Is Alphabet / Google (GOOGL) halal?
Permissible with conditions
Read our methodology and editorial policy.
Short answer
Alphabet's advertising, cloud, and YouTube businesses are permissible activities. The company carries minimal debt and most screening services rate GOOGL compliant in 2026 with comfortable headroom.
The reasoning
No prohibited-sector exposure on the activity screen.
Alphabet's balance sheet is low-debt and its interest income share is small. Compliance is usually stable but should be re-verified.
Conditions
- Verify current compliance before buying.
- Cash account only.
- Apply purification on dividends and gains.
