Is Apple (AAPL) halal?
Permissible with conditions
Read our methodology and editorial policy.
Short answer
Apple's product business is clearly permissible. The shariah concern with Apple is the large cash pile generating interest income, which historically sits within the 5% threshold but is not zero.
The reasoning
AAPL passes the activity test. Apple Card and Apple Pay financing introduce some interest exposure but they remain a small fraction of revenue.
Most screening services classify Apple as compliant in 2026, but its ratios change with each earnings release. Treat as conditional and re-check.
Conditions
- Confirm current compliance via a screening service before buying.
- Apply the purification calculation to dividends and gains.
- Cash account only.
Red flags
- Margin
- Options on AAPL
