Zoom Communications is a leading technology company specializing in virtual communication solutions. Renowned for its video conferencing software, Zoom enables seamless virtual meetings, webinars, and remote collaboration across various devices and platforms. Its primary purpose is to facilitate communication and connectivity for individuals, businesses, and institutions, significantly impacting sectors like education, corporate, healthcare, and government services. Zoom has become integral in supporting remote work environments and distance learning, providing tools for video calls, virtual events, and team chats. Before any of that matters to a Muslim investor, one question comes first: is Zoom Communications stock Halal?
Is Zoom Communications Shariah compliant?
The Shariah case on a technology company like Zoom Communications 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 Zoom Communications pass the business activity test?
Yes. In the September 2026 screening Zoom Communications 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 Zoom Communications' income Halal?
Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. Zoom Communications' 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 95.19% tells holders of ZM what share of each dividend to keep and what remainder to donate to charity.
Does Zoom Communications 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 ZM re-screened every month, and the result above always shows the latest verdict.
