HALAL — SCREEN DOES NOT PASSstock

Is WH Halal?

Hotel franchising with a 62.38% debt/assets screen.

What You Should Know

Wyndham's March 31, 2026 filing shows debt/assets 62.38%, liquidity/assets 1.86% and receivables plus cash/assets 8.92%. Hotel franchising is generally permissible, but franchisee-level alcohol and other amenities remain qualitative concerns and the debt screen fails.

⚠️ Concerns

  • Debt screen fails at 62.38% of assets
  • Franchisee-level alcohol and gaming activity is not quantified
  • Gross interest income not separately disclosed

Not calculated

A properly licensed and reproducible 24- or 36-month issuer market-cap history is not stored, so market-cap methods are not estimated from a current spot price.

Business-activity disclosure

Wyndham is a hotel-franchising and hospitality-services company. Franchising is generally permissible, but franchisees may provide alcohol, gaming and other non-permissible amenities that are not quantified in the issuer filing.

Limitation: The filing does not provide a reproducible prohibited-revenue numerator for franchisee-level alcohol, gaming, entertainment or other scholar-specific activity categories.

Purification

Gross interest income and a scholar-approved prohibited-revenue numerator are not separately disclosed; no purification percentage is inferred.

Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
  • Debt combines $23 million of current long-term debt with $2,627 million of long-term debt; the debt note reports $2,650 million total.
  • Cash uses $79 million of cash and cash equivalents. No separately identified interest-bearing security balance is included in the screen.
  • Trade receivables are $300 million and quarterly net revenue is $327 million.
  • The filing reports interest expense, net, but does not separately disclose gross interest income usable as a standalone screen input.

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.
