Is Travelzoo (TZOO) stock Halal?
As of the September 2026 screening, Travelzoo Inc. (TZOO) meets every AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 requirement: non-permissible income, interest-bearing investments and interest-bearing debt all sit within the thresholds, and there is no impermissible preference share structure. The dividend purification factor is 100%. The stock is re-screened every month.
Travelzoo is a global media commerce company that provides exclusive deals and experiences for travelers. Through its website, newsletters, and mobile applications, Travelzoo curates travel, entertainment, and local offers from a wide range of partners, including hotels, airlines, and tour operators. The company's primary function is to serve as an intermediary that helps consumers discover and access high-quality travel services at competitive prices. For Muslim investors, though, the most pressing question is simpler: is Travelzoo a Halal investment?
Is Travelzoo Shariah compliant?
Media and platform businesses sit closer to the activity screen than most: advertising, content and app ecosystems can carry impermissible elements, and AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 tolerates them only below 5% of revenue. For Travelzoo, that is where the screening attention goes first, before the debt ratios.
Does Travelzoo pass the business activity test?
Yes. In the September 2026 screening Travelzoo holds an overall PASS, which a stock only earns when its core business clears the activity screen. The watch item is content: advertising and programming can include impermissible material, which AAOIFI treats as incidental only below the 5% revenue ceiling.
Is Travelzoo's income Halal?
Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. Travelzoo's income from non-permissible sources stays below 5% of revenue in the September 2026 screening, and the small impure portion is handled through purification: the factor of 100% tells holders of TZOO what share of each dividend to keep and what remainder to donate to charity.
Does Travelzoo meet AAOIFI's debt and investment ratio requirements?
Yes. Both caps hold this month: interest bearing investments and interest bearing debt each stay below 30% of market capitalisation. Because the caps move with the share price, our Shariah Supervisory Board has TZOO re-screened every month, and the result above always shows the latest verdict.
