Boeing Co.

DOUBTFUL — METHODS DIFFERstock

Is BA Halal?

Aerospace with commercial and defense segments; financial ratios pass the examined asset screens but the business classification remains methodology-dependent.

What You Should Know

Boeing's March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q reports $164,787m assets, $47,209m debt, $9,441m cash, $11,464m short-term investments and $13,278m receivables. Debt/assets is 28.65%; Defense, Space & Security revenue was $7,599m, so the qualitative verdict remains doubtful.

⚠️ Concerns

  • Significant military and government contracts
  • High leverage and large unbilled receivables
  • Defense activity requires scholar-specific judgment

Business-activity disclosure

Boeing has a commercial-aircraft and services business alongside a substantial Defense, Space & Security segment. Commercial aviation is generally permissible, while weapons and military programs require scholar-specific ethical judgment.

Limitation: The filing reports Defense, Space & Security revenue of $7,599m but does not classify all products and contracts under one Sharia prohibited-activity standard.

Purification

The filing does not isolate all non-compliant income; ZakatInvest does not prescribe a fixed purification percentage.

Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
  • Amounts are USD millions from Boeing's March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q.
  • Debt is the reported total debt balance; short-term and other investments include time deposits, restricted cash, available-for-sale debt investments and other investments.
  • Accounts receivable includes accounts receivable plus unbilled receivables.
  • The filing does not provide a complete prohibited-activity revenue numerator or an interest-income decomposition.

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.
