Business-activity disclosure
XLK is a pass-through technology-sector ETF. Software, hardware and semiconductor activity is generally permissible, but the fund includes communications and platform companies with mixed content and business lines and does not provide a school-neutral prohibited-revenue allocation for every issuer.
Limitation: The report provides fund-level holdings and income, not a universal prohibited-revenue allocation across all issuers.
Purification
The fund discloses only aggregate incidental interest and securities-lending income; no scholar-approved purification percentage is inferred for underlying issuer dividends.
Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
- Amounts are USD millions converted from XLK's unaudited March 31, 2026 semiannual statements.
- The fund reports USD 84,274.164094 million of total assets, USD 85.420370 million of affiliated investments, USD 11.802567 million of net cash at broker and USD 15.847574 million of dividends and securities-lending receivables.
- Six-month investment income totals USD 286.187731 million. Disclosed interest and securities-lending income of USD 0.396787 million is used as the incidental non-compliant-income numerator; underlying issuer revenue is not allocated by the fund.
- ETF 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.
