Is CHKP Halal?
Cybersecurity is generally permissible, but the latest filing-backed screen fails its liquidity test because of large cash and marketable-securities balances.
What You Should Know
Check Point's December 31, 2025 Form 20-F reports $7,806.4M of assets, $1,972.1M of convertible-note debt, $1,800.0M of cash, $2,541.7M of interest-bearing securities, $769.1M of receivables and $2,725.4M of revenue. Liquidity/assets is 55.62%, above the examined asset-based limits; disclosed interest income is $105.0M. The cybersecurity business remains generally permissible, but the filing does not provide a universal prohibited-revenue numerator.
⚠️ Concerns
- •Liquidity/assets is 55.62%, above the examined FTSE, MSCI and Malaysia limits
- •Convertible senior notes are material despite the 0% coupon
- •Some customers are conventional financial-services firms and defense agencies
- •The filing does not provide a universal prohibited-revenue numerator
- •Some investors apply additional ethical screens to Israeli incorporation

Business-activity disclosure
Check Point provides general-purpose network, cloud, endpoint and security-operations software and appliances. Cybersecurity is generally permissible, while customer end markets and jurisdiction-specific ethical screens remain separate qualitative questions.
Limitation: The filing does not allocate revenue into a universal prohibited-activity numerator, so no percentage is invented.
Purification
The filing discloses $105.0 million of interest income; ZakatInvest does not prescribe a fixed scholar-approved purification percentage.
Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
- Amounts are USD millions from Check Point's December 31, 2025 Form 20-F.
- Debt is the $1,972.1 million carrying value of convertible senior notes; interest-bearing securities include short-term bank deposits and current and long-term marketable securities.
- Trade receivables were $769.1 million, total revenue was $2,725.4 million and disclosed interest income was $105.0 million.
- Check Point provides network, cloud, endpoint and security-operations products; the filing does not provide a universal prohibited-revenue numerator.
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.
