Is Lucara Diamond (LUC) stock Halal?
As of the September 2026 screening, Lucara Diamond Corp. (LUC) does not meet the AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 threshold for the interest-bearing investments and interest-bearing debt screens, so the stock is not currently classified as Shariah compliant. It is re-screened every month and can regain compliance if its financial structure changes.
Lucara Diamond is a prominent mining company that specializes in the exploration and production of high-quality diamonds. Primarily located in Botswana, Lucara operates the Karowe mine, which is renowned for yielding some of the world's largest and most valuable diamonds. The company's main objective is to efficiently extract diamond resources while upholding environmental and community standards. Lucara is influential in the luxury goods sector, as its production supports the global demand for high-end jewelry and investment-grade diamonds. For Muslim investors, though, the most pressing question is simpler: is Lucara Diamond a Halal investment?
Is Lucara Diamond Shariah compliant?
Extracting and selling oil, gas or materials is a permissible business, so companies like Lucara Diamond rarely stumble on the activity screen. The pressure point is capital structure: energy is a capital hungry industry that borrows heavily, and AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 caps interest bearing debt at 30% of market capitalisation, a line that moves as commodity cycles move the share price.
Does Lucara Diamond pass the business activity test?
The activity screen is only part of the picture this month: Lucara Diamond currently fails the interest-bearing investments and interest-bearing debt screens, so the overall verdict is not compliant regardless of the business itself. The activity itself, extracting and selling resources, raises no Shariah objection; the scrutiny belongs to the financing.
Is Lucara Diamond's income Halal?
Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. Lucara Diamond's income from non-permissible sources stays below 5% of revenue in the September 2026 screening.
Does Lucara Diamond 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 LUC re-screened every month.
