Is Twilio (TWLO) stock Halal?
Under AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21, a Halal stock keeps non-permissible income below 5% of revenue and interest-bearing debt and investments each below 30% of market capitalisation. Twilio, Inc. (TWLO) passes all four screens as of September 2026, with a dividend purification factor of 98.83%.
Twilio is a cloud communications platform company that empowers developers to build and manage software communications solutions. Known for its robust application programming interfaces (APIs), Twilio facilitates voice, messaging, video, and email functions for a myriad of applications, making communication simple and programmable. The platform serves a wide array of industries, including retail, healthcare, education, and finance, enabling these sectors to seamlessly integrate communication services into their applications. For Muslim investors, though, the most pressing question is simpler: is Twilio a Halal investment?
Is Twilio Shariah compliant?
Technology companies rarely fail AAOIFI screening on what they sell. Software, hardware and digital services are permissible business activities, so for a company like Twilio the Shariah question moves to the balance sheet: how much of its market value sits in interest bearing debt, how much of its cash earns Riba in conventional deposits, and whether incidental income from impermissible sources creeps past 5% of revenue. These are exactly the ratios AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 polices, and they move every month with the share price.
Does Twilio pass the business activity test?
Yes. In the September 2026 screening Twilio holds an overall PASS, which a stock only earns when its core business clears the activity screen. 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 Twilio's income Halal?
Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. Twilio'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 98.83% tells holders of TWLO what share of each dividend to keep and what remainder to donate to charity.
Does Twilio 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 TWLO re-screened every month, and the result above always shows the latest verdict.
