HARAM — SCREEN DOES NOT PASSstock

Is LMT Halal?

Defense contractor with a failed debt screen and a weapons-focused core business.

What You Should Know

Lockheed Martin's March 29, 2026 Form 10-Q reports $59,238m assets and $20,697m carrying-value debt, or 34.94% debt/assets. F-35, missile-defense and strategic programs make the qualitative business screen fail under a weapons-exclusion approach.

⚠️ Concerns

  • F-35 fighter aircraft and missile programs
  • Debt/assets above the examined limits
  • Heavy U.S. government and military dependence

Business-activity disclosure

Lockheed Martin is a defense contractor whose F-35 program generated approximately $4,850m (27% of first-quarter sales); a weapons-exclusion approach fails the core activity screen.

Limitation: The proxy does not capture every weapons or defense program and does not define a single scholarly threshold for defense exposure.

Purification

A conservative other-income proxy is recorded, but ZakatInvest does not prescribe a fixed purification percentage.

Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
  • Amounts are USD millions from Lockheed Martin's March 29, 2026 Form 10-Q.
  • Debt is current maturities plus long-term debt carrying amounts; the filing separately reports $21.9bn outstanding principal.
  • Other non-operating income of $60m is used as a conservative proxy because it includes interest income and investment gains.
  • F-35 sales represented approximately 27% of consolidated sales; the filing does not isolate all weapons-related revenue.

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.
