HALAL — FINANCIAL SCREENS PASSstock

Is MDT Halal?

Medical devices are generally permissible and the April 2026 annual financial ratios pass the examined total-assets limits, with product-level ethical review retained.

What You Should Know

Medtronic develops pacemakers, cardiac, surgical, neurological, diabetes and other medical devices. Its April 24, 2026 Form 10-K shows debt at 30.06% of total assets, identifiable liquidity at 9.93%, receivables plus cash at 9.24%, and interest income at 0.10% of fiscal-year net sales. Medical-device revenue is not a prohibited-category numerator, but product safety, clinical evidence and access remain qualitative questions.

⚠️ Concerns

  • Debt was 30.06% of total assets at April 24, 2026
  • Interest income was 0.10% of fiscal-year net sales
  • Medical-device safety, clinical outcomes, pricing, access, recalls, research ethics, labor, supply-chain and environmental impacts require qualitative review

Overall

Not calculated

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

Medtronic develops medical devices and therapies across cardiovascular, neuroscience, surgical, acute-care and diabetes markets. Medical technology that supports treatment and preserves health is generally permissible.

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

Purification

Disclosed interest income is 0.10% of fiscal-year net sales; ZakatInvest does not prescribe a fixed purification percentage.

Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
  • Amounts are USD millions from Medtronic's April 24, 2026 Form 10-K.
  • Debt includes current debt obligations of $1,788 million and long-term debt of $26,173 million; operating lease liabilities are excluded.
  • Cash is $1,949 million. Available-for-sale debt securities are $7,287 million; equity and other investments of $824 million are excluded from the interest-bearing-security numerator.
  • Accounts receivable is $6,643 million and fiscal-year net sales are $36,364 million.
  • Disclosed interest income is $35 million for fiscal 2026.
  • Medtronic's disclosed operating segments are medical-device businesses; no prohibited operating category is identified in the filing, while product-specific ethics remain qualitative.

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.
