HALAL — SCREEN DOES NOT PASSstock

Is APD Halal?

Industrial gases — same as Linde. Permissible.

What You Should Know

Air Products supplies industrial gases, equipment and related engineering services. Its March 31, 2026 filing reports debt/assets of 42.64%, liquidity/assets of 2.28% and receivables plus cash/assets of 6.94%; the debt ratio exceeds the examined 33% asset-based limits. Gross interest income is not separately disclosed and customer end-use revenue is not allocated into a universal prohibited-revenue numerator.

⚠️ Concerns

  • Debt/assets is 42.64% and fails the examined FTSE, MSCI and Malaysia asset-based debt limits
  • The filing includes consolidated variable-interest-entity balances; non-recourse treatment can differ by methodology
  • Hydrogen, industrial, defense and energy customer end uses require qualitative review
  • Gross interest income is not separately disclosed

No licensed historical market-cap series is stored; the consolidated asset-based screens fail on debt/assets.

Business-activity disclosure

Air Products supplies industrial gases, equipment and engineering services. The core activity is generally permissible, while hydrogen, energy, defense and customer end-use questions require qualitative diligence.

Limitation: The filing does not allocate revenue into a universal prohibited-revenue numerator by customer end use, contract or project.

Purification

Gross interest income is not separately disclosed and business-category revenue remains incomplete; no fixed purification percentage is prescribed.

Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
  • Amounts are USD millions from Air Products' March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q and rounded to one decimal where the filing reports decimals.
  • Debt is short-term borrowings of $314.4 million, current long-term debt of $173.5 million, long-term debt of $17,086.6 million and related-party long-term debt of $183.3 million; operating lease liabilities are excluded.
  • Cash is $951.0 million and no separate interest-bearing securities balance is identified at the period end.
  • Trade receivables are $1,937.7 million and quarterly sales are $3,171.8 million.
  • The consolidated filing includes variable-interest-entity balances; non-recourse treatment can differ by methodology, so the reported consolidated debt input is shown transparently.
  • Gross interest income and a universal prohibited-revenue numerator are not separately disclosed.

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.
