DOUBTFUL — SCREEN DOES NOT PASSstock

Is VRSK Halal?

Verisk's conventional-insurance analytics raise a material qualitative concern and March 2026 debt/assets was 97.33%, failing the examined screens.

What You Should Know

Verisk's March 2026 filing reports 97.33% interest-bearing debt/assets, 11.42% identifiable liquidity/assets and 23.46% receivables-plus-cash/assets. Insurance underwriting and claims analytics are the largest disclosed revenue category, but no unsupported prohibited-revenue percentage is invented.

⚠️ Concerns

  • Primary business enables conventional insurance
  • Interest-bearing debt was 97.33% of total assets
  • Financial analytics may facilitate conventional lending
  • Interest income is not separately disclosed for the quarter

Business-activity disclosure

Verisk provides data and analytics primarily supporting conventional insurance underwriting and claims. Many scholars regard conventional insurance as non-compliant, making the business screen a material concern.

Limitation: The filing reports insurance revenue and other analytics revenue but does not classify contracts under a Sharia standard or provide a prohibited-revenue numerator.

Purification

The filing does not separately quantify interest income for the quarter. Purification cannot cure a failed business or debt screen, and no fixed percentage is prescribed.

Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
  • Amounts are USD millions from Verisk's March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q.
  • Debt includes short-term/current debt of 258.4 and long-term debt of 4,217.2.
  • Available-for-sale securities plus cash are reported at 525.2; cash is reported at 524.5, so identifiable securities are 0.7.
  • The filing discusses higher interest income but does not separately disclose a current-quarter amount.
  • Insurance and other customer revenue is not a Sharia-classified numerator.

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.
