The Short Answer
DuPont (DD) is generally halal on the examined activity and current asset-based financial screens. Its continuing healthcare, water, specialty-materials and industrial-technology businesses are generally permissible at the activity level. The filing does not provide a universal prohibited-revenue numerator by product or end use, so this remains methodology-dependent rather than a claim of universal certification.

A properly licensed and reproducible historical market-cap series is not stored, so these methods are not estimated from a current spot price.
Business-activity disclosure
DuPont's continuing operations comprise Healthcare & Water Technologies and Diversified Industrials, including medical packaging, biopharma materials, industrial water, automotive and aerospace materials, building technologies and related specialty products. These general-purpose specialty-materials and water technologies are generally permissible at the activity level.
Limitation: The filing provides segment and product descriptions but does not allocate a universal prohibited-revenue numerator by customer, product end use or industrial application, so no unsupported haram-revenue percentage is estimated.
Purification
Disclosed interest income is 0.59% of quarterly continuing-operations revenue and passes the examined income threshold, but no fixed scholar-approved purification rate is asserted and business-revenue allocation remains incomplete.
Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
- Assets use DuPont's consolidated total assets of $21,449 million at March 31, 2026.
- Interest-bearing debt uses $40 million of commercial paper plus $3,132 million of long-term debt. Pension, operating and other noncurrent obligations are not silently added.
- Cash uses $710 million of cash and cash equivalents. Restricted cash and no separately reported securities balance are not added.
- Accounts and notes receivable uses the reported $1,699 million net balance; investments and noncurrent receivables are not silently added.
- Quarterly continuing-operations net sales are $1,681 million and disclosed interest income is $10 million, or 0.59% of revenue. The filing notes that $7 million is non-cash interest on the Delrin-related Derby note receivable.
- The Q1 filing reflects Qnity's November 2025 separation and reports the Aramids business as discontinued operations; DuPont completed the Aramids sale on April 1, 2026.
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.
This is a reproducible ZakatInvest calculation from DuPont's March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q. It is not an index-membership claim or a fatwa. Market-cap denominator methods are not estimated without a licensed historical market-cap series.
Sharia Screening Methodology
Islamic equity screens commonly examine business activity, interest-bearing debt, cash and securities, receivables and separately disclosed non-compliant income. Denominators and thresholds vary by methodology, so the named methods are shown separately.
DuPont's Continuing Business Activity
DuPont now reports Healthcare & Water Technologies and Diversified Industrials. Healthcare & Water Technologies includes medical packaging, biopharma materials and industrial-water technologies. Diversified Industrials includes automotive, aerospace, printing, packaging and building technologies. These general-purpose specialty-materials and water-technology activities are generally permissible.
Q1 2026 continuing-operations net sales were $1,681 million. DuPont separated Qnity Electronics on November 1, 2025, and the Aramids business was reported as discontinued operations before its sale closed on April 1, 2026. The current screen does not silently treat those businesses as continuing operating revenue.
Qualitative Concerns
1. Portfolio changes
The Qnity separation and Aramids divestiture materially changed DuPont's perimeter. The Aramids transaction included approximately $1.2 billion of cash, a $300 million interest-bearing note and an equity interest, so future filings should be checked for balance-sheet and income changes.
2. Healthcare, water and industrial end use
Medical packaging, biopharma materials, water purification, automotive, aerospace, printing, packaging and building technologies serve varied customers. Public reporting does not isolate every downstream end use, so the quantitative screen does not replace qualitative diligence.
3. Interest income
DuPont reported $10 million of interest income, or 0.59% of quarterly continuing-operations revenue. The filing notes that $7 million relates to the Delrin-related Derby note receivable. This passes the examined 5% income threshold, but no fixed scholar-approved purification rate is asserted.
4. Environmental and legacy matters
PFAS, environmental remediation, legacy liabilities, restructuring and separation-related obligations remain material stewardship and governance topics. They are not automatically prohibited business revenue.
Current Financial Ratios (March 31, 2026)

- Cash + interest-bearing securities / assets: 3.31% — below the examined liquidity limits ✅
- Receivables + cash / assets: 11.23% — below the examined 50% limit ✅
- Disclosed interest income / revenue: 0.59% — below the examined 5% threshold ✅
- Prohibited-revenue numerator: Not disclosed; product and end-use allocation remains incomplete
How to Read the Result
DD is methodology-dependent but financially passing in this review. The examined asset-based ratios and disclosed interest-income ratio pass, while current continuing-operations allocation and post-divestiture business mix remain qualitative.
- FTSE Yasaar asset-based financial screen — Passes at 14.79% debt/assets ✅
- MSCI Islamic total-assets financial screen — Passes at 14.79% debt/assets ✅
- Malaysia SAC asset-based financial screen — Passes at 14.79% debt/assets ✅
Bottom Line
DuPont (DD) is currently generally halal with an incomplete business-activity allocation. Its continuing specialty-materials, healthcare, water and industrial activities are generally permissible and the latest asset-based ratios pass. Investors should track post-Qnity and post-Aramids filings, legacy liabilities and the interest-income purification question with their preferred Sharia adviser.
DD's current asset-based ratios and disclosed interest-income ratio pass, while post-separation product and end-use allocation remains qualitative.
