Is Roku (ROKU) stock Halal?
September 2026 AAOIFI screening result for Roku, Inc. (ROKU): non-permissible income, fail. Interest-bearing investments, pass. Interest-bearing debt, pass. Preference shares, pass. Roku, Inc. is not currently Shariah compliant. Re-screened monthly against AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21.
Roku is a leading technology company specializing in streaming platform solutions that enable users to access, discover, and enjoy digital entertainment content. The company's primary function revolves around designing and manufacturing devices such as streaming players and smart TVs that aggregate content from a wide range of streaming services, providing seamless access to both free and paid entertainment. Before any of that matters to a Muslim investor, one question comes first: is Roku stock Halal?
Is Roku Shariah compliant?
For a company like Roku, the first question AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 asks is about content and advertising: platform businesses can carry impermissible elements, and the standard tolerates them only as incidental income below 5% of revenue. Only then do the financial ratios come into play.
Does Roku pass the business activity test?
The activity screen is only part of the picture this month: Roku currently fails the non-permissible income screen, so the overall verdict is not compliant regardless of the business itself. The watch item is content: advertising and programming can include impermissible material, which AAOIFI treats as incidental only below the 5% revenue ceiling.
Is Roku's income Halal?
No. Roku's 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 Roku 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 ROKU re-screened every month, and the result above always shows the latest verdict.
