PENN
PENN Entertainment, Inc.
Is PENN Halal?
Casino, racetrack, sportsbook and iCasino operator — gaming was 75.00% of Q1 2026 revenue and remains the core business screen failure.
What You Should Know
PENN Entertainment's March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q reports $14,118.0M total assets, $2,923.9M current-plus-long-term debt, $708.0M cash, $241.0M receivables and $1,779.1M quarterly revenue. ZakatInvest calculates debt/assets 20.71%, cash plus identifiable interest-bearing securities/assets 5.31%, receivables plus cash/assets 6.72% and disclosed interest income/revenue 0.11%. Gaming revenue was $1,334.4M, or 75.00% of quarterly revenue. That is a conservative disclosed gaming-activity proxy; it does not claim every food, hotel, beverage or media dollar has one universal ruling.

A properly licensed historical market-cap series is not stored, but a different denominator cannot cure the failed casino, racetrack, sports-betting and iCasino business screen.
Business-activity disclosure
PENN operates in 27 North American jurisdictions through retail casino and racetrack properties plus an Interactive segment containing online sports betting, iCasino, social gaming, retail sports-bet management and media. Gaming revenue was $1,334.4 million, or 75.00% of quarterly revenue, and the company describes gaming as a primary operating activity.
Limitation: The filing reports a consolidated gaming revenue line rather than a school-specific prohibited-revenue taxonomy. The entered gaming amount is a conservative disclosed proxy for casino, racetrack and online wagering activity, not a claim that every food, hotel, beverage or media dollar is impermissible.
Purification
The core gambling business is not resolved by purification. The filing discloses $1.9 million of interest income, or 0.11% of revenue, but no scholar-approved purification percentage is asserted for gaming revenue, alcohol or other mixed activities.
Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
- Inputs use PENN's March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q; amounts are USD millions.
- Debt uses $38.3 million of current maturities plus $2,885.6 million of long-term debt, net of discounts and issuance costs. Financing obligations and operating/finance lease liabilities are excluded rather than silently treated as conventional debt.
- Cash uses $708.0 million of cash and cash equivalents. Identifiable interest-bearing securities use $26.4 million of available-for-sale debt securities, $6.7 million of held-to-maturity securities and $7.9 million of promissory notes; equity securities are not included.
- Receivables use $241.0 million of accounts receivable, net; prepaid and other current assets are excluded.
- Total quarterly revenue was $1,779.1 million. The filing reports $1.9 million of interest income and $101.0 million of net interest expense.
- Gaming revenue of $1,334.4 million is entered as a conservative disclosed gaming-activity proxy. The filing also reports $444.7 million of food, beverage, hotel and other revenue; the gaming line does not claim every non-gaming dollar is prohibited or that a scholar-approved purification percentage exists.
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.
