Why Tech Stocks Dominate Halal Portfolios
Technology companies make excellent halal investments for several reasons: they typically carry low debt, generate cash from selling software and hardware (not lending money), and their business activities are inherently neutral. This contrasts sharply with banks, consumer staples (which often sell alcohol), and entertainment companies.
The Top Halal Tech Stocks
1. NVIDIA (NVDA) — AI Infrastructure
NVIDIA designs the GPUs that power AI training and inference. The company has transformed from a gaming chip maker into the backbone of the AI revolution. Revenue has grown exponentially and financial ratios are exceptional. The consensus #1 halal tech holding.
2. Microsoft (MSFT) — Cloud + AI
Azure is the world's second-largest cloud platform. Microsoft has embedded AI (Copilot) into every product from Word to Teams to GitHub. Consistent 15%+ revenue growth, minimal debt, clean halal status. One of the best quality growth stocks available to Muslim investors.
3. Apple (AAPL) — Consumer Devices + Services
Apple's device ecosystem (iPhone, Mac, iPad, Watch) and growing services division (App Store, iCloud, Apple TV+) make it a diversified tech giant. Some scholars flag Apple TV+ content, but it remains under the 5% threshold. Generally considered halal.
4. Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM) — Chipmaking
Every advanced semiconductor in the world is made by TSMC. As AI and smartphone demand grows, so does TSMC's business. Halal-screened with clean financials, though geopolitical risk (Taiwan-China tensions) is a consideration.
5. Salesforce (CRM) — Enterprise Software
The world's leading CRM platform. Salesforce helps companies manage customer relationships and is expanding into AI with Einstein AI. Halal-compliant with strong subscription revenue growth.
6. Adobe (ADBE) — Creative + Document Software
Adobe's Creative Cloud (Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere) and Document Cloud (Acrobat) are industry standards. High recurring revenue, strong margins, halal-screened. Adobe is also AI-enabled through Firefly generative AI.
7. Alphabet/Google (GOOGL) — DOUBTFUL
Google is a warning: despite being a tech company, it's classified as doubtful/non-compliant by most screens due to advertising revenue from haram products and YouTube content. Don't assume all big tech is halal — always screen first.
8. Arista Networks (ANET) — Data Center Networking
Data center networking hardware for the AI era. Halal-compliant, fast-growing, with excellent margins. A more specialized pick for investors who want pure AI infrastructure exposure without the NVIDIA premium.
Halal Tech ETF Option
If individual stock picking feels complex, the SPUS ETF (SP Funds S&P 500 Sharia) and HLAL ETF both have significant tech sector weighting while filtering out non-compliant companies. This gives you tech exposure without having to screen each stock manually.
