⚠️ Concerns

- •Disclosed interest income is 0.52% of first-quarter net sales; purification treatment remains scholar-dependent
- •Abercrombie & Fitch has a history of sexualized advertising and brand imagery that some investors treat as a qualitative concern
- •Retail inventory, consumer demand and channel mix remain business risks

Business-activity disclosure
Abercrombie & Fitch designs and sells apparel, accessories and personal-care products under Abercrombie, abercrombie kids and Hollister. Apparel retail is generally permissible, but marketing conduct, product-specific activity and end-use revenue are not reduced to a universal prohibited-revenue numerator.
Limitation: The filing does not classify every product, marketing practice, licensee or customer end use by a universal Sharia category; activity remains qualitative.
Purification

Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
- Amounts are USD millions from Abercrombie & Fitch's May 2, 2026 Form 10-Q.
- The filing states that no borrowings were outstanding under the ABL Facility; operating lease liabilities are excluded.
- Cash and equivalents are $594.080 million; marketable securities are $25.144 million. Restricted cash is excluded.
- Receivables are $146.042 million; income tax receivables are excluded.
- First-quarter net sales are $1,113.821 million and disclosed gross interest income is $5.737 million, with $0.450 million of interest expense shown separately.
- Apparel, accessories and personal-care products are generally permissible, while the brand's historical sexualized marketing remains a qualitative concern.
This is a reproducible financial screen, not a fatwa. A failed total-assets screen can coexist with a pass under a market-cap methodology. ZakatInvest keeps the qualitative assessment separate so numerical thresholds do not erase material context.
