Business-activity disclosure

Mueller Water Products makes valves, hydrants and related water-infrastructure products. Municipal and industrial water infrastructure is generally permissible, subject to end-use and contract review.

Limitation: The filing does not provide a reproducible prohibited-revenue numerator for end uses or a gross interest-income figure.

Purification

Gross interest income is not separately disclosed and no scholar-approved purification percentage is inferred.

Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
  • Amounts are USD millions from Mueller Water Products' March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q and rounded to one decimal.
  • Debt combines $1.4 million current and $451.0 million long-term debt; operating leases are excluded.
  • Cash is $421.0 million and no separately identified interest-bearing securities are added.
  • Accounts receivable is $208.6 million and first-quarter revenue is $384.4 million; gross interest income is not separately disclosed.
  • Receivables plus cash is 33.40%, only slightly above the examined MSCI 33.33% total-assets threshold; methodologies differ.

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.
