Is NiSource (NI) stock Halal?
September 2026 AAOIFI screening result for NiSource, Inc. (NI): non-permissible income, pass. Interest-bearing investments, pass. Interest-bearing debt, fail. Preference shares, pass. NiSource, Inc. is not currently Shariah compliant. Re-screened monthly against AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21.
NiSource is a leading fully regulated utility company specializing in the distribution of natural gas and electric energy across six U.S. states, including Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia. NiSource’s business model centers on modernization and expansion of utility infrastructure to ensure reliable, affordable, and resilient energy delivery, while integrating environmentally responsible practices and technologies. Before any of that matters to a Muslim investor, one question comes first: is NiSource stock Halal?
Is NiSource 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 NiSource, that distinction comes first, with the debt and investment ratios behind it.
Does NiSource pass the business activity test?
The activity screen is only part of the picture this month: NiSource currently fails the interest-bearing debt screen, 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 NiSource's income Halal?
Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. NiSource's income from non-permissible sources stays below 5% of revenue in the September 2026 screening.
Does NiSource 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.
