A properly licensed and reproducible historical market-cap series is not stored; the liquidity and receivables failures remain independently documented.

Business-activity disclosure

Qualys provides cloud security, vulnerability management and compliance software. The core SaaS business is generally permissible, while customer end uses, government contracts and professional services require qualitative review.

Limitation: The filing does not provide a universal prohibited-activity numerator across customers, contracts and service lines.

Purification

Qualys discloses $6.176 million of interest income, but does not provide a complete prohibited-activity numerator; no definitive purification percentage is invented.

Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
  • Amounts are USD millions from Qualys' March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q.
  • Cash and noncurrent restricted cash total $280.668 million; short- and long-term marketable securities total $449.881 million. No interest-bearing debt is reported; operating lease liabilities are excluded.
  • Accounts receivable, net are $134.877 million. Revenue is $175.638 million for the quarter and disclosed interest income is $6.176 million.
  • Cybersecurity subscriptions and compliance software are generally permissible, but customer end uses and professional services are not reduced to a universal prohibited-activity numerator.

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.
