HARAM — SCREEN DOES NOT PASSstock

Is RKT Halal?

Mortgage origination and personal finance — core business is interest-based lending.

What You Should Know

Rocket Companies is a US mortgage and financial-services company whose businesses include Rocket Mortgage, Rocket Loans, mortgage servicing, and the acquired Mr. Cooper platform. Its March 31, 2026 filing reports $2.941 billion of quarterly net revenue, including $507 million of interest income, and $26.312 billion of identified secured and unsecured financing against $59.439 billion of assets. The principal business remains conventional mortgage origination, servicing, and related lending, which fails the qualitative screen because it is directly tied to interest-bearing loans.

⚠️ Concerns

  • Core business is conventional mortgage origination and servicing — riba is categorically prohibited in Islamic law
  • Gain-on-sale revenue and mortgage-servicing rights are tied to interest-bearing loans
  • Rocket Loans adds personal lending exposure
  • The latest quantitative debt/assets ratio is 44.27%, above the examined limits
  • No Sharia-compliant restructuring is identified

Business-activity disclosure

Rocket Companies' principal businesses include conventional mortgage origination, mortgage servicing, personal lending and related financial services. These activities are directly tied to interest-bearing loans and fail the qualitative screen.

Limitation: The filing reports multiple mortgage and servicing revenue lines rather than a Sharia-compliant segment that could be separated from conventional lending.

Purification

The filing discloses $507 million of interest income, but purification cannot cure a core prohibited lending business; ZakatInvest does not prescribe a fixed percentage.

Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
  • Amounts are USD millions from Rocket Companies' March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q.
  • Interest-bearing debt includes $15,882 million secured financing and $10,430 million unsecured financing; mortgage-loan repurchase obligations are disclosed separately and are not added to avoid double counting.
  • Cash is $2,687 million and advance receivables are $1,623 million.
  • Total revenue, net is $2,941 million and disclosed interest income is $507 million.
  • The entire revenue base is treated as a conservative upper-bound prohibited-business numerator because Rocket's core revenue is mortgage origination, mortgage servicing and related conventional lending.

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.
