Is Wheaton Precious Metals Shariah compliant?

Extracting and selling oil, gas or materials is a permissible business, so companies like Wheaton Precious Metals rarely stumble on the activity screen. The pressure point is capital structure: energy is a capital hungry industry that borrows heavily, and AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 caps interest bearing debt at 30% of market capitalisation, a line that moves as commodity cycles move the share price.

Does Wheaton Precious Metals pass the business activity test?

Yes. In the September 2026 screening Wheaton Precious Metals holds an overall PASS, which a stock only earns when its core business clears the activity screen. The activity itself, extracting and selling resources, raises no Shariah objection; the scrutiny belongs to the financing.

Is Wheaton Precious Metals' income Halal?

Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. Wheaton Precious Metals' 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 99.72% tells holders of WPM what share of each dividend to keep and what remainder to donate to charity.

Does Wheaton Precious Metals 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 WPM re-screened every month, and the result above always shows the latest verdict.
