Best Buy Co. Inc.
Is BBY Halal?
Consumer electronics retailer — selling permissible technology products and services.
What You Should Know
Best Buy's May 2, 2026 filing reports 7.85% interest-bearing debt/assets, 11.75% identifiable liquidity/assets, 17.83% receivables-plus-cash/assets and a conservative 0.21% investment-income-and-other/revenue upper bound. Consumer electronics and Geek Squad services are generally permissible, while gaming, digital content and credit-card revenue remain qualitative.
⚠️ Concerns
- •Gaming and digital-content product mix is not separately quantified
- •Streaming and subscription gift-card exposure is indirect and unallocated
- •Credit-card revenue is included in services
- •Investment income and other was 19 million for the quarter

Business-activity disclosure
Best Buy sells consumer electronics, appliances, computing, gaming products and technology services. General retail and repair services are generally permissible, while digital gaming, streaming subscriptions and credit-card revenue require qualitative review.
Limitation: The filing reports revenue categories but does not quantify product-level prohibited content or a universal prohibited-revenue numerator.
Purification
Investment income and other of 19 million is a conservative upper bound, not a scholar-approved purification percentage; ZakatInvest does not prescribe a fixed percentage.
Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
- Amounts are USD millions from Best Buy's May 2, 2026 Form 10-Q.
- Interest-bearing debt is current debt of 11 plus long-term debt of 1,158; operating lease liabilities are excluded.
- Cash is 1,749 and no separate interest-bearing securities line is reported.
- Receivables are 906 and quarterly revenue is 8,936.
- Investment income and other of 19 is used as a conservative upper bound because the filing does not isolate interest income from other income.
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.
