the limit AAOIFI permits for a Halal investment. The ratios move with the share price as well as the balance sheet, and our Shariah Supervisory Board has LX re-screened every month.
