Is Monster Beverage (MNST) stock Halal?
Under AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21, a Halal stock keeps non-permissible income below 5% of revenue and interest-bearing debt and investments each below 30% of market capitalisation. Monster Beverage Corp. (MNST) passes all four screens as of September 2026, with a dividend purification factor of 97%.
Monster Beverage is a prominent company specializing in the creation and distribution of energy drinks. Known for its iconic Monster Energy brand, the corporation produces a diverse array of beverages targeted towards consumers seeking enhanced energy and focus. Monster Beverage plays a crucial role in the global energy drink market, offering products that cater to the tastes and preferences of both athletes and everyday individuals. For Muslim investors, though, the most pressing question is simpler: is Monster Beverage a Halal investment?
Is Monster Beverage Shariah compliant?
Food, household goods and everyday retail are permissible activities, with one watch item: incidental revenue from alcohol, tobacco or conventional financial services must stay below the 5% ceiling of AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21. For Monster Beverage, that is usually the screen worth reading first.
Does Monster Beverage pass the business activity test?
Yes. In the September 2026 screening Monster Beverage holds an overall PASS, which a stock only earns when its core business clears the activity screen. The watch item is the product mix: any alcohol, tobacco or similar lines count against the 5% ceiling.
Is Monster Beverage's income Halal?
Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. Monster Beverage's 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 97% tells holders of MNST what share of each dividend to keep and what remainder to donate to charity.
Does Monster Beverage 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 MNST re-screened every month, and the result above always shows the latest verdict.
