Is AMAZON COM INC (AMZN) stock halal?
Below the AAOIFI thresholds (debt, investments, impermissible income): admitted, with purification. The strict view excludes it.
This verdict follows the median view, that of AAOIFI Standard No. 21. It is based on the financial statements for the fiscal year ended 12/31/2025.
The ratios
| Criterion | Measure | Threshold | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Interest-bearing debt | 3.3% of market capitalization | 30% | within threshold |
| Interest-bearing investments | 5.8% of market capitalization | 30% | within threshold |
| Impermissible income | 0.6% of revenue | 5% | within threshold |
Standard: AAOIFI, Standard No. 21.
Margin to threshold and trend
| Item | Ratio (fiscal year end) | Threshold (AAOIFI, Standard No. 21) | Margin | Change since year end | Estimated ratio |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Interest-bearing debt | 3.3% | 30% | 26.7% | +92.4% | 6.3% |
| Interest-bearing investments | 5.8% | 30% | 24.2% | 0% | 5.8% |
Change read from the quarterly financial statements filed with the SEC (form 10-Q ended 06/30/2026, 2 quarters after fiscal year end), with the same reader on both dates. The estimated ratio applies this change to the annual ratio, with market capitalization unchanged: it is an estimate, not a verdict. "On watch" flags a permitted company whose estimated ratio reaches the threshold, or is within 5 points of the threshold and rising. This is neither a forecast nor advice.
The three views
- Median view, our reference : the company is admitted, provided the gains are purified.
- Strictest view : the company is excluded, because it borrows or invests at interest.
- Most lenient view : the company is admitted (Al Rajhi, Albilad Capital).
