Business-activity disclosure
SOXX is a semiconductor and equipment pass-through ETF. Chip manufacturing and equipment are generally permissible business categories, but the portfolio is not Sharia-screened and some issuers have defense or mixed end uses.
Limitation: The issuer discloses sector exposure and fund size but no universal prohibited-revenue allocation across every underlying issuer.
Purification
SOXX passes through distributions from underlying issuers; no scholar-approved purification percentage is disclosed.
Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
- iShares reported USD 47,601.063 million in net assets as of 10 July 2026.
- The portfolio was 78.54% semiconductors, 21.32% semiconductor equipment and 0.14% cash/derivatives as of 13 July 2026.
- The issuer page does not provide a school-neutral prohibited-revenue allocation or fund-level debt, cash and receivable lines; zeroes mean not separately reported, not that every underlying issuer has zero exposure.
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.
