Is SAMSUNG Halal?
Electronics and semiconductors — permissible technology manufacturer.
What You Should Know
Samsung makes phones, chips, displays, appliances and automotive electronics. Its Q1 2026 statements report KRW 133,873,444 million of revenue; the quantitative screen shows debt/assets 4.44%, liquidity/assets 26.97% and receivables-plus-cash/assets 25.62%. The core industrial activity is generally permissible, while finance income, subsidiaries and dual-use end uses remain qualitative concerns.
⚠️ Concerns
- •Samsung Finance and other financial activities require review
- •Q1 2026 financial income is a conservative 4.57% of revenue proxy
- •Semiconductor and communications products have dual-use and supply-chain considerations

Business-activity disclosure
Samsung's reported operations are primarily electronics, semiconductors, displays, appliances and automotive components. These are generally permissible industrial activities, while finance arms, investments, customer end uses and dual-use technology require continuing qualitative review.
Limitation: The consolidated statements do not allocate every subsidiary, financial product, customer end use or interest component into a school-specific prohibited-revenue numerator; no blanket zero-concern claim is made.
Purification
Samsung discloses financial income but does not prescribe a scholar-approved purification percentage; readers should follow the methodology and scholar they use.
Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
- Amounts are KRW millions from Samsung Electronics' consolidated March 31, 2026 financial statements.
- Debt includes short-term borrowings, current long-term liabilities, debentures and long-term borrowings; lease liabilities are excluded.
- Liquidity securities include short-term financial instruments and disclosed financial assets at fair value; equity-method investments are excluded.
- Trade and non-trade receivables total KRW 88,942,284 million. Q1 2026 revenue was KRW 133,873,444 million.
- Financial income was KRW 6,122,965 million, used as a conservative upper-bound proxy for potentially non-compliant financial income; it is not a purification prescription.
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.
