Is Ten-League International (TLIH) stock Halal?

Ten-League International is a Singapore-based company specializing in turnkey project solutions within the industrial and infrastructure sectors. Before any of that matters to a Muslim investor, one question comes first: is Ten-League International stock Halal?

Is Ten-League International Shariah compliant?

No. In the October 2026 screening Ten-League International (TLIH) does not pass AAOIFI screening: it fails the interest-bearing investments and interest-bearing debt screens. Industrial businesses like Ten-League International usually pass the activity screen without drama. The harder test is financial: heavy assets mean heavy financing, and AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 tolerates interest bearing debt and investments only below 30% of market capitalisation, ratios that shift with every move in the share price.

Does Ten-League International pass the business activity test?

The activity screen is only part of the picture this month: Ten-League International currently fails the interest-bearing investments and interest-bearing debt screens, so the overall verdict is not compliant regardless of the business itself. The activity itself raises no Shariah objection; the scrutiny belongs to the financing.

Is Ten-League International's income Halal?

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

Does Ten-League International meet AAOIFI's debt and investment ratio requirements?

No. Both ratios currently breach the 30% caps, measured against a market capitalisation of $16.8M (market data as of 1 October 2026): 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 TLIH re-screened every month.

Why do other halal screeners show a different verdict for Ten-League International?

Screeners can disagree without either being wrong. AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21, which Tabadulat applies, measures interest bearing debt and investments against market capitalisation with a 30% ceiling. MSCI and FTSE measure them against total assets with a 33% ceiling, and S&P and Dow Jones Islamic use a multi year average of market capitalisation. Data dates differ too, because each provider reads filings and prices on its own schedule. The same company can therefore pass one standard and fail another in the same month. Tabadulat publishes one answer, the AAOIFI result as of October 2026, and re-screens it every month.
