Is IT Halal?
Technology research is permissible, but Gartner fails the examined asset-based debt screen.
What You Should Know
Gartner's March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q reports 38.97% interest-bearing debt/assets, 21.78% cash/assets and 40.21% receivables-plus-cash/assets. Research, advisory and conference services are generally permissible, but the debt ratio exceeds the examined 33.333% asset-based limit and interest income is not separately reproducible.
⚠️ Concerns
- •Interest-bearing debt/assets is 38.97%, above the examined asset-based limit
- •Receivables plus cash/assets is 40.21%
- •Interest income and market-cap denominator remain incomplete

Business-activity disclosure
Gartner provides technology research, advisory services, consulting and conferences. These knowledge and professional-services activities are generally permissible, while the filing does not quantify a school-specific prohibited-revenue taxonomy.
Limitation: The filing does not provide a reproducible market-cap denominator history or a universal prohibited-revenue and interest-income numerator.
Purification
A standalone interest-income numerator is not reproducibly disclosed; investors should seek qualified guidance and ZakatInvest does not prescribe a fixed percentage.
Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
- Amounts are USD millions from Gartner's March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q.
- Interest-bearing debt is current debt of 5.000 plus long-term debt of 2,977.971; operating lease liabilities are excluded.
- Cash and cash equivalents are 1,666.946 and fees receivable are 1,411.496.
- Quarterly revenue is 1,511.041.
- The filing discusses interest income within net interest expense but does not provide a reproducible standalone numerator in the extracted statements.
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.
