Business-activity disclosure
Qualcomm designs wireless semiconductors and licenses intellectual property used across handsets, automotive, IoT and connected devices. These are generally permissible technology activities.
Limitation: Public reporting does not classify revenue by defense, surveillance, gambling, adult content or other sensitive downstream uses, and licensing contracts are not screened at that level.
Purification
Disclosed investment income is 1.07% of quarterly revenue, but complete non-compliant income is not isolated. ZakatInvest does not prescribe a fixed purification percentage.
Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
- Amounts are USD millions from Qualcomm's March 29, 2026 Form 10-Q.
- Debt is current plus long-term debt; marketable securities are treated as identifiable interest-bearing securities.
- Accounts receivable is the reported balance. Qualcomm's QCT quarterly revenue included handset, automotive and IoT streams; QTL licensing revenue is not itself treated as prohibited without contract-level evidence.
- Qualcomm does not separately disclose prohibited-business or downstream end-use revenue; investment income is used as the disclosed income proxy.
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.
