Is Socket Mobile (SCKT) stock Halal?
September 2026 AAOIFI screening result for Socket Mobile, Inc. (SCKT): non-permissible income, pass. Interest-bearing investments, pass. Interest-bearing debt, fail. Preference shares, pass. Socket Mobile, Inc. is not currently Shariah compliant. Re-screened monthly against AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21.
Socket Mobile is a technology company that specializes in providing state-of-the-art data capture and delivery solutions. Primarily, the company's products include portable barcode scanners and NFC devices that facilitate seamless communication between various computing systems and mobile applications. These products serve a critical need in speeding up and accurately capturing data across numerous industries such as retail, logistics, healthcare, and mobile point-of-sale solutions. Before any of that matters to a Muslim investor, one question comes first: is Socket Mobile stock Halal?
Is Socket Mobile Shariah compliant?
The Shariah case on a technology company like Socket Mobile is rarely about the product. What AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 examines is the money around the product: cash parked in instruments that earn Riba, borrowing measured against a market capitalisation that moves daily, and any incidental income from sources Islam prohibits, which must stay below 5% of revenue.
Does Socket Mobile pass the business activity test?
The activity screen is only part of the picture this month: Socket Mobile currently fails the interest-bearing debt 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 Socket Mobile's income Halal?
Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. Socket Mobile's income from non-permissible sources stays below 5% of revenue in the September 2026 screening.
Does Socket Mobile meet AAOIFI's debt and investment ratio requirements?
Not in full. Interest bearing debt currently exceeds the 30% cap, while the other ratio stays within it. One breach is enough to fail the screening; the ratios are reassessed monthly under our Shariah Supervisory Board.
