Is Pinterest (PINS) 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. Pinterest, Inc. (PINS) passes all four screens as of September 2026, with a dividend purification factor of 99.38%.
Pinterest is a social media and visual discovery company that operates a platform where users discover, organize, and share ideas through curated image and video “pins.” The company’s primary purpose is to help individuals plan and visualize projects and interests across areas such as home décor, fashion, food, travel, and lifestyle. For Muslim investors, though, the most pressing question is simpler: is Pinterest a Halal investment?
Is Pinterest Shariah compliant?
Media and platform businesses sit closer to the activity screen than most: advertising, content and app ecosystems can carry impermissible elements, and AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 tolerates them only below 5% of revenue. For Pinterest, that is where the screening attention goes first, before the debt ratios.
Does Pinterest pass the business activity test?
Yes. In the September 2026 screening Pinterest holds an overall PASS, which a stock only earns when its core business clears the activity screen. The watch item is content: advertising and programming can include impermissible material, which AAOIFI treats as incidental only below the 5% revenue ceiling.
Is Pinterest's income Halal?
Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. Pinterest'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 99.38% tells holders of PINS what share of each dividend to keep and what remainder to donate to charity.
Does Pinterest 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 PINS re-screened every month, and the result above always shows the latest verdict.
