The Short Answer
Wix stock (WIX) is generally considered halal by most Islamic scholars and Sharia screening criteria. Selling website-building software and hosting is an entirely permissible business. Wix passes the standard Sharia financial screens with low debt and a healthy free cash flow profile.

Business-activity disclosure
Wix provides website creation, hosting and business software. The tooling is generally neutral and permissible, but customer use and payment-processing relationships require qualitative review.
Limitation: The filing does not quantify prohibited end-user content or a universal prohibited-revenue numerator, and market-cap methods are not calculated.
Purification
Interest income of 48.901 million is disclosed; investors should seek qualified guidance on the appropriate treatment.
Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
- Amounts are USD millions from Wix's December 31, 2025 Form 20-F.
- Cash is 311.356; current and noncurrent marketable securities total 958.057.
- Accounts receivable is 41.525 and annual revenue is 1,993.044.
- Interest income is 48.901; the filing reports no borrowings at year end, although a credit facility was entered after year end.
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.
The main considerations are the indirect concern that some end users may build sites with haram content (Wix is a neutral tool), and a small amount of interest income on cash reserves.
Sharia Screening Methodology
Islamic scholars use several criteria to screen stocks:
- Business activity screen: Is the company's primary business halal?
- Debt ratio: Total debt / market cap must be under 33%
- Interest income: Interest income / total revenue must be under 5%
- Haram revenue: Revenue from haram sources must be under 5%
- Receivables ratio: Total receivables / total assets must be under 49–70% (varies by board)
Wix's Business Activity
Wix is a cloud-based website building platform serving small businesses, freelancers, and individuals globally. Revenue comes from:
- Subscription plans for premium website hosting and features (the largest segment)
- Business solutions — payments, scheduling, email marketing, and e-commerce add-ons
- Domain registration and renewals
- Studio products targeted at agencies and developers
Selling website creation tools and hosting is permissible. Wix is a neutral tooling provider — the same software can be used to build a halal business site, an educational page, or an Islamic charity portal.
Financial Ratios (December 31, 2025)
Using Wix's latest Form 20-F, stated in USD millions:
- Interest-bearing debt / total assets: 0% ✅ (no year-end borrowings reported)
- Cash + marketable securities / total assets: 48.56% ❌ (1,269.413 / 2,610.974)
- Receivables + cash / total assets: 13.51% ✅ (352.881 / 2,610.974)
- Interest income / revenue: 2.45% ✅ (48.901 / 1,993.044)
The liquidity screen fails under the examined asset-based methods because Wix holds significant marketable securities; customer-use classification remains qualitative.
Concerns to Be Aware Of
1. End-User Content
Some end users may build websites with haram content (gambling, dating, alcohol, etc.) using Wix's tools. Most scholars treat this as an indirect concern similar to internet service providers or hosting companies — the platform is content-neutral and the responsibility for use lies with the customer.
2. Convertible Notes
Wix has historically used convertible debt as part of its capital structure. While the absolute debt ratio remains within Sharia limits, investors who follow stricter screens may want to verify the latest balance sheet composition before investing.
3. Interest Income on Cash
Wix reports $48.901 million of interest income. Investors should seek qualified guidance on purification; ZakatInvest does not prescribe a fixed percentage.
4. Israel-Domiciled Company
Wix is headquartered in Tel Aviv, Israel. This is not a Sharia compliance issue per se, but some Muslim investors apply personal geopolitical filters when selecting holdings.
How to Read the Quantitative Result
The current asset-based financial screens fail on liquidity/assets. Website tooling is neutral, but end-user content and payment processing remain an incomplete business-activity assessment.
Bottom Line
Wix (WIX) is doubtful on the current quantitative record. Website tooling is generally permissible, but liquidity/assets is 48.56% under the examined methods and customer-use classification remains incomplete. Re-screen after a successor filing and consult a qualified scholar.
For Muslim investors seeking exposure to small-business SaaS with clean Sharia compliance, Wix is one of the more straightforward names in the website-building category.
