VTI
Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF
Is VTI Halal?
Total market ETF — includes all stocks, haram and halal.
What You Should Know
VTI tracks the entire U.S. stock market. Its March 2026 N-PORT reports $1,993,489.486 million of total assets, but does not provide a complete fund-level debt, cash, receivables or prohibited-income statement. The holdings schedule includes conventional banks, alcohol, tobacco, casinos, entertainment and defense exposure, so the existing qualitative concern remains and the overall screen is FAIL.
⚠️ Concerns
- •Very broad exposure to conventional financial services
- •Alcohol, tobacco and casino holdings
- •Defense and entertainment exposure
- •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.

A licensed historical look-through market-cap series is not stored; market-cap methodology cannot replace issuer-level activity review.
Business-activity disclosure
VTI is a broad total-market pass-through ETF. Its March 2026 holdings span conventional financial institutions, alcohol and tobacco companies, casinos, entertainment and defense exposure; the fund 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
VTI 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 $1,993,489.486 million, total liabilities of $1,798.274 million and net assets of $1,991,691.212 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.
- VTI is a total U.S. stock-market pass-through portfolio and includes conventional banks, alcohol, tobacco, casinos, entertainment and defense exposure; 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.
