TSMC
Taiwan Semiconductor Mfg.
Is TSMC Halal?
Semiconductor foundry core is generally permissible, but fixed-income securities create methodology-dependent liquidity results.
What You Should Know
TSMC provides wafer fabrication, advanced packaging and design-enablement services. Its March 31, 2026 consolidated report shows debt/assets of 12.21%, cash plus fixed-income securities/assets of 39.78%, receivables plus cash/assets of 39.26% and interest income/sales of 2.54%. Customer, dual-use and end-market revenue is not universally allocated; the existing `/assets/TSM` record is the canonical ADR identifier while this legacy alias preserves the `/assets/TSMC` route.
⚠️ Concerns
- •Cash plus fixed-income securities are 39.78% of total assets under the examined treatment
- •Receivables plus cash are 39.26% and exceed some total-assets limits
- •Interest income is NT$28.862 billion for the quarter
- •Dual-use chips, export controls, Taiwan risk, energy, water and supply-chain impacts require continuing review

Business-activity disclosure
TSMC is a pure-play semiconductor foundry providing process technology, wafer fabrication, advanced packaging and design-enablement services. Semiconductor manufacturing is generally permissible industrial activity, while end-use, customer and dual-use technology questions require continuing qualitative review.
Limitation: The filing does not allocate every chip, customer or end use into a universal prohibited-revenue numerator; no blanket zero-concern claim is made.
Purification
TSMC discloses interest income but does not prescribe a scholar-approved purification percentage; readers should follow the methodology they use.
Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
- This alias uses the same March 31, 2026 TSMC consolidated report as the canonical NYSE ADR ticker TSM record; amounts are TWD thousands.
- Debt uses current long-term liabilities, bonds payable and long-term bank loans. Lease liabilities are excluded.
- Cash uses NT$3,035,637,228 thousand. Interest-bearing securities use disclosed corporate, government/agency and fixed-income instruments totaling NT$409,948,496 thousand; equity investments are excluded.
- Receivables include notes and accounts receivable plus related-party receivables. First-quarter sales are NT$1,134,103,440 thousand.
- TSMC reports NT$28,862,263 thousand of interest income; the filing does not quantify a universal prohibited-revenue numerator for semiconductor end uses.
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.
