DOUBTFUL — METHODS DIFFERstock

Is AON Halal?

Insurance, reinsurance and investment services require methodology-dependent review.

What You Should Know

Aon's March 31, 2026 filing shows debt/assets of 28.51%, liquidity/assets of 2.75%, receivables plus cash/assets of 12.19% and disclosed interest income/revenue of 0.24%. Its insurance, reinsurance, retirement and investment services raise gharar and riba questions that the filing does not allocate into a universal prohibited-revenue numerator.

⚠️ Concerns

  • Conventional insurance and reinsurance involve gharar concerns under many scholarly approaches
  • Investment-management and retirement products can include interest-bearing instruments
  • No reproducible prohibited-activity revenue allocation is disclosed
  • Financial ratios pass the examined asset-based screens, but business classification remains incomplete

Overall
Incomplete

A licensed historical market-cap series is not stored, and business classification remains incomplete, so market-cap methods are not estimated from a current spot price.

Business-activity disclosure

Aon brokers insurance and reinsurance and provides retirement, investment-management, risk and human-capital services. Risk and advisory work can be permissible, but conventional insurance, reinsurance and investment products raise gharar and riba questions that require scholar- and product-level review.

Limitation: The filing does not allocate revenue into a universal prohibited-activity numerator for conventional insurance, reinsurance, investment-management and retirement products, so no exact prohibited-revenue percentage is asserted.

Purification

Aon discloses $12 million of interest income but does not prescribe a scholar-approved purification percentage; the disclosed ratio is evidence for the income screen, not a complete purification prescription.

Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
  • Amounts are USD millions from Aon's March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q and rounded to the nearest million.
  • Debt includes $1,121 million of short-term/current debt and $13,542 million of long-term debt; operating leases are excluded.
  • Cash is $1,178 million and separately identified short-term investments are $238 million.
  • Receivables, net are $5,089 million and first-quarter revenue is $5,034 million; interest income is $12 million.
  • Aon is incorporated in Ireland and files this quarterly report with the SEC; the issuer-jurisdiction flag avoids treating it as a U.S.-incorporated issuer.

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.
