HALAL — FINANCIAL SCREENS PASSstock

Is NVDA Halal?

Current total-assets financial screens pass; semiconductor and computing technology are generally permissible, with downstream uses retained in qualitative review.

What You Should Know

NVIDIA designs processors, networking, systems, software, and cloud platforms for data centers and edge computing. The April 2026 quantitative review confirms that reported debt, conventional liquidity, receivables, and disclosed interest income remain within the examined total-assets limits. The filing does not isolate defense, surveillance, screened gaming-content, cryptocurrency-mining, or other sensitive end-use revenue, so those issues remain qualitative rather than receiving an unsupported percentage.

⚠️ Concerns

  • Defense, surveillance, and other sensitive end-use revenue is not separately disclosed
  • Edge Computing combines gaming, workstations, robotics, automotive, and other uses
  • Disclosed interest income was 0.66% of quarterly revenue
  • AI safety, bias, labor displacement, data governance, energy, water, supply-chain labor, and sourcing require qualitative review
  • Export controls, China restrictions, sovereign sales, customer concentration, and large equity investments require monitoring

Pass
Overall
Incomplete

Reported debt, conventional liquidity, receivables-plus-cash, and disclosed interest income pass the published financial limits. A deliberately overinclusive debt bound also passes, while the prohibited business-revenue percentage remains undisclosed.

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

Business-activity disclosure

NVIDIA designs processors, networking, systems, software, cloud services, and development platforms for data centers and edge computing. Semiconductor and general-purpose computing technology are generally permissible activities. Data Center represented 92.20% and Edge Computing 7.80% of current quarterly revenue.

Limitation: NVIDIA does not separately disclose revenue attributable to defense, weapons, surveillance, screened gaming content, cryptocurrency mining, or other potentially sensitive end uses. Its direct-customer and platform reporting cannot support a defensible prohibited-revenue numerator, so neutral-purpose technology is not treated as proof that every downstream use is permissible.

Purification

Disclosed interest income was 0.66% of quarterly revenue. NVIDIA increased its quarterly dividend after the reporting period, but potentially non-compliant operating and investment income is not fully isolated, so this record does not prescribe a fixed purification percentage.

Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
  • Interest-bearing debt is the reported net carrying amount of unsecured notes: 1,000 current and 7,470 non-current. NVIDIA had no commercial paper outstanding.
  • The filing does not separately present a finance-lease liability. Even adding all 29,787 of accrued and other current liabilities and all 8,768 of other long-term liabilities as a deliberately overinclusive debt bound would produce 18.12% debt to assets, below the examined limits.
  • Cash and cash equivalents are the reported 13,237. Interest-bearing securities are the reported 37,098 of marketable debt securities; 30,237 of marketable equity securities and non-marketable equity investments are excluded.
  • Accounts receivable is the reported net balance of 40,710.
  • Revenue and disclosed interest income use the same three-month fiscal period ended April 26, 2026.

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.
