Is MTD Halal?
Precision instruments and services with excellent compliance.
What You Should Know
Mettler-Toledo manufactures weighing, analytical, and inspection instruments. Its March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q reports $3,668.915 million of assets, $2,228.638 million of interest-bearing debt, $60.574 million of cash, $708.206 million of receivables and $947.127 million of quarterly sales. Debt/assets is 60.75%, above the examined FTSE, MSCI and Malaysia asset limits; interest income is referenced but not separately quantified, so the quantitative screen fails despite the permissible core business.
⚠️ Concerns
- •Interest-bearing debt is above examined limits
- •Interest income is not separately quantified
- •Laboratory and industrial customer end uses

Business-activity disclosure
Mettler-Toledo manufactures precision weighing, analytical, laboratory and inspection instruments and provides related services. The core activity is generally permissible.
Limitation: The filing does not classify every customer end use into a scholar-approved prohibited-revenue numerator.
Purification
The filing references interest income within other charges (income), net but does not separately quantify it or provide a scholar-approved purification percentage.
Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
- Amounts are USD millions from Mettler-Toledo's March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q and converted from thousands.
- Interest-bearing debt includes $67.042 million of short-term borrowings and current maturities plus $2,161.596 million of long-term debt; operating leases are excluded.
- Cash is $60.574 million and no separately identifiable interest-bearing securities are reported in the selected balance-sheet captions.
- Trade accounts receivable are $708.206 million net; first-quarter net sales are $947.127 million.
- Other charges (income), net includes interest income but the filing does not separately quantify that income in the selected statements, so the income input is unavailable.
- Precision instruments, laboratory equipment and related services are treated as generally permissible; customer end uses remain qualitative review items.
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.
