Is Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD) stock Halal?

Toronto-Dominion Bank is a major Canadian multinational financial institution, recognized as one of Canada’s largest banks by assets and a top banking group in North America. Its core function is to provide a comprehensive range of banking and financial services to individuals, businesses, and institutions, including personal and commercial banking, wealth management, insurance, and wholesale banking. For Muslim investors, though, the most pressing question is simpler: is Toronto-Dominion Bank a Halal investment?

Is Toronto-Dominion Bank Shariah compliant?

Finance is the sector where Shariah screening does the most work, because Riba is not incidental here, it can be the product itself. Toronto-Dominion Bank passes the business activity screen only if its revenue comes from permissible services rather than lending at interest, and the financial screens of AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 still apply in full.

Does Toronto-Dominion Bank pass the business activity test?

The activity screen is only part of the picture this month: Toronto-Dominion Bank 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 Toronto-Dominion Bank's income Halal?

No. Toronto-Dominion Bank'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 Toronto-Dominion Bank 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.
