Is Real REMAX (REAX) stock Halal?

Real REMAX is a cutting-edge real estate services company that leverages a cloud-based brokerage platform to better serve agents and clients alike. It aims to transform the real estate process through technology and collaborative tools. The platform is designed to optimize the efficiency of real estate transactions by providing agents with comprehensive digital tools to manage listings, client interactions, and marketing strategies. For Muslim investors, though, the most pressing question is simpler: is Real REMAX a Halal investment?

Is Real REMAX Shariah compliant?

Yes. In the October 2026 screening Real REMAX (REAX) passes AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21: the business activity screen and every financial ratio screen hold. Property itself is a permissible asset, which is why real estate attracts Halal investors. The screening question for Real REMAX is how the portfolio is financed and whether rental income flows from impermissible tenants; the debt cap and the 5% income ceiling of AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 carry the verdict.

Does Real REMAX pass the business activity test?

Yes. In the October 2026 screening Real REMAX holds an overall PASS, which a stock only earns when its core business clears the activity screen. The watch item is the tenant roll: rental income from impermissible businesses counts against the 5% ceiling.

Is Real REMAX's income Halal?

Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. Real REMAX's income from non-permissible sources stays below 5% of revenue in the October 2026 screening, and the small impure portion is handled through purification: the factor of 99.62% tells holders of REAX what share of each dividend to keep and what remainder to donate to charity. On a dividend yield of around None, the purification amount is modest but real.

Does Real REMAX 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, measured against a market capitalisation of $357M (market data as of 1 October 2026). Because the caps move with the share price, our Shariah Supervisory Board has REAX re-screened every month, and the result above always shows the latest verdict.

Why do other halal screeners show a different verdict for Real REMAX?

Screeners can disagree without either being wrong. AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21, which Tabadulat applies, measures interest bearing debt and investments against market capitalisation with a 30% ceiling. MSCI and FTSE measure them against total assets with a 33% ceiling, and S&P and Dow Jones Islamic use a multi year average of market capitalisation. Data dates differ too, because each provider reads filings and prices on its own schedule. The same company can therefore pass one standard and fail another in the same month. Tabadulat publishes one answer, the AAOIFI result as of October 2026, and re-screens it every month.

Tabadulat is an ADGM regulated brokerage whose license covers Shari'a Compliant Regulated Activities, as the FSRA permission names them. New to the terminology? Gharar and Maysir, Sukuk, Zakat and purification are all explained in plain English.
