Is Meta Platforms (META) halal?
Permissible with conditions
Read our methodology and editorial policy.
Short answer
Meta's revenue comes overwhelmingly from advertising on Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The activity screen passes, but some scholars apply a stricter qualitative filter on platforms that host significant impermissible content.
The reasoning
On standard AAOIFI/DJIM screens, META is treated like any other tech stock — pass on activity, check financials.
Stricter scholars argue platforms whose business model normalises impermissible content fail a qualitative test even when the financial screen passes. This is a minority position.
Conditions
- Confirm current financial compliance via a screening service.
- Cash account only.
- If you follow stricter scholars on platform-content screening, avoid.
