Is Robinhood Markets (HOOD) 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. Robinhood Markets, Inc. (HOOD) does not meet the threshold for the non-permissible income screen as of September 2026, so it is not Shariah compliant.
Robinhood Markets is a financial technology company that primarily offers commission-free trading of stocks, ETFs, and cryptocurrencies through its innovative mobile application and web platform. By disrupting traditional brokerage norms, it has encouraged active participation in financial markets, significantly impacting the fintech sector. Robinhood's platform is known for its user-friendly interface, which simplifies the trading process for all levels of investors. Besides equities and cryptocurrencies, Robinhood also facilitates options and cash management services. For Muslim investors, though, the most pressing question is simpler: is Robinhood Markets a Halal investment?
Is Robinhood Markets Shariah compliant?
Finance is the sector where Shariah screening does the most work, because Riba is not incidental here, it can be the product itself. Robinhood Markets passes the business activity screen only if its revenue comes from permissible services rather than lending at interest, and the financial screens of AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 still apply in full.
Does Robinhood Markets pass the business activity test?
The activity screen is only part of the picture this month: Robinhood Markets 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 Robinhood Markets' income Halal?
No. Robinhood Markets' 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 Robinhood Markets 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 HOOD re-screened every month, and the result above always shows the latest verdict.
