ASML
ASML Holding N.V.
Is ASML Halal?
Lithography-equipment core is generally permissible, with incomplete gross-interest and current-debt detail and indirect dual-use exposure.
What You Should Know
ASML makes lithography, metrology, inspection and service systems for semiconductor fabrication. Its March 29, 2026 filing reports debt/assets of 5.63%, cash plus short-term investments/assets of 17.43% and receivables plus cash/assets of 31.63%; gross interest income and any current-debt component are not separately isolated in the summary.
⚠️ Concerns
- •Gross interest income is unavailable; interest and other, net is €40.9 million
- •Current liabilities are aggregated, so detailed current-debt treatment requires refresh
- •Export controls, China restrictions and dual-use chip applications require continuing review
- •Cash, loans, finance receivables and short-term investments can change methodology results

Business-activity disclosure
ASML manufactures lithography, metrology, inspection and service systems used in semiconductor fabrication. Industrial equipment manufacturing is generally permissible, while the ultimate use of chips made with its systems can be commercial, industrial, governmental or dual-use.
Limitation: The filing does not allocate every system, customer, chip end use or service contract into a universal prohibited-revenue numerator; no blanket zero-concern or index-membership claim is made.
Purification
ASML does not separately disclose gross interest income or prescribe a scholar-approved purification percentage in the examined summary. No fixed estimate is made here; readers should follow the scholar or methodology they use.
Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
- Inputs use ASML’s US GAAP Q1 2026 summary for the quarter ended March 29, 2026: total assets €48,060.5 million and total net sales €8,766.9 million.
- Debt uses €2,705.6 million of long-term debt. Current debt, if any, is included in current liabilities without a separately identified amount in the summary, so this is a disclosed lower-bound debt input and should be revisited against the detailed filing.
- Cash uses €7,970.4 million of cash and cash equivalents. Short-term investments use €405.9 million; equity and equity-method investments are not entered as interest-bearing securities.
- Receivables use €4,402.9 million accounts receivable, €630.4 million current finance receivables, €198.2 million noncurrent finance receivables and €267.8 million current loans receivable plus €1,725.9 million noncurrent loans receivable.
- ASML reports €40.9 million of interest and other, net, but does not separately disclose gross interest income in this summary. The income screen is therefore unavailable rather than estimated from net figures.
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.
