HALAL — SCREEN DOES NOT PASSstock

Is GTLB Halal?

DevOps software — permissible developer tools.

What You Should Know

GitLab provides DevOps and software development platforms. Q1 FY2027 total assets were $1,705.533 million, including $335.395 million cash and $989.506 million short-term investments; the core software business is generally permissible, while investment-heavy treasury management and downstream AI/security use remain qualitative considerations.

⚠️ Concerns

  • Liquidity/assets is above examined financial limits
  • Minor interest income
  • Downstream AI, cybersecurity and government use cases

Liquidity/assets is 77.11%, exceeding the examined MSCI total-assets liquidity limit; this is a calculation against the named method, not an index-membership claim.

Fails

A licensed historical market-cap series is not stored; the asset-based liquidity screen fails independently.

Business-activity disclosure

GitLab provides DevOps, source-control, security and software-development platforms, which are generally permissible developer tools. AI, cybersecurity, government and other downstream uses require look-through review.

Limitation: The filing does not allocate revenue by customer end use into a universal prohibited-activity numerator.

Purification

Interest income is disclosed, but no scholar-approved purification percentage is prescribed; readers should follow their chosen methodology and scholar.

Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
  • Amounts are USD millions from GitLab's April 30, 2026 Form 10-Q.
  • Short-term investments include commercial paper, corporate debt, U.S. agency and U.S. Treasury securities; the identifiable debt-security balance is $989.506 million. The filing also reports $32.611 million of equity wealth-management products, excluded.
  • Cash and cash equivalents are $335.395 million and accounts receivable, net is $200.302 million. No interest-bearing debt is disclosed.
  • First-quarter revenue is $264.158 million and disclosed interest income is $11.947 million.

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.
