DOUBTFUL — SCREEN DOES NOT PASSstock

Is CYBR Halal?

CyberArk's identity-security software is generally permissible, but its 2025 liquidity/assets ratio was 43.38% and CYBR was delisted after the Palo Alto Networks acquisition.

What You Should Know

CyberArk's February 2026 SEC Form 6-K reports $4,816.975M of total assets, $1,222.404M of convertible notes, $623.209M of cash and equivalents, $1,466.563M of short-term deposits and marketable securities, $373.778M of trade receivables and $1,361.118M of 2025 revenue. ZakatInvest calculates debt/assets of 25.38%, identifiable cash and securities/assets of 43.38%, receivables plus cash/assets of 20.70% and a conservative financial-income proxy of 4.56%. The core identity-security business is generally permissible, but the asset-based liquidity screen fails and CYBR is no longer a standalone listed security after the PANW transaction.

⚠️ Concerns

  • Identifiable cash, deposits and marketable securities were 43.38% of assets, above the examined FTSE Yasaar, MSCI and Malaysia SAC liquidity limits
  • CyberArk reported $62.035M of financial income, net, or a conservative 4.56% of revenue; the release does not decompose gross interest income
  • Venafi and Zilla expanded the machine-identity and identity-security product perimeter and affect period comparability
  • The company serves banks, insurers, healthcare, technology and government customers; downstream use remains a qualitative diligence topic
  • CyberArk Form 25-NSE filings show CYBR was delisted on February 11, 2026 after the Palo Alto Networks transaction; future screens should use PANW reporting
  • No universal prohibited-revenue numerator or fixed purification percentage is asserted

Debt is 25.38%, receivables plus cash are 20.70% and the conservative financial-income proxy is 4.56%, but identifiable cash, deposits and marketable securities are 43.38% of assets, above the examined 33.333% liquidity limit.

Debt is 25.38% and receivables plus cash are 20.70%, but identifiable liquidity is 43.38% of assets, above the examined MSCI 33.33% total-assets limit. This is a calculation against the named method, not an index-membership claim.

Debt is 25.38% but identifiable cash, deposits and marketable securities are 43.38% of assets, above the examined Malaysia SAC 33% liquidity limit. This is a contextual calculation, not an official classification of a delisted foreign security.

Incomplete

A properly licensed and reproducible historical market-cap series around the merger and delisting is not stored, so no unsupported market-cap percentage is substituted for the filing-backed asset-based calculation.

Business-activity disclosure

CyberArk provides identity-security and cybersecurity software, including privileged-access management, secrets management, workforce and customer identity, identity governance and machine identity. That core software activity is generally permissible, but public reporting does not allocate revenue into a universal prohibited-revenue numerator and the standalone security is no longer listed after the Palo Alto Networks transaction.

Limitation: The 6-K reports consolidated subscription and maintenance/service revenue but does not provide a scholar-approved prohibited-revenue classification by customer, government contract, downstream use or product feature. No exact prohibited-revenue percentage is invented.

Purification

Financial income, net was $62.035 million, or 4.56% of revenue, but the 6-K does not separately disclose gross interest income or prescribe a scholar-approved purification percentage. Readers should follow their qualified scholar or chosen methodology.

Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
  • Inputs use CyberArk's December 31, 2025 unaudited consolidated balance sheet and statement of operations furnished in the February 4, 2026 Form 6-K; amounts are USD millions.
  • Interest-bearing debt uses the $1,222.404 million net convertible senior notes balance. Trade payables, deferred revenue, leases and other operating liabilities are excluded.
  • Cash uses $623.209 million of cash and cash equivalents. Interest-bearing securities use $410.865 million of short-term bank deposits plus $508.218 million of current and $547.480 million of long-term marketable securities. This deliberately identifies the disclosed cash, deposits and marketable-securities pool rather than treating operating assets as liquidity.
  • Trade receivables use the reported $373.778 million net balance. Total revenue was $1,361.118 million for 2025.
  • Financial income, net was $62.035 million. Because the release does not separately decompose interest income, this is a conservative upper-bound proxy for the income screen, not a scholar-approved purification percentage.
  • CyberArk's core identity-security, privileged-access, secrets, workforce/customer identity and machine-identity software is generally permissible at the activity level; consolidated revenue is not allocated into a universal prohibited-revenue numerator.
  • CyberArk Form 25-NSE filings show the CYBR listing was terminated on February 11, 2026 after the Palo Alto Networks transaction. This record is a historical final standalone screen, not a recommendation to buy a currently listed CYBR security.

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.
