HALAL — SCREEN DOES NOT PASSstock

Is PAGP Halal?

Midstream crude-oil and NGL pipeline infrastructure — permissible energy-infrastructure business.

What You Should Know

Plains GP Holdings is the general-partner entity linked to Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (PAA), a midstream crude-oil and natural-gas-liquids pipeline operator. The business gathers, transports, terminals, stores, and markets hydrocarbons through North American infrastructure. Pipeline transportation and storage are generally permissible industrial activities, but PAGP's GP-LP structure requires look-through analysis. Its March 31, 2026 filing reports $11.376 billion of identified interest-bearing debt against $32.760 billion of assets, putting the examined total-assets debt screen above the 33% range.

⚠️ Concerns

  • General-partner structure requires additional GP-LP and look-through analysis
  • Identified debt/assets is 34.72% in the latest filing
  • Crude-oil and NGL infrastructure remains a qualitative environmental consideration
  • Interest income and prohibited-activity revenue are not separately disclosed

Business-activity disclosure

PAGP is a general-partner holding entity linked to Plains All American Pipeline, whose operations gather, transport, store and market crude oil and natural-gas liquids. Energy infrastructure is generally permissible, but the GP-LP structure and consolidated subsidiary leverage require methodology-specific review.

Limitation: The filing does not allocate revenue into a universal prohibited-activity numerator or separately disclose interest income.

Purification

Interest income is not separately disclosed; ZakatInvest does not assert a fixed purification percentage.

Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
  • Amounts are USD millions from Plains GP Holdings' March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q.
  • Interest-bearing debt includes $420 million short-term debt, $9,120 million senior notes and $1,836 million other long-term debt; discontinued-operation liabilities are not added because their interest-bearing components are not separately identified.
  • Cash is $172 million and trade accounts receivable plus other receivables are $4,821 million.
  • First-quarter revenue is $12,470 million; interest income is not separately disclosed from other income and equity earnings.
  • PAGP is a GP holding entity whose cash flow is derived from its indirect interest in Plains All American Pipeline; the GP-LP structure requires separate qualitative review.

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.
