HALAL — SCREEN DOES NOT PASSstock

Is GWRE Halal?

Insurance-platform cloud software — generally permissible activity, but current liquidity/assets screen fails.

What You Should Know

Guidewire's April 30, 2026 Form 10-Q reports assets of $2,535.132 million, convertible notes of $677.206 million, cash of $294.634 million, debt investments of $852.167 million, broad receivables of $363.705 million and quarterly revenue of $372.541 million. Debt/assets is 26.71%, liquidity/assets is 45.24%, receivables plus cash/assets is 25.97% and disclosed interest income is 3.03% of revenue. Liquidity exceeds the examined limits; no universal prohibited-revenue numerator is disclosed.

⚠️ Concerns

  • Liquidity/assets is 45.24%, above examined 33.333% limits
  • Convertible-note leverage and debt-investment portfolio
  • Insurance-industry customer and underwriting use
  • Disclosed interest income is 3.03% of quarterly revenue; no fixed purification percentage asserted
  • Data privacy, claims and pricing analytics require qualitative review

Business-activity disclosure

Guidewire provides cloud and software platforms for property-and-casualty insurers. General-purpose insurance software is generally permissible, but insurer product, underwriting and customer-use exposure is not reduced to a universal prohibited-revenue numerator.

Limitation: The filing does not classify customer insurance activities by Sharia category; the activity conclusion remains qualitative.

Purification

Guidewire discloses interest income of $11.295 million, but ZakatInvest does not prescribe a scholar-approved purification percentage.

Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
  • Amounts are USD millions from Guidewire's April 30, 2026 Form 10-Q.
  • Convertible senior notes of $677.206 million are included as interest-bearing debt; operating lease liabilities are excluded.
  • Cash is $294.634 million and short- plus long-term debt investments total $852.167 million.
  • Billed accounts receivable of $138.853 million plus unbilled receivables of $224.852 million are used; the filing presents both as receivable balances.
  • Second-quarter revenue is $372.541 million and disclosed interest income is $11.295 million.
  • Insurance-platform software is generally permissible, but no universal prohibited-revenue numerator is disclosed.

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.
