Business-activity disclosure
Cisco supplies networking, security, collaboration and observability hardware and software. General IT infrastructure is generally permissible.
Limitation: Public reporting does not classify revenue by defense, surveillance, gambling, adult content, or other sensitive customer/end uses, and financing receivables are not separately characterized for every contract.
Purification
Disclosed investment income is 1.35% of quarterly revenue, but a complete non-compliant-income decomposition is unavailable. ZakatInvest does not prescribe a fixed purification percentage.
Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
- Amounts are USD millions from Cisco's April 25, 2026 Form 10-Q.
- Debt is the disclosed debt-instrument carrying amount. Interest-bearing securities are available-for-sale debt securities; equity investments in the broader investments line are excluded.
- Accounts receivable includes trade receivables plus current and non-current financing receivables.
- Cisco does not separately disclose prohibited-business or downstream end-use revenue; interest income is used as the disclosed non-compliant income proxy.
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.
