Booz Allen Hamilton
Is BOOZ Halal?
Defense consulting — government intelligence and defense advisory.
What You Should Know

Defense and intelligence consulting remains the core qualitative concern; the filing does not provide a school-specific prohibited-revenue numerator or gross interest income.
⚠️ Concerns

- •Debt screen fails at 55.35% of assets

Business-activity disclosure
Booz Allen is a defense and intelligence consulting contractor. The existing qualitative HARAM verdict is retained because military and intelligence advisory work is central to the business, while the automated business screen remains incomplete without a school-specific prohibited-revenue numerator.
Limitation: The annual filing does not allocate revenue into a reproducible prohibited-activity numerator by defense, intelligence, civilian government, commercial or contract end use; gross interest income is also unavailable.
Purification
Gross interest income and a school-approved purification numerator are unavailable; the adverse defense and intelligence activity assessment is retained qualitatively and no fixed amount is prescribed.
Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
- Interest-bearing debt combines 19 of current long-term debt with 3,921 of long-term debt net of current portion.
- Cash and cash equivalents are 728 and include money-market funds. No separate unrestricted interest-bearing securities balance is reported.
- Accounts receivable, net are 2,063 and fiscal-year revenue is 11,217.
- Booz Allen reports a government and defense-heavy contract portfolio, but it does not provide a reproducible school-specific prohibited-revenue numerator; government contracting is not automatically treated as a numeric prohibited-revenue amount here.
- Gross interest income is not separately disclosed; the filing reports net interest expense and an interest-income discussion without a reproducible gross income line.
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.
