DOUBTFUL — SCREEN DOES NOT PASSstock

Is IONQ Halal?

Quantum computing is generally permissible, but liquidity/assets and interest income materially fail the examined screens.

What You Should Know

IonQ's March 31, 2026 filing reports 46.19% identifiable liquidity/assets and 43.66% disclosed interest income/revenue; debt/assets is 0.00% and receivables-plus-cash/assets is 8.84%. Quantum hardware and cloud services are generally permissible, while government and dual-use end use remains qualitative.

⚠️ Concerns

  • Liquidity/assets is 46.19%, above the examined limits
  • Interest income, net is 28.234 million, or 43.66% of quarterly revenue
  • Proposed SkyWater transaction may materially change the balance sheet
  • Government/defense and dual-use end use is not contract-level disclosed

Business-activity disclosure

IonQ develops quantum-computing hardware, cloud access, networking, sensing and security products. Scientific computing is generally permissible, while government, defense and dual-use customer applications require qualitative review.

Limitation: The filing does not classify every customer or dual-use application under a universal Sharia taxonomy.

Purification

Interest income, net of 28.234 million is disclosed, but ZakatInvest does not prescribe a fixed scholar-approved purification percentage.

Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
  • Amounts are USD millions from IonQ's March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q.
  • No conventional borrowings are reported; operating leases and warrant liabilities are not treated as interest-bearing debt in this screen.
  • Cash is 493.538 and U.S. government and agency short- and long-term investments total 2,598.358.
  • Accounts receivable is 98.197 and quarterly revenue is 64.668.
  • Interest income, net is 28.234; quantum-computing customer and government/defense end use is not allocated to a universal prohibited-revenue numerator.

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.
