DOUBTFUL — SCREEN DOES NOT PASSstock

Is HAS Halal?

Toys and general board games are generally permissible, but trading-card mechanics, digital-game monetization, entertainment licensing and current leverage create school-specific Sharia concerns.

What You Should Know

Hasbro's first-quarter 2026 Form 10-Q reports $5,930.3 million of assets, $3,612.1 million of long-term borrowings at carrying cost, $857.1 million of cash, $528.6 million of available-for-sale securities and $712.6 million of net receivables. That produces debt/assets of 60.91%, cash plus securities/assets of 23.37%, and receivables plus cash/assets of 26.47%. Disclosed interest income is $10.1 million against $1,000.2 million of quarterly revenue (1.01%). The examined FTSE Yasaar, MSCI total-assets and Malaysia SAC calculations fail on debt; market-cap methods are not calculated. Toys and general board games are generally permissible at the activity level, while random booster packs, digital-game monetization, fantasy content and entertainment licensing require qualitative review.

⚠️ Concerns

  • Borrowings are 60.91% of assets, above the examined asset-based financial limits
  • Magic: The Gathering random booster-pack economics and tournament structures may be viewed as gambling-adjacent under stricter interpretations
  • Dungeons & Dragons fantasy magic and supernatural themes may be assessed differently by scholars; this is a content-level concern
  • Digital-game in-app purchases and random-reward mechanics require title-level review rather than an unsupported company-wide percentage
  • Hasbro Entertainment and brand licensing create downstream content questions after the eOne divestiture
  • The filing discloses interest income but does not prescribe a scholar-approved purification percentage

A properly licensed and reproducible historical market-cap series is not stored, so these methods are not estimated from a current spot price.

Business-activity disclosure

Hasbro sells toys, board games, trading-card products, tabletop role-playing games, digital games and entertainment/licensing content. Toys and general board games are generally permissible at the activity level, while random booster-pack economics, game monetization, fantasy content and entertainment licensing require school-specific qualitative review.

Limitation: The filing does not allocate a universal prohibited-revenue numerator for random-reward mechanics, fantasy content, entertainment subject matter or downstream customer use; no exact prohibited-revenue percentage is asserted.

Purification

Hasbro discloses interest income but does not prescribe a scholar-approved purification percentage. Readers should follow the qualified scholar or methodology they use rather than applying an invented fixed rate.

Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
  • Inputs use Hasbro's March 29, 2026 Form 10-Q; amounts are USD millions and the revenue and interest-income figures are for the quarter.
  • Debt uses total long-term borrowings at carrying cost of $3,612.1 million, including the current portion and before deferred debt expenses; operating lease liabilities are not added separately.
  • Cash uses $857.1 million of cash and cash equivalents. Interest-bearing securities use $528.6 million of available-for-sale securities, of which $528.1 million were U.S. Treasury securities; the balance-sheet presentation splits these between short-term investments and other assets.
  • Receivables use $712.6 million of net accounts receivable. Inventories, contract assets and other current assets are not added.
  • Quarterly revenue is $1,000.2 million and disclosed interest income is $10.1 million. The screen does not infer a fixed purification rate.

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.
