HALAL — SCREEN DOES NOT PASSstock

Is CLS Halal?

Electronics manufacturing and supply-chain services — generally permissible activity, but the current MSCI receivables screen fails and gross interest income is unavailable.

What You Should Know

Celestica's March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q reports assets of $8,260.0 million, borrowings and finance-lease obligations of $772.4 million, cash of $378.0 million, receivables of $3,167.4 million and quarterly revenue of $4,047.0 million. Debt/assets is 9.35%, liquidity/assets is 4.58% and receivables plus cash/assets is 42.92%; the MSCI receivables screen fails. The filing reports finance costs but no standalone gross interest-income numerator.

⚠️ Concerns

  • Receivables-plus-cash/assets is 42.92%, above the examined MSCI limit
  • Aerospace and defense-adjacent customer programs
  • Very large receivables and working-capital exposure
  • Credit-facility and finance-lease obligations
  • Gross interest income is unavailable; no fixed purification percentage asserted

Business-activity disclosure

Celestica provides electronics manufacturing, design and supply-chain services for communications, enterprise, healthtech, aerospace and defense-adjacent customers. The manufacturing activity is generally permissible, while customer and end-use revenue is not reduced to a universal prohibited-revenue numerator.

Limitation: The filing does not classify every customer program or end use by a universal Sharia category, and gross interest income is not separately disclosed.

Purification

A standalone gross interest-income numerator is not disclosed; ZakatInvest does not prescribe a purification percentage from finance costs.

Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
  • Amounts are USD millions from Celestica's March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q.
  • Debt includes current and long-term borrowings under the credit facility and finance-lease obligations totaling $772.4 million; operating lease liabilities are excluded.
  • Cash and cash equivalents are $378.0 million; no separate interest-bearing securities balance is included.
  • Net accounts receivable is $3,167.4 million and first-quarter revenue is $4,047.0 million.
  • The filing reports finance costs but does not provide a standalone gross interest-income numerator; income is therefore unavailable for this screen.
  • Electronics manufacturing and supply-chain services are generally permissible, but customer, aerospace and defense-adjacent end uses remain qualitative.

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.
