Is OraSure Technologies (OSUR) stock Halal?
September 2026 AAOIFI screening result for OraSure Technologies, Inc. (OSUR): non-permissible income, pass. Interest-bearing investments, fail. Interest-bearing debt, pass. Preference shares, pass. OraSure Technologies, Inc. is not currently Shariah compliant. Re-screened monthly against AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21.
OraSure Technologies is a biotechnology company primarily focused on developing point-of-care diagnostic testing and specimen collection devices. Known for its innovation in oral fluid diagnostics, Orasure provides critical solutions in the healthcare sector. Their product portfolio includes diagnostic tests for infectious diseases, such as HIV and Hepatitis C, leveraging easy-to-use, rapid results that are essential for timely medical interventions. Before any of that matters to a Muslim investor, one question comes first: is OraSure Technologies stock Halal?
Is OraSure Technologies Shariah compliant?
Healthcare rarely troubles the activity screen; treating illness is permissible work. For OraSure Technologies, the AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 verdict turns on the balance sheet instead: research is capital hungry, and interest bearing debt and investments must each stay below 30% of market capitalisation.
Does OraSure Technologies pass the business activity test?
The activity screen is only part of the picture this month: OraSure Technologies currently fails the interest-bearing investments screen, so the overall verdict is not compliant regardless of the business itself. Treating illness is permissible work; the scrutiny belongs to the financing behind it.
Is OraSure Technologies' income Halal?
Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. OraSure Technologies' income from non-permissible sources stays below 5% of revenue in the September 2026 screening.
Does OraSure Technologies meet AAOIFI's debt and investment ratio requirements?
Not in full. Interest bearing investments currently exceed 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.
