DOUBTFUL — METHODS DIFFERstock

Is IAC Halal?

Internet holding company — financial ratios pass, but its Match Group-led portfolio remains mixed.

What You Should Know

IAC's March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q reports no identified interest-bearing debt, liquidity/assets of 20.88%, receivables plus cash/assets of 26.82%, and conservative net-interest income of 0.63% of revenue. Match Group dating platforms, advertising, payments and other portfolio businesses require qualitative review, so the overall result remains methodology-dependent.

⚠️ Concerns

  • Match Group dating apps facilitate haram relationships under the site's framework
  • Portfolio-company product mix is not fully disclosed
  • Advertising, payment and credit structures require review
  • Conservative net-interest income is 0.63% of revenue

Business-activity disclosure

IAC is a holding company with a mixed portfolio that includes Match Group, media, publishing, consumer and other internet businesses. Dating-platform exposure, advertising, financial products and portfolio-company revenue require qualitative treatment beyond the consolidated financial ratios.

Limitation: IAC does not provide a school-neutral prohibited-revenue numerator for portfolio companies, dating services, advertising, financial products or downstream customer activity.

Purification

IAC reports USD 4.883 million of net interest income, approximately 0.63% of revenue. The disclosed amount is a screen input, not a scholar-approved purification percentage.

Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
  • Amounts are USD millions from IAC's March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q.
  • No interest-bearing debt balance was identified in the selected filing tags; operating lease liabilities are excluded.
  • Cash is USD 319.341 million and short-term investments are USD 216.013 million.
  • Accounts receivable are USD 368.311 million and first-quarter revenue is USD 779.013 million.
  • Net interest income of USD 4.883 million is used as a conservative upper bound; it is not a complete purification prescription.

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.
