MON

Q: Is MON (Monsanto Company (acquired by Bayer; no MON listing)) halal?

DOUBTFUL: Monsanto merged into Bayer in 2018 and MON was delisted; the historical pesticide and GMO analysis is retained without fabricating current standalone ratios. MON is a preserved Monsanto route. Bayer completed the merger on June 7, 2018, after which Monsanto became a wholly owned Bayer subsidiary and MON ceased to be a publicly traded security. The route keeps the existing qualitative pesticide, seed and environmental analysis; a current standalone Monsanto financial screen is not applicable.

Business-activity disclosure

Monsanto's historical agriculture, seed and crop-protection activities remain the qualitative subject of this route, but the MON security is no longer publicly traded after Bayer's acquisition.

Limitation: A current standalone Monsanto balance sheet, revenue statement and public share price do not exist for screening.

Purification

No current standalone MON issuer income exists for a purification calculation.

Inputs, assumptions and primary sources

Monsanto merged into Bayer on June 7, 2018; MON was delisted and no longer represents a current public security.
No current Bayer segment data is substituted for the historical MON route, so numerical ratios are intentionally not calculated.
The URL and existing qualitative pesticide/GMO analysis are preserved.

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.
