The standards disagree — knowing why lets you decide which view you follow.

Why they differ
  • Illiquid-asset floor

    Tangible (illiquid) assets are 13.0% of total. Mufti Taqi require at least 20% — the only standard that imposes this floor — so FOXA fails there while the others, which have no such rule, pass.

  • Debt cap

    Interest-bearing debt is 25.9% of market cap — over the 0% cap used by Strict, but within the 30%/33% cap of AAOIFI, Mufti Taqi, DJIM and Ja'fari.

  • Cash & securities cap

    Cash + interest-bearing securities are 18.5% of market cap — above the limit Strict apply, but within AAOIFI, Mufti Taqi, DJIM and Ja'fari's.

  • Impermissible income

    Impermissible (mostly interest) income is 1.1% of revenue — Strict allow 0% here, the others up to 5%.

Each difference is computed from the exact threshold each standard publishes — not an opinion. Pick the standard your scholar follows; HalalGauge shows the receipts either way.

The numbers behind the verdict

Interest-bearing debt / market cap
25.9%
Cash + securities / market cap
18.5%
Receivables / market cap
8.6%
Impermissible income / revenue
1.1%
Illiquid (tangible) assets / total
13.0%

Thresholds and methodology differ by scholar — e.g. AAOIFI caps interest-bearing debt at 30% of market cap, DJIM at 33%, and Mufti Taqi additionally requires tangible assets to be at least 20% of total assets. That's why two screeners can disagree on the same stock.
