Is Theriva Biologics (TOVX) stock Halal?
Theriva Biologics, Inc. (TOVX) is not Shariah compliant in the September 2026 AAOIFI screening: it fails the non-permissible income and interest-bearing investments screens. Tabadulat re-screens TOVX monthly, and a stock can return to compliance when new financial reports change its ratios.
Theriva Biologics is a clinical-stage immuno-oncology company specializing in the development of oncolytic virus therapeutics aimed at treating cancer and related diseases with high unmet medical needs. Its innovative approach involves engineered oncolytic adenoviruses designed to selectively replicate within and destroy tumor cells while overcoming the physical and immunosuppressive barriers that hinder current cancer treatments. Before any of that matters to a Muslim investor, one question comes first: is Theriva Biologics stock Halal?
Is Theriva Biologics Shariah compliant?
The Shariah case on a technology company like Theriva Biologics 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 Theriva Biologics pass the business activity test?
The activity screen is only part of the picture this month: Theriva Biologics currently fails the non-permissible income and interest-bearing investments screens, 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 Theriva Biologics' income Halal?
No. Theriva Biologics' 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 Theriva Biologics meet AAOIFI's debt and investment ratio requirements?
Not in full. Interest bearing investments currently exceed 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.
