Is Research Solutions (RSSS) stock Halal?
Research Solutions, Inc. (RSSS) is Shariah compliant in the September 2026 AAOIFI screening, passing all four AAOIFI screens. Dividends are purified using a factor of 100%. Tabadulat re-screens RSSS monthly, and the status can change when new financial data arrives.
Research Solutions operates within the scientific research sector as a developer and provider of tools facilitating access to research articles and data. Its primary function is to streamline the retrieval process of scientific literature, aiding research and development in various industries. This is achieved through cloud-based software solutions that enhance workflow efficiency for research-focused organizations, including academic institutions, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology firms, and engineering companies. Before any of that matters to a Muslim investor, one question comes first: is Research Solutions stock Halal?
Is Research Solutions Shariah compliant?
The Shariah case on a technology company like Research Solutions is rarely about the product. What AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 examines is the money around the product: cash parked in instruments that earn Riba, borrowing measured against a market capitalisation that moves daily, and any incidental income from sources Islam prohibits, which must stay below 5% of revenue.
Does Research Solutions pass the business activity test?
Yes. In the September 2026 screening Research Solutions holds an overall PASS, which a stock only earns when its core business clears the activity screen. The watch item for technology names is incidental: cash returns and platform content can carry impermissible elements, which AAOIFI tolerates only below the thresholds.
Is Research Solutions' income Halal?
Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. Research Solutions' 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 100% tells holders of RSSS what share of each dividend to keep and what remainder to donate to charity.
Does Research Solutions 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 RSSS re-screened every month, and the result above always shows the latest verdict.
