Is State Street (STT) stock Halal?
September 2026 AAOIFI screening result for State Street Corp. (STT): non-permissible income, fail. Interest-bearing investments, pass. Interest-bearing debt, fail. Preference shares, pass. State Street Corp. is not currently Shariah compliant. Re-screened monthly against AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21.
State Street is a global financial services and bank holding company recognized for its pivotal role in supporting institutional investors. Established in 1792, State Street has evolved into one of the world’s largest asset managers and custody banks. The company specializes in offering investment servicing, investment management, and investment research to a diverse clientele that includes mutual funds, pension funds, insurance companies, asset managers, and sovereign funds. Before any of that matters to a Muslim investor, one question comes first: is State Street stock Halal?
Is State Street Shariah compliant?
In financial services the activity screen carries the verdict more often than anywhere else: AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 draws a hard line between fee based, permissible services and earning Riba as a business model. For State Street, that distinction comes first, with the debt and investment ratios behind it.
Does State Street pass the business activity test?
The activity screen is only part of the picture this month: State Street currently fails the non-permissible income and interest-bearing debt screens, 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 State Street's income Halal?
No. State Street'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 State Street 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.
