Is Skillsoft Corp. SKIL stock Halal to invest in?

No, as of September 2026, Skillsoft Corp. stock (SKIL) is not currently classified as a Shariah compliant stock. This verdict follows the screening methodology of AAOIFI (the Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions), whose Shariah Standard No. 21 is the leading global benchmark for screening Halal stocks. To qualify as Halal under this standard, a company must keep non-permissible income below 5% of total revenue, keep both interest-bearing investments and interest-bearing debt below 30% of market capitalisation, and have no impermissible preference share structure. Skillsoft Corp. currently does not meet the threshold for the interest-bearing investments and interest-bearing debt screens. Because screenings are refreshed monthly as new financial reports are published, a non-compliant stock can regain compliant status if its financial structure changes. You can track the latest status of Skillsoft Corp. and discover Shariah compliant alternatives among the Halal stocks in the Tabadulat app.

How often is Skillsoft Corp. SKIL reviewed for Shariah compliance?

Tabadulat reviews Skillsoft Corp. SKIL for Shariah compliance every month. Each review applies the AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 methodology, screening the company's business activities, non-permissible income, interest-bearing investments, interest-bearing debt, and preference shares, against the company's latest available financial data. The process operates under the direct supervision of Tabadulat's dedicated Shariah Supervisory Board of Islamic finance scholars. Because compliance depends on financial ratios that move with market capitalisation and reported results, a stock's status can change from one review to the next. Monthly screening ensures the status shown for Skillsoft Corp. reflects current financial data rather than an outdated assessment, and Tabadulat app users are notified if a holding in their portfolio becomes non-compliant.

Does Skillsoft Corp. SKIL pass the AAOIFI Non Permissible Income criteria?

Yes, as of September 2026, Skillsoft Corp. stock (SKIL) passes the AAOIFI non-permissible income screen. In practice this screen asks a simple question: how much of the company's revenue comes from sources Islam prohibits, such as Riba, conventional financial services, alcohol, gambling or tobacco? AAOIFI allows at most 5%, and Skillsoft Corp. stays below that line this month. Even permissible levels of incidental impure income should still be purified: investors donate the corresponding share of dividends to charity, as reflected in the stock's purification factor. This screen is reassessed monthly using the company's latest financial disclosures.

Does Skillsoft Corp. SKIL pass the AAOIFI Interest Bearing Investments criteria?

No, as of September 2026, Skillsoft Corp. stock (SKIL) does not pass the AAOIFI interest-bearing investments screen. Under AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21, the cash a company places in interest-earning instruments (such as conventional deposits, bonds, treasury bills and money-market funds) must remain below 30% of its market capitalisation. Skillsoft Corp.'s interest-bearing investments currently exceed this 30% limit, meaning too large a share of the company's value derives from Riba-based instruments for the stock to qualify as Halal on this criterion. The ratio moves with both the balance sheet and the share price, and is reassessed monthly.

Does Skillsoft Corp. SKIL pass the AAOIFI Interest Bearing Debt criteria?

No, as of September 2026, Skillsoft Corp. stock (SKIL) does not pass the AAOIFI interest-bearing debt screen. Under AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21, a company's borrowings that accrue interest (conventional bank loans, bonds and similar Riba-based financing) must remain below 30% of its market capitalisation. Skillsoft Corp.'s interest-bearing debt currently exceeds this 30% limit, meaning the company relies on Riba-based financing beyond the level AAOIFI permits for a Halal investment. A company can return to compliance by reducing debt or through changes in market capitalisation, and the screen is reassessed monthly.

What is the dividend purification factor for Skillsoft Corp. SKIL stock?

Skillsoft Corp. (SKIL) is currently classified as not Shariah compliant, so no dividend purification factor applies, because purification factors are calculated only for stocks that pass the AAOIFI screens. Purification (Tazkiyah) is the practice of donating to charity the small portion of dividend income that stems from incidental non-permissible sources, such as interest earned on a compliant company's cash deposits. For non-compliant stocks the issue is not purification but eligibility: under AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 the stock does not currently qualify as a Halal investment. If Skillsoft Corp. returns to compliance in a future monthly screening, its purification factor will be published alongside its updated status in the Tabadulat app.

Does Skillsoft Corp. SKIL pass the AAOIFI Preference Share screen?

Yes, as of September 2026, Skillsoft Corp. stock (SKIL) passes the AAOIFI preference share screen. AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 prohibits investing in preference shares because they grant holders guaranteed or priority rights to dividends and capital ahead of ordinary shareholders, a structure that conflicts with the Shariah principle that investors should share profit and loss in proportion to their ownership. Skillsoft Corp. has no impermissible preference share structure affecting its ordinary shares, so the stock is compliant on this criterion. Like all AAOIFI screens, this is verified in each monthly review.

Skillsoft's platforms encompass extensive libraries of high-quality online content, including courses, digital books, and videos, strategically targeting sectors such as IT, business, leadership, and compliance. Before any of that matters to a Muslim investor, one question comes first: is Skillsoft stock Halal?

Is Skillsoft Shariah compliant?

Consumer staples companies like Skillsoft face the screening question at the shelf, not the balance sheet: does any revenue come from alcohol, tobacco or other impermissible lines? AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 tolerates such income only below 5% of revenue, with the financial ratios checked behind it.

Does Skillsoft pass the business activity test?

The activity screen is only part of the picture this month: Skillsoft currently fails the interest-bearing investments and interest-bearing debt screens, so the overall verdict is not compliant regardless of the business itself. The watch item is the product mix: any alcohol, tobacco or similar lines count against the 5% ceiling.

Is Skillsoft's income Halal?

Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. Skillsoft's income from non-permissible sources stays below 5% of revenue in the September 2026 screening.

Does Skillsoft meet AAOIFI's debt and investment ratio requirements?

No. Both ratios currently breach the 30% caps: interest bearing investments and interest bearing debt each exceed the limit AAOIFI permits for a Halal investment. The ratios move with the share price as well as the balance sheet, and our Shariah Supervisory Board has SKIL re-screened every month.
