Intuitive Surgical Inc.

HALAL — SCREEN DOES NOT PASSstock

Is ISRG Halal?

Surgical robotics is a generally permissible life-preserving medical business, but March 2026 identifiable liquidity exceeds the examined one-third total-assets limit.

What You Should Know

Intuitive Surgical develops and supports the da Vinci and related surgical systems, instruments and services. Its March 31, 2026 filing shows no reported interest-bearing debt and receivables plus cash at 17.91%, while cash plus identifiable Treasury, government-agency and corporate debt securities is 39.68% of total assets. Interest and other income is reported as a combined net line, so gross interest income is not estimated.

⚠️ Concerns

  • Cash plus identifiable debt securities were 39.68% of total assets at March 31, 2026
  • Interest and other income is combined and net, so no standalone purification numerator is available
  • Surgical safety, clinical evidence, training, pricing and access, data, labor, supply chain and medical-device waste require qualitative review

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

Intuitive Surgical develops, manufactures and supports robotic-assisted surgical systems, instruments and services. Medical technology that supports surgical care and patient health is generally permissible.

Limitation: The filing does not classify every customer, clinical indication, reimbursement or downstream use; those remain qualitative review questions rather than an unsupported prohibited-revenue estimate.

Purification

Interest and other income is reported as a combined net line, so a standalone non-compliant-income numerator is unavailable; no fixed purification percentage is prescribed.

Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
  • Amounts are USD millions from Intuitive Surgical's March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q and rounded to the nearest million.
  • No interest-bearing debt is reported on the March 31, 2026 balance sheet; operating and sales-type lease obligations are not entered as conventional debt.
  • Cash is $2,007 million. Short-term investments of $2,511 million and long-term investments of $3,462 million are principally U.S. Treasury, government-agency and corporate debt securities and are treated as identifiable interest-bearing securities.
  • Net accounts receivable is $1,596 million and quarterly revenue is $2,771 million.
  • Interest and other income, net is $85 million but combines interest, investment gains/losses and foreign-exchange effects; no standalone gross interest-income numerator is estimated.
  • Intuitive Surgical reports surgical-system, instrument, service and lease revenue; no prohibited operating category is identified in the filing.

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.
