Is ResMed (RMD) stock Halal?
September 2026 AAOIFI screening result for ResMed, Inc. (RMD): non-permissible income, pass. Interest-bearing investments, pass. Interest-bearing debt, pass. Preference shares, pass. Dividend purification factor: 99.72%. Re-screened monthly against AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21.
ResMed is an innovative leader in the development and manufacturing of devices focused on improving the quality of sleep and respiratory health. Operating globally, ResMed specializes in producing advanced equipment for sleep apnea therapy, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and various respiratory conditions. The company's offerings include a range of cutting-edge products like continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) devices, bilevel systems, and ventilators, designed to enhance patient comfort and compliance. Before any of that matters to a Muslim investor, one question comes first: is ResMed stock Halal?
Is ResMed Shariah compliant?
Healthcare rarely troubles the activity screen; treating illness is permissible work. For ResMed, 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 ResMed pass the business activity test?
Yes. In the September 2026 screening ResMed holds an overall PASS, which a stock only earns when its core business clears the activity screen. Treating illness is permissible work; the scrutiny belongs to the financing behind it.
Is ResMed's income Halal?
Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. ResMed'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 99.72% tells holders of RMD what share of each dividend to keep and what remainder to donate to charity.
Does ResMed 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 RMD re-screened every month, and the result above always shows the latest verdict.
