Is loanDepot (LDI) stock Halal?
loanDepot, Inc. (LDI) is not Shariah compliant in the September 2026 AAOIFI screening: it fails the non-permissible income, interest-bearing investments and interest-bearing debt screens. Tabadulat re-screens LDI monthly, and a stock can return to compliance when new financial reports change its ratios.
loanDepot operates as a leading mortgage lender in the United States, offering customers a variety of lending services primarily focused on home finance. The company specializes in mortgage loan solutions, including home purchase loans and refinancing options, catering to a broad spectrum of borrowers. By leveraging technology, LoanDepot streamlines the loan origination process, aiming to provide a superior customer experience through a mix of digital tools and human guidance. Before any of that matters to a Muslim investor, one question comes first: is loanDepot stock Halal?
Is loanDepot Shariah compliant?
In financial services the activity screen carries the verdict more often than anywhere else: AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 draws a hard line between fee based, permissible services and earning Riba as a business model. For loanDepot, that distinction comes first, with the debt and investment ratios behind it.
Does loanDepot pass the business activity test?
The activity screen is only part of the picture this month: loanDepot 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 loanDepot's income Halal?
No. loanDepot'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 loanDepot 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 LDI re-screened every month.
