MSFT2

GitHub (Microsoft; parent-company proxy)

HALAL — METHODS DIFFERstock

Is MSFT2 Halal?

Software development platform — entirely permissible.

What You Should Know

GitHub provides software development and collaboration tools. The March 31, 2026 Microsoft filing gives a parent-company proxy of debt/assets 5.80%, liquidity/assets 11.27% and receivables plus cash/assets 13.27%. Gross interest income, GitHub-specific financials and activity revenue are not separately disclosed, so the quantitative result is incomplete and methodology-dependent.

⚠️ Concerns

  • Parent-company ratios are not standalone GitHub figures
  • Microsoft cloud, gaming, advertising and other activity is not allocated to the alias
  • Gross interest income is not separately disclosed

A properly licensed and reproducible 24- or 36-month issuer market-cap history is not stored, so market-cap methods are not estimated from a current spot price.

Business-activity disclosure

GitHub provides software development and collaboration infrastructure, generally permissible in isolation. The MSFT2 route is a GitHub alias, but the available filing is Microsoft parent-company data and does not isolate GitHub activity for a complete issuer-level Sharia screen.

Limitation: Microsoft does not disclose a reproducible prohibited-revenue numerator or a standalone GitHub balance sheet and income statement in the filing used here; gross interest income is also unavailable.

Purification

Gross interest income is unavailable for the parent proxy and GitHub-specific income is not disclosed; no purification amount is estimated.

Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
  • This is a parent-company proxy for the preserved MSFT2 GitHub route; Microsoft does not publish a standalone GitHub balance sheet for this screen.
  • Debt includes 31,423 of long-term debt and 8,839 of current debt.
  • Cash is 32,105 and short-term investments are 46,167; client and restricted balances are excluded.
  • Accounts receivable, net is 60,041. Quarterly revenue is 82,886 for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
  • Gross interest income is not separately disclosed in a reproducible tag or line item for this period; it is therefore null rather than assumed zero. GitHub revenue and prohibited-activity revenue are not separately quantified.

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.
