Business-activity disclosure

Fastly provides edge cloud, web and API performance, security, compute and observability services. The core infrastructure is generally permissible, while downstream content, cybersecurity use, data processing and customer activity require qualitative review.

Limitation: The filing does not allocate revenue by downstream customer use, content category, government or surveillance use, or other universal prohibited-activity taxonomy.

Purification

Fastly discloses $2.927 million of interest income, approximately 1.69% of quarterly revenue; ZakatInvest does not prescribe a fixed scholar-approved purification percentage.

Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
  • Amounts are USD millions converted from Fastly's March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q, which reports in thousands.
  • Debt is $323.620 million of long-term debt; operating lease liabilities are excluded.
  • Cash is $146.670 million and marketable securities are $183.819 million. Accounts receivable is $130.037 million.
  • First-quarter revenue is $173.021 million and separately disclosed interest income is $2.927 million, approximately 1.69% of revenue.
  • Fastly reports Network Services, Security, Compute and Observability solutions; downstream customer use and content are not classified in the filing.

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.
