Business-activity disclosure
Zillow's marketplace, listings, rental advertising and brokerage technology are generally permissible services. Zillow Home Loans and mortgage-related revenue involve conventional financing and require school- and contract-specific review.
Limitation: The filing does not allocate revenue by contract-level Sharia status or separately disclose a universal prohibited-revenue numerator; mortgage revenue is disclosed but interest and fee components are not fully separated.
Purification
Other income is primarily interest income but is reported as a net aggregate; ZakatInvest does not invent a scholar-approved purification percentage.
Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
- Amounts are USD millions from Zillow Group's December 31, 2025 Form 10-K.
- Debt uses $364 million of borrowings under credit facilities; lease liabilities are excluded. Cash is $768 million and short-term fixed-income investments are $527 million.
- Accounts receivable is $149 million and total revenue is $2,583 million. Other income of $77 million consists primarily of interest income but also includes other items, so gross interest income is not inferred.
- Zillow Group reports residential, rentals, mortgage and other revenue; the ZG alias uses the issuer's consolidated Class A/Class C filing without changing the site's ticker or URL.
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.
