Honeywell International Inc.

DOUBTFUL — SCREEN DOES NOT PASSstock

Is HON Halal?

Industrial and aerospace products are generally permissible, but current debt/assets fails the financial screens and end-use review remains necessary.

What You Should Know

Honeywell supplies aerospace, building automation, industrial automation, process technology, materials and software products. Its March 31, 2026 filing reports debt/assets of 49.66%, liquidity/assets of 16.75%, receivables plus cash/assets of 27.08% and interest income/revenue of 0.98%. Aerospace/defense, chemicals, Quantinuum and the planned separation require qualitative review.

⚠️ Concerns

  • Debt/assets is 49.66% and exceeds the examined FTSE, MSCI and Malaysia limits
  • Aerospace and defense contracts require end-use and customer review
  • Chemical, materials, environmental and industrial-safety impacts remain material
  • Quantinuum, software/data activity, litigation and separation financing require continuing diligence

Business-activity disclosure

Honeywell supplies aerospace, building automation, industrial automation, process technology, materials and software products. Industrial and safety products are generally permissible, while aerospace/defense end uses, chemicals, software, Quantinuum and the planned aerospace separation require continuing qualitative review.

Limitation: The filing does not allocate every aerospace, defense, chemical, software or government-linked revenue stream into a universal prohibited-activity numerator.

Purification

Honeywell discloses interest income but does not prescribe a scholar-approved purification percentage; readers should follow the methodology and scholar they use.

Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
  • Amounts are USD millions from Honeywell's March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q and rounded to the nearest million.
  • Debt includes commercial paper and other short-term borrowings of $4,630 million, current maturities of $3,099 million and long-term debt of $29,010 million; operating leases are excluded.
  • Cash is $11,977 million. Short-term investments are $413 million; equity investments and long-term receivables are excluded.
  • Accounts receivable, net is $8,062 million. First-quarter net sales are $9,143 million and disclosed interest income is $90 million.
  • Assets held for sale and the planned aerospace separation are retained in total assets, while no prohibited-revenue numerator is asserted.

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.
