Quest Diagnostics
Is DGX Halal?
Diagnostic information services with acceptable Sharia compliance.
What You Should Know
Quest provides diagnostic testing, information, and services. Its March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q reports $16,673 million of assets, $5,658 million of interest-bearing debt, $393 million of cash, $1,587 million of receivables and $2,895 million of quarterly revenue. Debt/assets is 33.93%, above the examined FTSE, MSCI and Malaysia asset limits; the filing reports interest expense net but does not separately quantify interest income. The core business remains generally permissible, but the current quantitative screen fails.
⚠️ Concerns
- •Debt/assets is above examined limits
- •Clinical and patient-data end uses
- •Interest income is not separately quantified

Business-activity disclosure
Quest Diagnostics provides diagnostic testing, health information and related services. The core activity is generally permissible.
Limitation: The filing does not allocate every patient, laboratory, pharmaceutical or data-services contract into a scholar-approved prohibited-revenue numerator.
Purification
Quest reports interest expense, net but does not separately quantify interest income or provide a scholar-approved purification percentage.
Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
- Amounts are USD millions from Quest Diagnostics' March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q.
- Interest-bearing debt includes $503 million of current maturities and $5,155 million of long-term debt; operating lease liabilities are excluded.
- Cash is $393 million and no separately identifiable interest-bearing securities are reported in the selected balance-sheet captions.
- Accounts receivable are $1,587 million net; first-quarter net revenues are $2,895 million.
- The filing reports interest expense, net of $63 million but does not separately quantify interest income in the selected statements, so the income input is unavailable.
- Diagnostic testing, information and services are treated as generally permissible; patient and customer end uses remain qualitative review items.
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.
