Silicon Laboratories Inc.

HALAL — SCREEN DOES NOT PASSstock

Is SLAB Halal?

Low-power IoT and wireless-connectivity semiconductor business — generally permissible activity, but the current liquidity screen fails.

What You Should Know

Silicon Laboratories' April 4, 2026 Form 10-Q reports assets of $1,266.461 million, no interest-bearing debt, cash of $383.089 million, short-term investments of $55.767 million, receivables of $77.120 million and quarterly revenue of $213.500 million. Debt/assets is 0.00%, liquidity/assets is 34.65%, receivables plus cash/assets is 36.34% and interest income and other, net is a conservative upper bound of 1.70% of revenue. Liquidity screens fail; no universal prohibited-revenue numerator is disclosed.

⚠️ Concerns

  • Liquidity/assets is 34.65%, above examined 33.333% limits
  • Receivables-plus-cash/assets is 36.34%, above the examined MSCI limit
  • Cash and short-term investment portfolio
  • Interest income and other, net is a conservative upper bound of 1.70%; no fixed purification percentage asserted
  • Smart-home, industrial and metering end uses require qualitative review

Business-activity disclosure

Silicon Laboratories designs low-power wireless connectivity semiconductors for smart-home, industrial, commercial and metering applications. The semiconductor activity is generally permissible, while customer end uses are not reduced to a universal prohibited-revenue numerator.

Limitation: The filing does not classify every IoT protocol, customer or end use by a universal Sharia category; activity remains qualitative.

Purification

Interest income and other, net is used as a conservative upper bound of $3.626 million; ZakatInvest does not prescribe a scholar-approved purification percentage.

Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
  • Amounts are USD millions from Silicon Laboratories' April 4, 2026 Form 10-Q.
  • No interest-bearing debt is reported; operating lease liabilities are excluded.
  • Cash is $383.089 million and short-term investments are $55.767 million.
  • Net accounts receivable is $77.120 million and first-quarter revenue is $213.500 million.
  • Interest income and other, net is $3.626 million and is used as a conservative upper bound; no fixed purification percentage is prescribed.
  • IoT and wireless-connectivity semiconductors are generally permissible, but customer and end-use revenue remains qualitative.

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.
