VOO
Vanguard S&P 500 ETF
Is VOO Halal?
Broad market ETF — includes all industries including haram.
What You Should Know
VOO tracks the S&P 500. Its March 2026 N-PORT reports $1,423,980.321 million of total assets, but does not provide a complete fund-level debt, cash, receivables or prohibited-income statement. The holdings schedule identifies conventional banks, alcohol, tobacco, casinos, entertainment and defense exposure, so the existing qualitative concern remains and the overall screen is FAIL.
⚠️ Concerns
- •Banks and financial services — HARAM exposure
- •Alcohol and tobacco companies
- •Casinos and entertainment holdings
- •No universal look-through revenue numerator

The N-PORT supplies the total-asset denominator but not complete fund-level debt, liquidity, receivables or non-compliant-income lines; the underlying portfolio requires look-through activity review.

Reported fund-level proxy ratios are 0.00% debt, 0.00% liquidity and 0.00% receivables-plus-cash, but unreported lines and the underlying mixed portfolio prevent a Sharia classification.

Business-activity disclosure
VOO is a broad S&P 500 pass-through ETF. Its March 2026 holdings include conventional financial institutions, alcohol and tobacco companies, casinos, entertainment and defense exposure; the trust is not Sharia-screened.
Limitation: The N-PORT lists holdings and market values but does not allocate every issuer's revenue into a school-neutral prohibited-activity numerator.
Purification
VOO passes through dividends from underlying issuers and the N-PORT does not provide a scholar-approved prohibited-income allocation; ZakatInvest does not invent a purification percentage.
Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
- The March 31, 2026 N-PORT reports total assets of $1,423,980.321 million, total liabilities of $2,717.009 million and net assets of $1,421,263.311 million.
- The N-PORT schedule does not provide a complete fund-level cash, receivables, interest-bearing-debt or operating-revenue statement; zeroes are placeholders for unreported lines and are not evidence of a quantitative pass.
- The schedule is a broad S&P 500 pass-through portfolio and identifies conventional banks, alcohol, tobacco, casinos, entertainment and defense holdings; no universal underlying prohibited-revenue numerator is reported.
- Fund-level look-through ratios are not an official FTSE, MSCI or Malaysia classification.
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.
