Is Senti Biosciences (SNTI) 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. Senti Biosciences Holdings, Inc. (SNTI) does not meet the threshold for the non-permissible income screen as of September 2026, so it is not Shariah compliant.
Senti Biosciences is a pioneering biotechnology company focused on the development of next-generation cell and gene therapies. Leveraging synthetic biology, the company engineers novel therapies aimed at treating a range of complex diseases, particularly those within oncology. Senti Biosciences is dedicated to advancing medicines that have the potential to fundamentally change treatment paradigms by enhancing efficacy, safety, and precision. For Muslim investors, though, the most pressing question is simpler: is Senti Biosciences a Halal investment?
Is Senti Biosciences Shariah compliant?
Technology companies rarely fail AAOIFI screening on what they sell. Software, hardware and digital services are permissible business activities, so for a company like Senti Biosciences the Shariah question moves to the balance sheet: how much of its market value sits in interest bearing debt, how much of its cash earns Riba in conventional deposits, and whether incidental income from impermissible sources creeps past 5% of revenue. These are exactly the ratios AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 polices, and they move every month with the share price.
Does Senti Biosciences pass the business activity test?
The activity screen is only part of the picture this month: Senti Biosciences currently fails the non-permissible income screen, so the overall verdict is not compliant regardless of the business itself. 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 Senti Biosciences' income Halal?
No. Senti Biosciences' 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 Senti Biosciences 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 SNTI re-screened every month, and the result above always shows the latest verdict.
