Is Maps (MAPS) stock Halal?
September 2026 AAOIFI screening result for Maps SpA (MAPS): non-permissible income, pass. Interest-bearing investments, pass. Interest-bearing debt, fail. Preference shares, pass. Maps SpA is not currently Shariah compliant. Re-screened monthly against AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21.
Maps specializes in providing software and services tailored for the cannabis industry. It operates Weedmaps, an online directory connecting consumers with information regarding dispensaries, brands, and cannabis products. The platform plays a crucial role in enhancing market transparency by offering key insights, retail listings, and educational content aimed at informing consumers and empowering businesses within the cannabis sector. Before any of that matters to a Muslim investor, one question comes first: is Maps stock Halal?
Is Maps Shariah compliant?
The Shariah case on a technology company like Maps 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 Maps pass the business activity test?
The activity screen is only part of the picture this month: Maps currently fails the interest-bearing debt 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 Maps' income Halal?
Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. Maps' income from non-permissible sources stays below 5% of revenue in the September 2026 screening.
Does Maps meet AAOIFI's debt and investment ratio requirements?
Not in full. Interest bearing debt currently exceeds 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.
