Is Park National (PRK) stock Halal?
Park National Corp. (PRK) is not Shariah compliant in the September 2026 AAOIFI screening: it fails the non-permissible income screen. Tabadulat re-screens PRK monthly, and a stock can return to compliance when new financial reports change its ratios.
Park National is a financial holding company that operates primarily in the banking sector. Its main purpose is to provide a broad range of financial services through its subsidiaries, primarily focusing on traditional banking functions. These services include personal and business banking, mortgage and loan services, investment management, and trust services. Park National Corporation serves a diverse customer base, including individual consumers, small to medium-sized businesses, and larger corporations. Before any of that matters to a Muslim investor, one question comes first: is Park National stock Halal?
Is Park National 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 Park National, that distinction comes first, with the debt and investment ratios behind it.
Does Park National pass the business activity test?
The activity screen is only part of the picture this month: Park National currently fails the non-permissible income 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 Park National's income Halal?
No. Park National's income from impermissible sources currently exceeds AAOIFI's 5% revenue ceiling, which makes the stock non-compliant on this screen regardless of the others. The screen is reassessed monthly, so the status can change when new financial statements arrive.
Does Park National 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 PRK re-screened every month, and the result above always shows the latest verdict.
